For agencies
Agencies running multiple client Next.js apps need clean project isolation, predictable cost per client, and EU residency when client procurement asks. Hostim gives each client their own project namespace with their own apps, databases and volumes — no cross-contamination, no surprise consolidated bill.
# docker-compose.yml
services:
web:
image: my-nextjs-app
environment:
- NODE_ENV=production
- DATABASE_URL=postgres://...
db:
image: postgres:16A typical agency setup: 5 to 30 active client apps, varying stacks, varying client requirements. On most PaaS platforms this becomes a billing nightmare — one team, multiple tags, manual cost allocation. Hostim treats each project as a tenant: separate apps, separate databases, separate domains, separate billing line. When a client wants to take their stack in-house, you transfer the project. Next.js fits this cleanly because the deployment shape is consistent — push a Dockerfile, get a running app, attach managed PostgreSQL.
Agencies and freelancers who run several client apps in parallel and need a clean separation between them.
Each Hostim project is its own namespace with its own apps, databases, and volumes. You can hand a project to a client by transferring the account. Pricing is per-resource, easy to attribute to one client.
Next.js hosting today means running a Node.js process behind HTTPS, with a build step that produces static and server bundles. Most teams either run the standalone server output in Docker or use a platform-specific runtime. Hostim runs the standalone server in a normal Docker container, so you stay portable.
Push a Dockerfile or connect a Git repo. We build the image, attach a managed PostgreSQL, and serve traffic on a subdomain or your custom domain with automatic HTTPS. ISR and image optimization work because we run a real long-lived Node process — not a serverless function.
Two things often break on serverless platforms: long background jobs and large file uploads. Hostim avoids both by running stateful containers with persistent volumes for cache, uploads, and the .next directory.

One project per client. Each project has its own namespace (apps, databases, volumes are scoped). You can grant access to a client's account if they want visibility, or transfer the whole project to them when the engagement ends.
Each project shows its own resource usage. You pay one consolidated bill but can allocate cost per project from the dashboard.
Hostim runs the Next.js standalone server as a long-lived container, so the ISR cache survives deploys on a persistent volume. Image optimization works out of the box.
Yes. Each project supports unlimited custom domains with automatic HTTPS issuance and renewal.
