At TCF Ventures LLC, we’ve always believed infrastructure should feel empowering—not overwhelming. That belief has driven a major overhaul of our platform from the inside out. Today, we’re excited to unveil two big updates: a completely restructured VPS product line and the launch of AppFox, a lightweight app hosting solution designed for creators, devs, and tinkerers alike.

These new products aren’t just incremental improvements—they represent a total shift in how we build and deliver services. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by bloated plans or locked out by rigid pricing models, you’re going to like where we’re heading.

The New VPS Experience: Clarity, Control, Customization

Let’s start with VPS. Traditional VPS plans often give you two choices: pay for more than you need or get stuck with less than you want. We’re fixing that.

Our new VPS lineup comes in two flavors: Standard Tiers and a Build-Your-Box.

Standard plans are simple, transparent, and tuned for everyday use cases—from side projects to scalable infrastructure. Whether you’re running a lightweight web app or a personal staging server, you’ll find performance that punches above its price point. Every plan includes NVMe SSD storage, bandwidth caps that make sense, and solid baseline speeds.

But if you’re someone who needs precision—you’re going to love the upcoming configurator. You’ll be able to fine-tune exactly how much CPU, RAM, bandwidth, and storage you want, with real-time pricing updates as you adjust. No surprises. No fluff. Just infrastructure the way it should be.

AppFox: A New Home for Your Bots, Tools, and Services

We heard the same feedback from a lot of you: “I don’t need a full VPS—I just want to host this bot or tool somewhere fast, safe, and affordable.” That’s exactly why we built AppFox.

AppFox is our container-based application hosting platform, optimized for lightweight workloads like Discord bots, ShareX uploaders, webhooks, dashboards, and static file servers. You get the power of Docker under the hood, without the complexity.

AppFox environments come with optional domain linking, built-in restart protection, rollback support, live logs, and prebuilt templates for common stacks. Whether you're spinning up a Node.js bot or a tiny CDN node, it takes minutes to deploy—and you don’t have to think about the low-level stuff.

Why We Rebuilt Everything

This overhaul isn’t just about shinier interfaces or cleaner pricing—it’s about building products that scale with you. We realized that traditional shared hosting was holding us back. It was inflexible, noisy, and difficult to support. So we phased it out and focused on what matters: speed, transparency, customization, and community.

Every service on our platform now enforces isolation, supports automation, and reflects real-world developer needs. Whether you’re hosting an API, previewing a side project, or building something weird and wonderful, we want TCF Ventures to be your favorite place to spin it up.

Domains That Actually Fit Your Projects

While we’re at it—yes, we also revamped our domain offerings. Through our partnership with the .it.com TLD, we now offer vanity domains like mybot.it.com or uploads.it.com. And when you bundle a domain with a hosting plan, you’ll get options to link it with DNS and SSL completely free.

In short, your bot doesn’t need to live on a random subdomain anymore. Now it can have its own real name—and that name can route traffic cleanly, with SSL, from day one.

What’s Next

There’s more on the way, including:

  • Our real-time VPS configurator (coming soon)
  • New AppFox templates for Discord bots, nginx proxies, and CI runners
  • Bundle offers with free domains for annual plans
  • A growing Discord community with dev support and sneak peeks

This is a new era for TCF Ventures—and it’s just getting started. If you’ve been waiting for an infrastructure provider that gets solo builders, indie devs, and low-latency weirdos… you’re home now.

Stay tuned. More is coming.
