What the host program is — and isn’t
Today every myping test routes through Cloudflare’s anycast network. That gives accurate measurements but it also means one network operator decides what "the internet" looks like from any given location. The host program is our long-term answer: a fleet of independently operated, geographically diverse nodes that participate in measurements and publish their findings.
The program is not open yet. There’s no software to download, no contract, no SLA. This page exists so we can learn who’s interested and where they’d run a node. When the program is real we’ll reach out to the people who applied here first.
What we’re looking for
- An always-on machine on a stable uplink — fiber, business cable, or a colo cabinet.
- Comfort with operating a small Linux service: a single binary, systemd or Docker, modest CPU and memory.
- A willingness to publish aggregated, non-identifying measurement metadata so the network's view of regional performance stays honest.
What this isn’t
- We won't ask you to terminate user traffic or run a CDN edge.
- We won't ship anything that touches your subscribers' identities or browsing.
- There's no payment system here yet — applying isn't an order, and there's nothing to bill.
