NodETH is currently in public beta. During this time all nodes are 100% free. Give the service a go and let us know what you think!

Most of the time when you interact with the Ethereum blockchain you’re probably connecting into the live main network, the test network, or developing locally using testrpc.

But what if you want to hold the keys to your own Ethereum kingdom? Be miner numero uno? Have an unspoilt blockchain all to yourself? Ethereum is just a standard, and given a genesis block you too can use the same standard to start your own private network for your development, business or tyrannical needs.

There are some great guides on how to achieve this manually using go-ethereum (geth). But with geth constantly in a state of development we’ve found resources rarely keep up with reality. The manual labour to configure your private network and add new nodes as needed can also be a pain. That’s why we made NodETH — an easy to use cloud based Ethereum node deployment interface.

Time’s ticking. Cut to it. How do I create my private network?
