Dreamland Metaverse has been ranked as the top OpenSim hosting provider every year we’ve surveyed our readers about grid hosting. See the 2016 results here, the 2015 results here, and 2014 results here. The company also received the highest scores in all the previous surveys going back to 2010, but since the number of respondents was lower, we didn’t publish detailed vendor results.

Other pricing options also available: for $45 a month, there’s a 24,000-prim region that can support up to 40 simultaneous visitors. And for $90 a month, there’s a 45,000-prim region that can support up to 80 simultaneous visitors. All regions run in their own instance of OpenSim for maximum stability and performance.

Private grid hosting also available.

The grid uses the in-world Kitely Credits currency, offers easy OAR exports and imports, Vivox voice, daily backups, advanced control panel with historic and real-time visitor tracking and more. Kitely is also the home of the Kitely Market, the biggest OpenSim marketplace, delivering to all hypergrid-enabled OpenSim grids and to several closed ones.

A free Kitely account is required to list items in Kitely Market, with free merchant sandboxes available to upload and create content.

“On-demand” means that regions run in the cloud, and are shut down when not in use. This might mean that there’s a small delay when teleporting into empty regions, since they have to be booted up first.
