Frequently asked questions

Is Hostim a Railway alternative for EU teams?

Yes. Hostim deploys Docker and Git apps in Germany with managed PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis. Railway runs primarily in US regions, while Hostim is EU-only — useful for teams with GDPR requirements.

How does Hostim pricing differ from Railway?

Hostim charges a flat monthly price per app (from €2.50/month) and includes free database tiers. Railway uses resource-based billing where CPU, memory and egress are metered separately, which makes monthly costs harder to predict.

Can I deploy a Docker Compose stack on Hostim?

Yes. Paste a Docker Compose YAML file and Hostim will create the matching apps, databases and volumes. You can also deploy from a Dockerfile or a Git repository.

Does Hostim support background workers and cron jobs?

Yes. You can run multiple apps in the same project — for example one web app and one worker pulling from the same Redis. Cron jobs are scheduled via a dedicated app type.

Where is Hostim hosted?

On bare-metal servers in Germany (Falkenstein). Hostim does not use AWS, GCP or Azure, so app data and database storage stay in the EU.
