Public infrastructure
Free subdomains, full DNS management, and end-to-end encrypted cloud storage with SSL issuance — open to every developer.
XHCGroup is an independent team building free public infrastructure and low-level tools — maintained for the long run, in the open-source spirit.
A good product starts with a clear idea. We build the parts of the internet that should be free and reliable — names, storage, encryption — and we keep them running.
Good products begin with a clear idea. We build the parts of the internet that should be free and reliable — domains, storage, encryption — and maintain them for the long haul.
XHCGroup is made of independent developers, spanning the full self-built chain from frontend to kernel, from compression algorithms to operating systems. We don’t pile on third-party components — we keep the complexity to ourselves and the simplicity for our users.
Whether it’s a free public service or a self-built low-level technology, we design with long-term maintenance in mind — no chasing trends, just solid fundamentals.
Free subdomains, full DNS management, and end-to-end encrypted cloud storage with SSL issuance — open to every developer.
XEBZ extreme-compression containers, and XHC-SS speed-first crypto kernel Combo2 — security and efficiency together.
XHCOS self-built Linux distribution, the ExiFS filesystem, and an original toolchain — from disk format to UI, all in-house.
Free subdomains and a full DNS management platform.
A self-service free SSL certificate platform: one-click issuance via ACME/Let’s Encrypt, with a built-in TrustMe private CA so the issuer shows as TrustMe, supporting DNS-01 and HTTP-01.
Personal blog and a collection of web apps.

A lot of the low-level work runs on infrastructure we trust. DNS and delivery are provided by Cloudflare; everything else is self-hosted and maintained by the team — reliable and under our control.
From kernel to UI, we build as much in-house and under our control as possible. Below are the main technologies behind this infrastructure — battle-tested low-level components alongside our own original implementations.
Starting from the idea of "free and reliable infrastructure," we began building public services and low-level tools.
Free subdomains and full DNS management open to developers, maintained steadily for the long run.
AES-256 end-to-end encrypted drive launched; XEBZ extreme-compression containers and the Combo2 crypto kernel keep getting refined.
The self-built Linux distribution XHCOS kicks off; original projects like cpu-db and nekos.uk go public one by one.
The XHCZ6 compression kernel chases extreme ratios; the speed-first XHC-SS I (v2.6) ships with the Combo2 crypto kernel by default.
XHCOS 2.0 / 14.04 Legacy / Lite (optimized for low-end hardware) run in parallel; the free 159.email mailbox opens.
A pixel-perfect WMC recreation using official assets: five boot animations and photo/music/video hubs, running on Cloudflare Workers (wmc.xsite.dev).
Launched a self-service free SSL certificate service (ca.xsite.dev): one-click issuance via ACME/Let’s Encrypt, with a built-in TrustMe private CA so the issuer shows as TrustMe.
