Invite beta · compute instances

Launch VMs on hardware that already exists.

RentYourCompute turns spare PCs, mini-PCs, and shop fleets into interruptible cloud instances — full virtual machines you reach over SSH, metered by the hour.

Best-effort capacity: interruptible by design.

From spare machine to running instance

Three moves.
One honest path.

Providers stay in control, buyers see exactly what they rent, and every byte travels the same path — through the gateway, never around it.

  1. 01

    Connect a spare machine.

    Install the agent on a PC or mini-PC. It dials out to RYC over an encrypted connection — no open ports, no inbound access to your network.

  2. 02

    Join the private device network.

    The device shows up in your dashboard, where you name it and set how many instances it can host and how big. It stays yours — retire it whenever you want.

  3. 03

    Launch and get to work.

    Buyers choose by reputation, reliability, and price. Usage is metered at the gateway, and buyer traffic reaches the device through the RYC gateway.

Products

Compute first.
Proxy when you need it.

Instances are the product. Everything else is secondary.

Flagship · Compute

Compute instances

Full virtual machines on provider hardware. Pick a machine type, attach an SSH key, and connect through the RYC gateway.

  • Machine types and SSH keys, console-style
  • SSH access through the RYC gateway
  • Metered per instance-hour, egress listed separately
Secondary · Networking

Proxy egress

Need provider bandwidth instead of compute? Route traffic through a proxy endpoint, metered per gigabyte.

For providers

The machines gathering dust can become inventory.

Turn a spare desktop or a shelf of mini-PCs into metered capacity. What you can do with each device today:

  • Name every device
  • Set the slice template — instance count and size
  • Retire a device whenever you're done

Track each device's rentals and earnings from your dashboard. While we're in the invite period, invoicing and payouts are arranged directly — nothing is charged automatically.

Pricing

Invite pricing: nothing is charged yet.

We're onboarding with operator-set pricing and no charges during the invite period. When billing starts, the model stays simple: instance-hours and egress gigabytes are metered separately at the gateway — never bundled.

Questions, answered plainly

What buyers and providers ask first.

What happens if a device goes offline mid-rental?

Best-effort capacity is interruptible by design: if the provider's device goes offline, the instance goes with it. Run fault-tolerant work here, and choose Committed or Verified offerings when a workload needs stronger expectations.

How isolated is my instance?

Every rental runs in its own slice — MicroVM isolation on tier 1 and 2 offerings, Sandbox isolation on tier 3. Slices keep tenants apart on shared provider hardware.

Does my traffic pass through RYC's servers?

Buyer traffic enters the RYC gateway and reaches the device over an outbound reverse tunnel the device opens. We measure instance-hours and egress at the gateway, and those gateway measurements are the numbers billing uses.

How do billing and payouts work right now?

Manually. During the invite period nothing is charged automatically — we invoice buyers directly and arrange provider payouts directly. The console still shows every rental; usage verification happens at the gateway.

What can providers control today?

Naming each device, the slice template (how many instances it can host, and how big), and retirement. That's the full list — there are no bandwidth caps or schedules to configure.

Is capacity highly available?

No — RYC is best-effort by design and we don't promise hyperscaler-grade uptime. The reliability tier on each offering (Best-effort, Committed, Verified) tells you what to expect.

Honest reliability

Choose the assurance you need. Pay accordingly.

01

Best-effort

Lowest-cost capacity that may disappear when a device goes offline.

02

Committed

Capacity from providers meeting stronger availability expectations.

03

Verified

Higher-assurance supply with stricter network and provider checks.

We do not promise hyperscaler-grade uptime. Best-effort capacity is interruptible by design — pick the tier that fits the workload.
