We build cool stuff.

Handcrafted. Mother approved.
Need Drupal? WordPress? Want to break up with an archaic CMS? Or, like us, you need to craft a custom application which meets your specific needs, can ensure security and keep your site(s) safe and running? You've found the right team.

Development

Your idea, our code. Off-the-(virtual)-shelf software rarely does exactly what you need. That is why we listen to your needs and can build just about any web based application. Or if you prefer a Drupal or WordPress solution we can accommodate!

Hosting

Serious solutions without fancy marketing or arcane overage charges. From web clusters to private email to files, productivity and messaging suites we have hosted solutions to keep you productive and your information private.

Privacy

If something is free you are the product. All of our services are free of data mining so your information is protected. We provide secure, private open source solutions that keep your data safe.

Not your average development agency

More than just Design & Development
We also host complex site and database clusters and provide hosting for open-source email, collaboration, office/productivity, file sharing, password hosting, version control and much, much more.

wmd.social Powered by Mastodon

The features of Twitter without compromising your ethics
Powered by Mastodon, WMD Social gives you the benefits of Twitter without all the evil. No algorithms or ads to waste your time. Follow anyone across any Mastodon server from a single account and receive their posts in chronological order, and make your corner of the internet a little more like you.

Mastodon puts decision making back in your hands. Each server creates their own rules and regulations, which are enforced locally and not top-down like corporate social media, making it the most flexible in responding to the needs of different groups of people. Join a server with the rules you agree with, or host your own.

WMD DNS

Revolutionary DNS Management
To protect the privacy of our clients we can not give just anyone access to all of the domain names that we manage. That is why we invented WMD DNS and DNS Passes: limited access to any DNS records we manage! Currently supporting CloudFlare, DigitalOcean, DNS Made Easy, GoDaddy, NameCheap and Vultr!
And we made a standalone site for the public at wmddns.com

Upgrading all CentOS 7 servers to AlmaLinux 9

Since RedHat decided to kill off the CentOS (Community Enterprise Operating System) and replace it with the Fedora releases we have been looking at alternative Linux operating systems to power our servers. We have been very happy with the efforts of AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux. Both are nearly identical, except for branding and both products […]

Our post made a meme!

And no, we didn’t create it! Back in April we wrote about a lawsuit forcing Google to delete data collected while browsing using Incognito mode. While it is no surprise that Google keeps everything it collects to use for marketing this is just Fred unmasking the bad guy a la Scooby Doo (another great meme). […]

Real quotes, fake people and cats.

All cats generated from ThisCatDoesNotExist.com, people from ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com.

The random photos of non-existent cats and people were used during development and we thought it was better than nagging folks to submit a photo, so we rolled with it. Check back each day for new photos of cats and people that do not exist. If you don't find this even slightly funny or amusing we're sorry you are that way.
