The DIY Trap
You spin up a Postgres container in Docker Compose. It works great until you need backups, high availability, or need to resize the volume. Suddenly, you're managing storage drivers and cron jobs.
The "Stateful" Problem in Docker
Running databases in containers is easy for development, but hard for production.
The Hostim Solution
We treat databases as first-class citizens. You get a dedicated, managed database instance that lives outside your application container but connects seamlessly. Persistence, solved.
Production-Ready Databases
Don't just host your app code. Host your entire stack with fully managed data services.
PostgreSQL & MySQL
Provision a production-ready Postgres or MySQL database with a single click. Includes automatic daily backups, point-in-time recovery, and secure private networking.
Redis
Need caching or a message broker? Add a managed Redis instance to your project instantly. Perfect for session storage, queues, and real-time data.
Persistent Volumes
For file uploads and other static assets, attach persistent NVMe storage volumes to your Docker containers. Your data survives deployments and restarts.
European Hosting, Global Standards
GDPR Compliant by Default
All data, including your databases and volumes, is stored exclusively in our German data centers. We are fully GDPR compliant and never ship your data overseas.
Zero-Downtime Deployments
Deploy with confidence. Hostim.dev performs rolling updates, ensuring your application stays online while we switch over to the new container version.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the free tier include?
You can create free MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis databases, and persistent volumes. App containers start at €2.5/month. Each user gets one 5-day trial project with everything included – apps, DBs, volumes, metrics.
Can I deploy with just a Compose file?
Yes. Paste your Docker Compose YAML and we'll generate the services automatically. You can also deploy from a Dockerfile or Git repository (repo should have Dockerfile so our system can build the image).
Where is my app hosted?
On bare-metal servers located in Germany. We do not use AWS, GCP, or other large cloud providers – your data stays in the EU.
Do I need to know Kubernetes?
No. Hostim.dev removes Kubernetes complexity. You manage apps, databases, and resources – not clusters or YAML.
Is this for solo devs or teams?
Right now, each account manages projects individually. Multi-user roles and team collaboration are planned – we're actively listening to early users to shape this.
