Looking for something.floatypotato.com? Hostnames here belong to people running their own servers: at home, in a closet, on a Raspberry Pi. If one isn't loading, its server is probably napping. Let its owner know.

Drifting along, keeping someone's server afloat.

“Floaty potato” is what the internet calls a manatee: large, gentle, unhurried, and very good at staying afloat.

The servers named here are a lot like that. Someone keeps each one running at home, at their own pace.

What is this domain?

floatypotato.com is a shared home for hostnames. Each name under it belongs to a different person running their own server, through closetserver.com. A name here is theirs, not ours.

Seen a name misused?

Every name here is registered by a person, and we look after the neighbourhood. If one is being used for phishing, malware or anything else it shouldn't be, tell abuse@closetserver.com. We usually act the same day.
