About Us - Why We Founded BaoHost

Who we are and how we operate

We get these questions quite often: Why was BaoHost created? How do you earn? Why do you do it?

First, a little backstory on us. We sell private SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions for profit, and we use a percentage of those profits to directly fund and support BaoHost.

When starting out, there were no major business plans, or developments with intricate strategies. A deep love for the community and a burning passion for the game was all we had.

The state of the community

In fact, the Western Minecraft communities create a massive amount of creative, original, and inspiring content. Yet, this was the opposite in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

As a community member who grew up watching East Asian (Taiwanese specifically) YouTubers it has become rather disheartening to note just how much more terrible the content of new Minecraft creators has become in recent years. Their ideas no longer centre around creation or community. Instead, they are blinded by traffic metrics and prioritise views from young children and quick cash over quality content.

Even worse, if one stands up and points this out on social media, they are often criticized, with offenders believing that their behaviour is justified.

Our Mission

This decline in quality and passion is exactly why we entered the scene.

We hope that through whatever little efforts and resources that we put in through BaoHost will re-inspire the community. We want to provide the tools and platforms necessary to encourage the community to build, innovate, and create truly creative and original content once again.
