About Qvantor

Who runs Qvantor, what the blog covers, how articles are researched and checked, and how to reach the people who write them.

About this blog

Qvantor is a blog, and the line under the logo, Infrastructure, explained plainly, is the whole editorial brief. New articles go up when they are ready, and everything we have published stays available in the blog archive.

Qvantor exists for one reason. Most pages about Developer tools, email infrastructure and self hosting are written to sell something, and very few are written by people who will still be here to answer for what they published.

What we do not do

We are not the right place for advice tailored to your exact situation. Qvantor publishes general guidance, and the difference matters more than it sounds.

The people

There is no house byline here. Each piece is signed, and each signature leads to everything else that person has put their name to.

Ilkka Varis, Infrastructure editor. Ilkka has run mail servers for small companies since the days of hand edited DNS zones.

Marisa Quan, Games and networks writer. Marisa hosts game servers for her friends and writes about latency, uptime and the people who keep servers alive.

Obi Nwachukwu, Security writer. Obi works on account security and explains phishing, passwords and access in plain terms.

What is filed here

  • Games. Video games and gaming, seen from the servers, networks and tools that keep them running.
  • Email Infrastructure. SMTP, DNS records and deliverability, explained without the vendor pitch.
  • Self Hosting. Running your own services at home or on a small server.
  • Dev Tools. Tools and workflows that make shipping software calmer.
  • Security. Practical account and server security for small teams.
  • Guides. Step by step walkthroughs for common setups.

Each piece sits under exactly one heading. Readers arriving from search mostly land in games, email infrastructure and self hosting, so those sections get looked after first.

How this is put together

Each article answers one question about Developer tools, email infrastructure and self hosting and then stops. Padding a page to look thorough is the easiest way to waste a reader's afternoon.

Nobody has editorial input except the people whose names are on the articles. That includes anyone who has ever sent us money.

The full process, including corrections and commercial links, is set out on the editorial policy page.

How this is paid for

The site pays for itself through a small number of outbound links. It has never been enough to change what gets written, and the day it is, we will say so here.

Corrections

Point at the sentence. Write to info@qvantor.space or use the contact page. Factual errors are fixed quickly, and when a correction changes the conclusion of a piece we say so at the foot of the page rather than editing quietly.
