Houston-based fulfillment unlocks faster access to Start9’s privacy-first Server One and open-source StartOS, built for self-hosting servers and Bitcoin nodes. Solo Satoshi today announced it is Start9’s first official US distributor, launching fast, US-based distribution from Houston, Texas to help more households take a practical first step toward sovereign computing. The initiative is simple: reduce logistical friction, shorten delivery times, and make it easier for Americans to get the hardware needed to run their own services on infrastructure they control. announced it is Start9’s first official US distributor Sovereign computing is the opposite of default cloud life. Instead of renting access to someone else’s servers, individuals run essential software on a private server at home, with data stored and processed locally. Start9 frames this model as a direct answer to modern concerns like privacy erosion, censorship risk, and platform lock-in. Solo Satoshi will be carrying the 2026 Start9 Server One, a personal plug and play server designed to power a wide range of self-hosted services. Start9 positions Server One as capable of running services from its Marketplace and as a foundation for a private cloud at home. While Start9 is best known for privacy and sovereignty, these servers are also a natural fit for Bitcoiners who want to run their own infrastructure. Start9 explicitly highlights Bitcoin and Lightning among core use cases, and many users leverage Server One to run a Bitcoin full node as part of a broader self-hosted setup. 2026 Start9 Server One Marketplace Customers purchasing through Solo Satoshi will also receive Start9’s included membership benefits that come with Start9 servers. Start9 states that Server One purchases include a lifetime membership to Start9 Support (a stated $300 value), designed to give users direct access to Start9’s support team and resources. In other words, buyers get the advantage of fast domestic delivery from Solo Satoshi while still receiving Start9’s renowned customer service model tied to their product line-up.
