OpenCPU, OpenMemory, OpenGPU and OpenBandwidth are being written as the blocks that nest inside an offer's compute, compute.gpu and network, and that stand alone as offers. Related standards now says so, with links at /docs/<slug> where those specs will land. No subdomain is named anywhere in this spec: every LogicSRC spec lives on logicsrc.com only.

<h2>OpenServer</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
One file a hosting provider serves about what it sells. A directory reads the
|
|
provider instead of scraping a page, and the provider stays the author of its own
|
|
catalog.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p style={{ color: "#41505d" }}>
|
|
Every provider publishes its catalog as a web page, every comparison site scrapes those
|
|
pages, and the comparison site's terms then forbid anyone from scraping the scrape.
|
|
The provider, who wanted its offers seen, has no say in how they appear. A buyer's
|
|
agent that wants a 4 vCPU ARM box in Europe under 10 a month, in stock, reads twenty
|
|
pricing pages twenty different ways. OpenServer puts the table the order form already
|
|
reads at <code style={mono}>/.well-known/openserver.json</code>, in one shape every
|
|
reader agrees on, so an offer can be found instead of scraped.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p style={{ color: "#5b6b7a" }}>
|
|
Status: 0.1. It covers cloud, VPS, dedicated and bare-metal servers, colocation,
|
|
hardware for your own premises, shared and managed hosting, platforms, functions,
|
|
storage, GPU, edge and peer-to-peer markets. The first directory reading it is the hosting
|
|
collection at <a href="https://nichedb.dev/c/hosting">nichedb.dev</a>.
