Become a Meshive Host

Your GPU machines power the creative and demanding work of clients across the world. Meshive’s job is to make hosting one of them feel as effortless as plugging it in.

What you need before starting

• A GPU that appears on the Pricing catalog. If yours is not listed, contact support before purchasing.
• Hardware that meets the Hardware & Network requirements.
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Server on bare metal (no VMs, no GPU passthrough).
• Four open inbound ports on a public IP: 22/tcp, 2222/tcp, 443/tcp, 41641/udp.

Registration flow

BIOS Setup → Install Ubuntu 24.04 → Run install script → Listing → Earning

Each step has its own page in the Host section — start with Hardware & Network.

When you eventually want to retire a machine, see Lifecycle & Removal for how removal and the client grace period work.

Join the host community

Other hosts are working through the same wiring, BIOS, and driver questions you are. Drop into the Meshive Discord to compare notes — it’s also the fastest channel for talking to the Meshive team about anything that doesn’t quite fit a support ticket.

Our promise to hosts

Meshive’s mission is to keep performance, security, and operational quality uniform across every machine in the network. Clients trust the marketplace because every host meets the same bar; hosts earn fairly because uptime translates directly into a better fee tier. The platform absorbs the boring parts — package updates, driver rollouts, port firewalling, credential rotation, IP-change reconnection — so you can keep doing what you do best: running great hardware. Welcome aboard.
