We would request that applicants have a server with a minimum spec of 4 × CPU cores, and 16GB of Ram. You should also be willing to give us full root access to the server so that we can get our installation of Aegir talking to your server.

The server should be opened to the world on port 80, and be accessible from quartz.nhm.ac.uk on port 22.

The server should use Debian or Ubuntu, purely to keep things simple for us. If you would like to use a different OS, then please let us know, and we'll check that everything is compatible (We currently have 2 × Debian servers, and 1 × Centos server being managed by our Aegir instance).
