Laravel, Node.js, Python, PHP and WordPress, with databases, domains and SSL built in. Save a card, and pay only for what your apps use.
Every service in the project with its live status, this month's cost and the latest backups.
Every app runs in its own sandbox, with its own limits and its own private network, so a busy or broken app next door can't slow yours down or reach your data.
Counted every minute, and paid by your saved card when it reaches your line or at the end of the month. No plans to choose, and sleeping apps pay for storage only.
Issued as soon as your domain points to us, and renewed by itself before it expires.
5 days a week, kept 10 days on separate storage. Our servers can add backups there, but can't delete them.
Connect a GitHub repository or upload a ZIP. We recognise Laravel, Symfony, Next.js, Django, FastAPI, WordPress and more, and build it for you.
A MySQL, PostgreSQL or Valkey database in one click. Its connection details go into your app's variables, under the names your framework expects.
Your app gets a free address with SSL straight away. Point your own domain at it, and its certificate follows within a minute.
Your PHP 8.0 shop and your neighbour's PHP 8.5 app run on the same platform, each in its own sandbox. We read your code, find the framework, and build it the way it expects.
Something special to install? Add a small settings file to your code with the versions, packages and commands you need.
We count the memory and processor time your apps really use, minute by minute, and your saved card pays for it. There are no plans: set each app's limits, and apps that sleep pay for storage only.
Pay by card: Visa, Mastercard or American Express, or with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Payments are handled by Stripe.
$0.0082 per GB an hour
$0.0164 per processor an hour
A small Laravel shop typically uses 200 to 500 MB and about a tenth of a processor.
Quiet apps can sleep when nobody visits, and wake in a second or two.
Estimated each month
$4.26
About $0.14 a day
Set a memory and processor limit on each app, so a busy day never costs more than you expect. Limits cost nothing.

On a shared platform, assume every app will be attacked one day. So an attacker has to get through four walls to reach your data, and the first one stops almost everything.
Hard limits on memory, processor and processes, and a private network of its own.
The servers your apps run on have no public ports at all. Visitors only ever reach the front door.
A web firewall, bot blocking and rate limits stop attacks before your code sees them.
Every action in your account is logged, and backups are locked against deletion.
We check your DNS live and issue SSL the moment it's ready. Connect it whichever way suits you.
We copy your existing records first, so your email keeps working, then look after every record for you.
If your DNS is at Cloudflare, approve access on Cloudflare's own page, for DNS only. We manage the records there.
Keep your DNS where it is. We show the two records to add, then check for them every minute.

Every service in a project runs in the same location, side by side, so your app and its database talk in under a millisecond.
We open new locations wherever we add servers.
Ask why your site is slow or broken. Sali, our AI assistant, reads your logs and numbers, explains the cause in plain words, and changes nothing until you click.
Why is duka.co.tz showing an error?
Your latest deployment expects an orders table that doesn't exist yet: the migration create_orders_table hasn't run on your live database.
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146
Table 'duka.orders' doesn't exist
Nothing changes until you click.
Sali is an AI assistant, and can be wrong. Its answers come from an outside AI service, under our privacy policy. Your passwords and secrets are never sent to it.
Bring the full backup your cPanel makes, from any host. Your sites, databases, mailboxes with their passwords, DNS records and cron jobs arrive here, free, and you switch each domain when you're ready. We only read the file: your old host isn't touched.
