Frequently Asked Questions

What does the free tier include?

The free tier is incredibly generous and perfect for getting started! It includes a 5-day full-featured trial project with no credit card required. Beyond the trial, core services like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and persistent volumes have permanently free tiers with reasonable usage limits.

Can I deploy with just a Docker Compose file?

Absolutely, and it's a first-class citizen here! You can directly paste your existing docker-compose.yml file into Hostim.dev, and it will deploy your multi-service application exactly as defined. There's no need to rewrite or adapt your configuration for a proprietary platform. This makes migration from local development or other environments seamless and instant!

Where is my app hosted?

All applications are hosted securely in Germany on high-performance bare-metal servers! This provides excellent speed and reliability for European users.

The platform uses Kubernetes under the hood to deliver robustness and isolation, but you never have to interact with it, write YAML, or understand its concepts. You manage everything through a simple, intuitive UI designed for developers. We handle all the complex infrastructure and DevOps so you can focus purely on your code.

Hostim.dev believes in simple, predictable pricing you can actually understand! Application hosting starts from just €2.5 per month.
