Democratizing data centers.
RentYourCompute turns the world's idle hardware — old PCs, phones, mini-PCs, and the machines gathering dust at local computer shops — into affordable, on-demand cloud compute and residential proxies.

Cloud is concentrated, costly, and wasteful
A handful of hyperscalers own the cloud and price it like a premium good — while billions of capable machines sit idle everywhere else.
Concentrated
Compute is consolidated in a few providers and regions. That's a lot of pricing power in very few hands.
Expensive
Centralized capacity carries centralized margins. Small teams, researchers, and emerging markets feel it most.
Wasteful
Meanwhile capable hardware sits idle in homes, offices, and computer shops — depreciating instead of earning.
How it works
Three steps from a dusty machine to dependable, fairly-priced capacity.
- 1
Providers plug in idle hardware
Install the agent on a PC, phone, or mini-PC. It dials outbound only — no ports to open, no static secrets on the device.
- 2
RYC connects it securely
Devices join an encrypted WireGuard overlay. Buyer traffic rides device-to-device over that overlay — never through our control plane.
- 3
Buyers rent cheap compute & proxies
Search the marketplace, pick a provider by transparent score and price, and get residential proxies or interruptible compute in minutes.
The control plane only ever sets desired state and brokers the match — it never carries customer traffic. That keeps the network cheap to scale and your data off our servers.
A marketplace with two happy sides
Idle hardware becomes income on one side and cheap capacity on the other.
Earn from hardware that would sit idle
- Turn spare PCs, phones, and shop fleets into passive income.
- Stay in control: bandwidth caps, schedules, and charging-only limits.
- Transparent earnings, metered at the gateway — paid out on what's actually used.
- Build reputation over time and unlock higher-value, higher-paying tiers.
Cheap, on-demand compute & residential IPs
- Residential proxies and interruptible compute at a fraction of hyperscaler prices.
- Choose providers by a transparent, published reputation score.
- Pay only for metered usage — egress is its own clear line item.
- Spin up in minutes; fall back to traditional cloud for critical work.
Built to be trusted, not just cheap
Distributed supply only works if the marketplace is honest. These are the mechanics that make it dependable.
Transparent pricing
Every price shows its build-up — base rate × provider class × a bounded demand multiplier. No hidden surge, no surprises.
Provider reputation
A published scoring model ranks providers on server-measured uptime, completion, and tenure — designed to be hard to game.
Metered, fair bandwidth
Egress is its own meter with per-tier caps and overage — never bundled into a flat price. It's cheap interruptible compute, not a CDN.
Tiered reliability
Pick the assurance you need — and pay accordingly.Best-effortCommittedVerified
We don't promise AWS-grade uptime. Best-effort capacity is interruptible by design. Our promise is affordability and access — and for workloads that can't tolerate interruption, traditional cloud remains your fallback.
A new layer of cloud, built from hardware that already exists
Every home, office, and computer shop is a latent micro–data center. RentYourCompute aggregates that distributed supply into dependable, fairly-priced capacity — part of the emerging DePIN movement turning real-world infrastructure into open markets. We're starting with residential proxies, the wedge with the clearest demand, and growing into general compute.
