A Railway alternative with EU hosting

If you need your app hosted in the EU, you can choose an EU Hetzner location (Germany or Finland) for the server in your own account.

  1. Create a Hetzner Cloud account and API token.
  2. Pick an EU location for the server.
  3. Deploy from Git.
  4. Review data processing terms with Hetzner for your use case.

Hosting location is only one part of data-protection compliance.

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).
