The TalCloud story
It all starts with a simple passion: video games. We have always played with friends, and like many communities, we needed servers to get together. But every time, we ended up in the same place: either the hosting was too expensive, or it was poor quality, with lag, absent support and promises that were never kept.
So instead of putting up with it, we decided to do it ourselves. First for our own servers, then for our friends' servers. For more than five years, we have been hosting the servers of the people around us, learning on the job, building real infrastructure, breaking and fixing things until they ran perfectly.
Over time, one thing became obvious: if our friends were happy, why not offer the same to everyone? That is how TalCloud was born, officially launched in 2026 as a French company. The same standards as between friends, but for a whole community.
The team
TalCloud is a small team of enthusiasts who do the work themselves, with no middlemen. When you write to us, you talk directly to the people who run the infrastructure.
Benjamin "Jupiter"
Founder & full-stack developer
A senior full-stack developer and infrastructure technician, Jupiter started TalCloud. He is just as comfortable with web development (React, Astro, TypeScript, Node.js, Python) as with Linux infrastructure, networking (Proxmox, pfSense, VLAN, firewalls, VPN) and cybersecurity. Passionate about artificial intelligence and automation, he designs and runs the whole platform. Before TalCloud, he built his first hosting infrastructure on around twenty physical machines and volunteered on the support team of a hosting provider.
Anthony
Head of hardware & network infrastructure
Anthony shares the same story: a passionate gamer, he also wanted to build a host that lived up to his expectations. A specialist in server hardware and networking, he brings solid experience in assembling, configuring and optimizing the physical infrastructure that runs your servers. He is the one making sure the hardware is reliable, fast and properly sized.
What sets us apart
We do not want to be "just another host". Here is what matters to us:
- Transparency. No vague superlatives or promises we cannot keep: clear specifications, an explained infrastructure and a public status page.
- Support close to gamers. We are gamers first: we understand your problems because we have lived them. You talk to real people, in French, not to an outsourced call centre.
- A wish to help. What drives us is seeing your project run. We would rather take the time to help you than leave you alone with a ticket.
- 100% French. Infrastructure hosted in France, to keep your data in the country and a low ping for your communities.
