Deploy Iceshrimp with one-click installation.
Decentralized ActivityPub social network built on .NET, succeeding Misskey with a faster, leaner backend.
What you can build with Iceshrimp
Iceshrimp.NET is a complete rewrite of the Iceshrimp fediverse server, swapping the original Node.js stack for a modern .NET backend and a Blazor WebAssembly frontend. The result is a federated social network that runs ActivityPub at a fraction of the memory and CPU footprint of Misskey-family servers, while staying fully compatible with the wider fediverse.
Self-hosting Iceshrimp on your VPS keeps your community, content, and moderation policies under your control — with no algorithmic feeds, no advertising, and no platform lock-in. A Mastodon-compatible API also lets users keep their favorite mobile and web clients.
Key features of Iceshrimp
ActivityPub Federation
Connects natively with Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, and the rest of the fediverse so your users can follow and interact across thousands of independent servers.
Mastodon-compatible API
Drop-in support for popular Mastodon clients like Elk, Phanpy, Ice Cubes, and Tusky means users keep the apps they already love.
Lean .NET Backend
The all-new .NET backend is significantly faster and more resource-efficient than Misskey-family servers, making smaller VPS plans viable for federated hosting.
Configurable Public Preview
An HTML-only public preview lets logged-out visitors browse local content without exposing the full client app, with granular controls over what is shown.
Authorized Fetch & Block Lists
Built-in support for authorized fetch, block-list or allow-list federation modes, and configurable signature validation gives admins strong moderation tooling.
Migration from Iceshrimp-JS
A well-supported upgrade path means existing Iceshrimp-JS instances can move to the new backend without losing accounts, posts, or follows.

I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
