Server infrastructure, handled
Deploy web services, databases, and cron jobs on sovereign EU infrastructure. Git push, we build and run.
- Data stays in Germany & Finland
- Daily database backups, 30-day retention
- EU VAT invoices, no egress fees
Real-time platform activity
Deploys, scaling, and monitoring — streamed live across the fleet.
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.
One platform, every primitive a modern app needs
Web services, background workers, cron jobs, managed databases, object storage, search, queues, and transactional email — all wired together, all running on European hardware.
Git-driven deploys
- Auto-deploy from any branch on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket — with preview environments on every pull request
- Blue/green rollouts, health-gated traffic switches, one-click rollbacks
- Framework auto-detection for Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, Django, Rails, Laravel, and a dozen more
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.

Infrastructure & Frameworks
Teams across Europe run their product on HostStack
From a first commit to a seven-figure SaaS — the same workflow, the same invoice, the same EU data residency.
Founders
Get your MVP in front of users today, not next sprint. Start free, upgrade the moment you have paying customers.
Agencies & studios
Per-client team workspaces, role-based access, and a single invoice. Hand off projects cleanly or keep them under your account.
Indie builders
A free tier that actually fits a side project, and prices that do not punish you for succeeding. Scale up in one click when traffic arrives.
Plays nicely with the tools you already use
Uptime commitment
Blue/green rollouts, health-gated traffic switches, automatic container restarts, and credited SLAs on Team plans and above.
Human support from Denmark
Not an offshore ticket queue. Real engineers on call — the same people who build the platform.
EU by default
Data processed and stored in Germany or Finland. DPA signed automatically at signup. No surprise sub-processors outside the EEA.

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 (flat, not per-service), data residency (EU by default), and hiring (we answer support tickets ourselves).
Is there a free tier?
Yes, and it does not expire. The Hobby plan includes one web service, one managed database, one queue, and one search instance at 512 MB RAM each. 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 (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?
Starter is €5/month for three services plus a database, a queue, and a search instance — roughly what Render bills for a single Standard service. Railway is usage-based; we are flat, so your invoice does not swing with traffic spikes.
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. After that, backups are retained for 30 days and then permanently deleted. You can export everything as JSON plus standard pg_dump / mysqldump / mongodump files from your settings at any time.
Do you offer an SLA?
99.9% monthly uptime on Team plans and above, with automatic service credits applied to the next invoice if we miss it. Our public status page tracks every region in real time.
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.
