Very likely the first VPS hoster to have Haiku as an installation image (with pre-configured network and user settings).

haiku is honestly the last choice for a vps because of how insecure it is compared to linux or bsd
Well,Haiku had the patch for the critical PHP security issues days before FreeBSD,where they finally arrived today in the 15.1 quarterly repository.
Anyway,you’re right,Haiku isn’t the ideal server OS and it’s not meant to be one either.
The goal of the project,a OS that specifically targets desktop computers,is pretty clear.
But it can still be useful to have the option of easily running Haiku on a vServer,for example for running a BeShare server (that’s Haiku-exclusive) or building Haiku packages or running a CI that checks if something builds on Haiku.

speaking of, you know any behsare servers still online? the default coolquietkid doesnt really work, or is it just slow?
beshare.agmsmith.ca is the one I think most people are using nowadays.
Its chat is also bridged to the #haiku IRC.
