A Fly.io alternative on your own server

Fly.io runs apps on its own global network. If you need one region and want the server in your own account, a single Hetzner server can be simpler.

If you need multi-region edge deployment, a single server is not a like-for-like replacement. Check Fly.io’s current pricing on its site.

How CloudHostAI works

CloudHostAI deploys Git repositories to a server in your own Hetzner account. You connect a Hetzner API token. It provisions the server (default location Falkenstein, Germany, which you can change) and runs your app in Docker behind Caddy. Caddy issues a Let’s Encrypt certificate when you point a custom domain at the server. The platform fee is Free, Indie $19, Startup $39 or Team $99 per month. Hetzner bills the server to you separately (current plans, checked 2026-10-27).
