Frequently asked questions
Is Hostim a Fly.io alternative for EU teams?
Yes. Hostim runs Docker and Git apps in Germany on bare-metal servers. Fly.io is a global anycast platform but bills per-second and lacks managed databases at the same level — Hostim ships with managed PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis.
How does Hostim pricing compare to Fly.io?
Hostim apps start at €2.50/month flat. Fly.io meters Machine runtime, RAM, bandwidth and storage separately, which makes costs unpredictable for steady workloads. Hostim is cheaper and easier to budget for always-on apps.
Does Hostim support Docker Compose?
Yes. Paste a Compose file and Hostim creates the apps, databases and volumes. Fly.io has no Compose import — each process is defined in a fly.toml file.
Does Hostim offer a managed Postgres like Fly Postgres?
Yes, and it is fully managed. Hostim runs PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis as managed services with backups. Fly Postgres is a managed app that you operate yourself.
Is Hostim GDPR compliant?
Yes. All workloads run in Germany on bare-metal servers with no US cloud dependency.
