The challenge
Stellquar needed to provision and bill three very different hosting products — shared web hosting, dedicated servers, and (via Pixelhaven) Minecraft servers — without running three separate backends that would drift apart over time.
Results
The same provisioning core now also runs Pixelhaven's Minecraft hosting — every new hosting type becomes a new provider implementation, not a new platform.
What we built
- A Go API on chi, with a single service-type model driving per-provider provisioning instead of one codebase per hosting type
- Kubernetes via Kubespray on Rocky Linux, KVM/QEMU and Apache CloudStack, with Ceph for storage
- Stripe-backed billing and MinIO object storage behind a shared internal platform module (auth, billing client, secure links)
- A React 19 customer control panel with an in-browser terminal for direct server access, deployed to Cloudflare Pages
- A 16-region CDN fronted by Cloudflare Tunnel and BIND9 DNS, provisioned and secured end-to-end with Ansible and Vault
