Periwinkle is making self-hosted social media on Bluesky’s AT Protocol even easier

Periwinkle is a Berlin-based startup offering managed hosting for AT Protocol Personal Data Servers (PDS), making it easier for non-technical users to own their social media presence on a custom domain. Built on the same open-source protocol powering Bluesky, it handles server updates, backups, and monitoring. Plans start at $4/month for 5 handles and 5 GB storage, with EU and US hosting options. The service is analogous to managed WordPress hosting but for decentralized social media, targeting users who want data ownership without the complexity of self-hosting.
