I didn't start SyndiHost because I wanted to build another hosting company.
I started it because I wanted to simplify a process that kept feeling more complicated than it should.
Hosting a website often means dealing with several separate things:
hosting;
files;
domains;
DNS;
SSL;
migration.
If you have one website, that's manageable.
If you work with multiple websites, the routine becomes much more noticeable.
My idea
I decided to put the user interface inside Telegram.
The concept:
User
↓
Telegram bot
↓
Backend
↓
Hosting infrastructure
The bot handles the user interaction while the backend handles the actual work.
One of the main features: copying websites
I wanted users to be able to take a ready website and prepare it for hosting without going through a long manual process.
Because copying can take time, I built a queue for longer operations.
The flow is roughly:
User starts task
↓
Task enters queue
↓
Server processes it
↓
Result is returned
The product
SyndiHost currently combines website hosting and website copying in one Telegram-based workflow.
Hosting starts at 49 RUB/month.
The core promise is intentionally simple:
Copy → host → done.
Now comes the hard part
The product is working.
Now I need to find out whether people actually want it.
My first milestone is:
50 paying users.
Then:
100 → 300 → 500.
I'm planning to test content, communities, search traffic, direct outreach and other acquisition channels rather than assuming I already know what works.
If you're interested in the experiment, the project is here:
I'd also be interested in hearing how you currently handle website migration and hosting.

“The product is working” and “My first milestone is: 50 paying users” are two different checkpoints. Interest in Telegram alone isn't the demand signal yet; the stronger one is someone bringing a real site they need moved — and caring enough about the next migration to pay again. The useful question is which kind of site owner feels this often enough that “copy → host → done” changes their week. What kind of user are you testing first?
Finding the first 50 for a hosting product is mostly about a narrow group that already lives in Telegram. I'd ask each early customer what they were hosting on before and why they left; that tells you where the next ones are. I built chatform.in for short asks like that, and it's free at this size.
Hosting inside Telegram is a neat idea for people juggling several sites. Three weeks in, how close are you to the first 50, and which channel brought the first ones?
