Hey everyone, my name is Daniel, and I'm a self-taught developer from Poland. I'm 18 years old and here to document my journey building my own VPS hosting company. This has been my dream for as long as I can remember. About a year ago, I decided to stop dreaming and start doing. Half a year ago, I officially founded my company here in Poland.
A bit about me
I've always been the "tech guy" in school, and I've loved coding for years. I'm fully self-taught and haven't gone to a formal IT school. I'm actually in my last year of high school (Liceum, in Poland) right now.
My focus has always been on the backend, the logic and the infrastructure. I'll be honest: I'm not an HTML/CSS guy. Being a solo developer means I have to wear all the hats, so I'm using AI to help with the frontend design and styling. I hope you won't judge me for that, because a solo dev has to be resourceful and get the job done!
What I'm actually building with
So here's the thing - I'm not using any fancy frameworks. Just good old HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Yeah, I know everyone's using React or whatever these days, but honestly? I just wanted to keep things simple. Plus, when you're learning everything yourself, sometimes it's better to really understand the basics first.
Building this thing from scratch has been wild - I did everything from the bottom up. The front page, the control panel, backend connections to Proxmox, the whole thing.
Here's Where I Need Your Help
This is a solo journey, and outside perspective is invaluable. I'd love to hear your honest feedback on my progress and future plans.
I'm currently working hard on new features for the control panel I've built - this includes "2FA Selection", "Design and Performance Overhaul", "Promotional Codes".
I don't know if anyone will even see this, but if you do - thanks for reading and I'd love to hear what you think!
You can find the link to what I've built so far in my profile if you want to take a look!
