Free app hosting

Free hosting for developer apps on HostKB Cloud — deploy from Git with builds, HTTPS, domains, and logs.

Hosting and deployments together

Host Node, Python, .NET, and more without managing servers yourself — HostKB covers hosting and deployments together.

Connect a Git repository, build your app (Dockerfile or Railpack), and deploy to a HTTPS URL. Start with free applications, then grow with app sizes as traffic increases.

  • Free apps to get started
  • Deploy from GitHub and other Git providers
  • Custom domains & automatic HTTPS / SSL
  • Real-time build and deployment logs
  • Continuous deploy with auto-deploy on push

Also free: PostgreSQL

Pair your free app with a free managed Postgres database on HostKB.

One free PostgreSQL database per account (1 GB), versions 16/17/18, with TLS connection strings for apps on HostKB and from outside. Platform-managed backups are not included on Free — use pg_dump if you need your own snapshots.
