BotHosted
My first servers, everyone else's bots.
Before I could really code I was already running servers. BotHosted was simple arbitrage: I bought a VPS from a very cheap provider, split it up and rented the slices out as homes for other people's Discord bots and Minecraft servers.
Around 25 customers trusted their projects to a teenager's server, it made me a little money and it handed me an education in Linux, uptime and what happens at 11pm when someone's bot goes down. Years later, when Coinz needed real infrastructure, I had already been the infrastructure guy.
Looking for a technical co-founder?
