A small coin. A big dream.

1,000 Pennies.
A Growing Community.
One Big Goal.

I'm Dave. I'm building Coduvo to help small businesses, startups, and nonprofits get affordable websites and hosting. My goal is 1,000 active hosting accounts and a business that gives me the freedom to do more for my community and help others.

I'm building a business of my own, one penny at a time. I'd love to help you build yours, too.

What does a penny mean for your business?

The first business story is still to come.

Dave's two glass penny jars on launch day: the left jar filled with pennies, the right jar empty and ready for the first business.
Day one. Two jars. One big goal.
One business.One penny.One story at a time.

01 / The challenge

These aren't just
numbers on a screen.

One penny. One relationship.

A small reminder of
someone's trust.

Each penny in the second jar represents an active hosting account and a business I'm here to support.

I wanted a simple way to see my progress every day when I walk into my office. Two jars and 1,000 pennies give me that reminder, and moving a penny gives me a small moment of accomplishment along the way.

  1. 01

    I started with 1,000 pennies.

    Every penny began in the first jar. Together, they make a big goal something I can see and work toward a little at a time.

  2. 02

    A penny moves. A relationship begins.

    When a qualifying paid hosting account becomes active, I move a penny into the second jar. Someone has trusted me to help with something they're building.

  3. 03

    Every penny has a number.

    Every qualifying account receives a permanent Penny Number. Businesses that opt into a public listing also get a page where visitors can discover their story and website.

  4. 04

    Someday, the last penny.

    When all 1,000 have moved, Coduvo has reached 1,000 active qualifying hosting accounts. I look forward to that moment and all the small accomplishments that lead to it.

If a customer leaves, a penny moves back. Their number stays assigned to them, ready if they return.

Small businesses, startups, nonprofits, and the people behind them. Each has something they're working toward. Explore the public pennies and get to know the stories we're becoming part of together.

03 / A note from me

Hi, I'm Dave.

For almost 25 years, I've worked for a company I love, with a boss who has been wonderful to me and my family. Our children grew up together, and now we have grandchildren. With his blessing, I'm taking on a personal challenge: seeing what I can build through Coduvo.

I want to use my experience to help small businesses, startups, and nonprofits get the website and technical help they need at a price they can afford. I'll start by learning about your business and your goals. Then we can figure out what makes sense for your website and your budget.

My goal is to grow Coduvo to 1,000 active hosting accounts. I want to build something of my own that gives me the freedom to do more for my community and help others.

To keep myself motivated, I'm using two jars and 1,000 pennies in my office. Each new active hosting account means I get to move a penny from one jar to the other. It's a simple way to see my progress and appreciate each small accomplishment.

Every penny represents someone who has trusted me to help with something they're building. They have goals of their own, and I get to play a part in helping them move forward.

Someday, I hope to move that last penny. Along the way, I want to build a business I'm proud of and relationships that last.

Let's see what happens.

Coduvo website and hosting services

What we don’t build or host.

We review each website’s purpose, content, and data requirements before accepting a project. These restrictions apply to website builds and managed hosting.

Excluded site categories

Adult-content businesses and sites focused on sex or sexual health; sites primarily devoted to political, social, or religious advocacy; gambling; weapons sales; cryptocurrency; and high-risk financial promotions.

Sensitive data collection

We don’t host collection or storage of protected health information, other sensitive patient records, or regulated financial data. Payment-card details must go directly to an approved third-party processor without passing through our servers.

Illegal or abusive activity

Illegal products or services, fraud, malware, phishing, stolen credentials, spam, copyright or trademark infringement, exploitation, or activity that threatens people or systems.

Informational healthcare sites and service-focused nonprofits can still qualify.

A dentist’s or chiropractor’s information site can qualify if it meets the content restrictions and does not collect patient data through our hosting. A nonprofit such as a food bank can qualify when its main purpose is delivering services, even if it also does incidental advocacy. Faith-based service organizations can qualify when their website’s main purpose is providing services rather than advocacy.
