Why Unlimited Servers?

The self-hosted PodWarden tool runs on your hardware. When you add servers to your fleet, we don't incur compute costs. Charging per server would create a tax on growth — discouraging you from scaling when that's exactly what you need.

We charge for the things that cost us money: cloud infrastructure (registry cache, catalog API), support, and collaboration features.

Organizations

Each subscription is tied to an organization. Create an organization under Dashboard → Settings if you haven't already. You'll need:

Organization Name — Your company or team name
Slug — URL-friendly identifier (auto-generated from name)

All API keys and private template access are scoped to your organization.

Registry Cache

The image registry cache is one of the clearest values of a paid plan:

Docker Hub rate limits — 100 pulls per 6 hours for anonymous users. A fleet-wide deployment can exhaust this in a single rollout. The cache pulls once and serves locally.
Image availability — Maintainers delete tags. Repositories get removed. The registry cache pins the images your templates use, so third-party cleanup doesn't break your fleet.
Speed — Cached images are served from PodWarden Hub infrastructure, faster than pulling from upstream registries for every server.
