Applications · Git deploy

Push to your repo.
We build and deploy.

Connect your GitHub repository – every push triggers a deployment: Fetch → Build → Publish → Activate. You never configure a build pipeline, you never manage infrastructure.

  • Auto-detect for every stack

    Laravel, Symfony, Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, SvelteKit and Vite – detected and built automatically.

  • Environments & rollback

    Production, staging and preview with their own branch mapping. Roll back and promote with one click.

  • Laravel presets

    Octane, Horizon, Reverb, Pulse and Inertia SSR – ready-made instead of hand-rolled.

  • Workers, cron jobs & scheduler

    Run as daemons alongside the app – CPU and RAM freely selectable per process.

Spaces & 1-Click installs

Prefer it classic?
Web hosting with SSH.

Not every project needs a build pipeline. Spaces are container-based web hosting with guaranteed resources – as familiar as classic hosting, scalable while running.

  • SSH & SFTP included

    Direct access with pre-installed tools: wp-cli, Composer, npm and Git.

  • PHP 8.0–8.5, your choice

    PHP version and options per Space – fully managed and kept up to date.

  • 1-Click installs

    WordPress, Shopware, Statamic, Matomo, Drupal, Joomla, Grav or LimeSurvey – with database and SSL.

  • Cron jobs & backups

    Set up recurring tasks right in the interface, automatic backups included.

Container Hosting

Your own images,
complete stacks.

Bring any OCI image – from public or private registries. A container deployment combines boot, runtime and cron-job containers into one stack.

  • Templates instead of YAML

    Parametrizable templates instead of long config files – export, import, clone.

  • Private registries

    Your own images from any registry, credentials stored securely.

  • Web terminal

    Access running containers directly in the browser – without SSH or VPN.

  • One-click rollouts

    Roll out new versions and follow status and logs live.

Databases · Caches · Searches · Buckets

Data, cache, search,
storage – managed.

Four managed data services, attached directly to your apps via service bindings – credentials land automatically as environment variables. Backups and scaling through performance levels are included.

  • Databases

    Managed MariaDB (10.11 / 11.3, MySQL-compatible) and PostgreSQL – with multiple users, phpMyAdmin and automatic backups.

  • Caches

    Redis, Valkey or Memcached – for sessions, queues, fragments and rate limits.

  • Searches

    Meilisearch full-text search with typo tolerance and instant results.

  • Buckets

    Object storage for files, media and backups – flexibly connected, S3-compatible.

Domains · DNS · Routes

Domains, DNS, routing –
one chain.

From registration to the TLS certificate, everything interlocks: domains, DNS zones and routes – no external services, no manual certificates.

  • 200+ domain extensions

    Register or transfer – managed in the same interface as your applications.

  • Cloud DNS included

    All common record types: A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, CAA and more.

  • Automatic wildcard TLS

    Routes connect a domain, subdomain or path to an app, Space or container – certificate included.

  • Access control

    IP whitelist or HTTP basic auth – toggled per route.
