Recently, bloc.host has completely uprooted its backend, and rebuilt a lot for a better and brighter future. As part of this we have listened to our community and added in support for build containers! We are launching this feature with Hugo support as we build and test our setup. We plan to offer unmetered build time on specified containers with each site, and a higher plan to bring your own...
Recently, in a bid to provide better service and bring in more customers, we upgraded our data center systems to a 10gig connection. Since we are no where close to saturating our bandwidth, we wanted to come up with new ways to use it. One of the suggestions my business partner made eventually led us to bloc.host. We both were looking for a way to easily host our company/personal sites and projects that was within our own infrastructure and control. So, in some sense for personal need, but also for the challenge, the experience, and the maximization of our resources.
There is plenty more in the pipeline for bloc.host as we continue to improve performance and introduce new features.
