From git push to production in about a minute
Skip the Dockerfiles, Helm charts, and Terraform sprawl. Connect a repo and ship — we take care of builds, routing, TLS, and scaling in the background.
Connect your repo
Install the HostStack app on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Pick a branch — we detect your framework and build settings for you.
Push your code
Every commit builds inside a sandboxed European runner, passes health checks, and rolls out with zero downtime. Preview environments for every pull request.
Go live
You get an HTTPS URL, live logs, and metrics the moment the first container is healthy. Bring your own domain in one command — SSL is provisioned and renewed for you.
Stack
Ten runtimes, five databases, every framework you ship
Whatever your team prefers — Node, Bun, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, Elixir, PHP, .NET, or Java — HostStack detects it and builds it. No Dockerfile required.

FAQ
Questions we hear most often
Common questions about HostStack, EU data residency, pricing, and migration.
Is HostStack a proper Render or Heroku alternative?
Yes — the same git-push workflow, the same managed databases, the same auto-provisioned TLS. The differences are pricing (per-resource pay-as-you-go, not per-app plans), data residency (EU by default), and support (we answer tickets ourselves).
Is there a free tier?
Yes, and it does not expire. The free tier includes one always-available Nano web service (256 MB, auto-sleeps after 60 min idle and wakes on the next request), one Starter Postgres database, one cron job, and one preview environment per project. No credit card at signup.
Where exactly is my data stored?
You pick the region when you create a project. EU projects live in Nuremberg or Falkenstein (Germany) or Helsinki (Finland); we also offer Ashburn (US East) for customers with a US-first audience. EU residency is enforced at the infrastructure layer, not just promised in a tickbox.
How does pricing compare to Render and Railway?
Per-resource pay-as-you-go from €1/month for a Pico web service or €4/month for a Micro Postgres. There is no monthly plan fee — you pay only for the services, databases, and storage you actually run. Bandwidth is €0.01/GB after the included allowance, build minutes are €0.005/min after 500 free minutes per team.
Can I use my own domain?
Add any apex or wildcard domain from the dashboard. We verify DNS, provision a free Let's Encrypt certificate, and renew it for you. HSTS, HTTP/2, and TLS 1.3 are on by default.
Are deploys zero-downtime?
Yes — blue/green by default. A new revision boots beside the current one, passes health checks, and only then does Traefik switch traffic. Rollbacks are one click and take a few seconds.
Are you GDPR-compliant? What about the DPA?
We are GDPR-native, not GDPR-retrofitted. A Data Processing Agreement is attached to every account at signup — no legal back-and-forth. Sub-processors are listed publicly and limited to EEA-based providers for EU projects.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You keep full access until the end of your billing period. Daily database backups are kept for 7 days during the active life of the database, and you can export everything as JSON plus standard pg_dump / mysqldump / mongodump files from your settings at any time before cancellation.
Do you offer an SLA?
Yes — paid tiers have a contractual uptime SLA: 99.9% for Pico and Pro Standard, 99.95% for Pro Large and HA Postgres, and 99.99% on Enterprise. If we miss the target in a calendar month, you can request service credits of 10–50% of affected resource fees. Free-tier Nano services are best-effort. The full agreement is at /sla.
Can I migrate from Render, Railway, Heroku, or Fly.io?
Yes — same Docker-based model, same env-var conventions, same GitHub App flow. The CLI can import environment variables from a .env or a Render/Railway export. Step-by-step migration guides for each platform live in the docs.
