What is HostKB Cloud?
HostKB Cloud is a free hosting and deployment platform that builds and deploys your apps from Git — so you can ship without managing servers.
Built for shipping from Git
Connect a repository and go from code to a live HTTPS URL.
Create a project, add an application, connect GitHub (or another supported Git provider), then build and deploy from the dashboard. Optional auto-deploy on push keeps production in sync with your branch.
HostKB runs your app in containers, issues TLS certificates, and keeps release history so you can focus on your code.
What you can do
- Deploy from GitHub with builds and release history
- Attach custom domains with automatic HTTPS
- Configure environment variables and secrets
- Stream real-time build and deploy logs
- Adjust app CPU and memory sizes as you grow
Who it is for
Developers and small teams who want Git → production without running their own servers, load balancers, or certificate setup for every app.
Start with the getting started guide, try a sample app, or contact support if you have questions.
