About
Built and operated by Kris Rivenburgh.
Most managed hosting is run by people you'll never speak to. CloudMagnus is run by one person, who answers the email, writes the code, and is on the page when something breaks.
Background.
I'm Kris. I founded Accessible.org, where I run WCAG conformance audits and help organizations actually fix their accessibility issues (rather than slap an overlay on the site and call it done).
The accessible.org work meant standing up a lot of customer sites: WordPress instances for client landing pages, Next.js apps for the audit-report viewer, Django for the internal scoring tooling. Each one took half a day to wire up properly because every managed host I tried got something wrong: the framework scaffold was incomplete, the SSL setup needed three support tickets, the DNS instructions were vague enough that the customer always called.
CloudMagnus is the platform I wanted: managed hosting where the operator has actually used the product to ship real customer sites, where the failure modes are documented because they were debugged in person, and where the support email reaches someone who can read the code and tell you the answer.
How CloudMagnus is built.
Honest copy
The dashboard tells you what's actually happening. Failure messages name the failure mode. The pricing page describes the product as it is, not as a future-tense aspiration.
Documented infrastructure
Every privileged operation goes through a small, audited bridge with a published spec. The security model is in the docs, not in the operator's head.
Boring choices
Postgres, Express, EJS, vanilla JS, server-rendered HTML. No build pipelines, no client frameworks, no novel infrastructure. The kind of stack you can debug at 2am.
