HostingGuru
Deploy Goin minutes.
Push your Go project to GitHub and HostingGuru compiles it to a native binary, starts it, and routes traffic to it — all automatically. No Docker setup, no CI pipeline, no build scripts. Just fast cold starts and a production-ready binary from your go.mod project.
Steps
1. Connect your GitHub
Sign up and install the HostingGuru GitHub App. We'll list all your repositories — pick the one with your Go project.
2. We detect Go
HostingGuru identifies your Go project by the presence of go.mod in the repository root. We read the Go version from the module file, resolve dependencies via go.sum, and compile your application with CGO_ENABLED=0 for a statically linked binary. Multi-module workspaces and monorepo layouts are supported — just tell us which module to build.
3. Your app is live
Your compiled Go binary starts in milliseconds with near-zero memory overhead. Whether you're running a net/http server, a Gin API, or an Echo application, traffic is routed to the correct port automatically. The result is an extremely responsive production service with HTTPS, health checks, and automatic restarts on failure.
Go deployment, in the spirit of the language
go.mod is the source of truth
Your Go version is read from go.mod's go directive — pinned and reproducible. Modules resolve via GOPROXY (default proxy.golang.org); vendor/ directories are detected and used if present. go build runs with -trimpath -ldflags='-s -w' by default.
Tiny static binaries
Go produces a single static binary; we run it directly without a runtime in the way. Container images are stripped to the binary plus CA certs and timezone data — typically under 30 MB. Cold starts are measured in milliseconds, not seconds.
HTTP/2 and gRPC, no extra config
Standard net/http servers get HTTP/2 termination at the load balancer. gRPC servers (using google.golang.org/grpc) run as a TCP service — point clients at your service domain on port 443 and connections multiplex correctly.
Goroutine-friendly runtime
GOMAXPROCS is set to match your service's CPU allocation so the scheduler doesn't oversubscribe. GOMEMLIMIT is set to the available RAM so the GC tunes itself for the actual envelope, not the host machine's total memory.
Build caching that respects modules
Module downloads and compiled package cache (GOPATH/pkg/mod, GOCACHE) survive between deploys. Compiles that touch one package in a 200-package monorepo finish in seconds. Clean module updates re-cache from the proxy.
Free Go service, true 24/7
Goroutines stay running, channels stay open, your background reconciliation loop doesn't restart because the platform decided your traffic was too low. The Starter plan keeps your Go service warm and serving.

Key facts and common questions
Go hosting on HostingGuru is a managed Platform-as-a-Service that builds and runs your Go application directly from a GitHub repository, without you operating servers, container registries, or build pipelines.
What is the fastest way to deploy a Go app on HostingGuru?
Install the HostingGuru GitHub App on the repository, pick the branch, and click Deploy. HostingGuru detects go.mod, runs go mod download and go build -o app ./..., and runs the resulting native binary. The image stays small (typically <50 MB) and cold starts are sub-100 ms. The first deploy of a standard Go project finishes in about 2–4 minutes.
How long does a Go deployment take on HostingGuru?
A typical Go HTTP API compiles and deploys in 60–120 seconds. Module downloads are cached between deploys; subsequent builds with unchanged go.sum complete in 30–45 seconds.
Which Go versions does HostingGuru support?
HostingGuru supports Go 1.21, 1.22, 1.23, and 1.24. The version is read from the go directive in your go.mod, defaulting to the latest stable.
How much does it cost to deploy a Go app on HostingGuru?
The Starter plan is free for one always-on Go service. Hobby is $19/month for 3 services on shared infrastructure. Pro is $35/month for 10 services on a dedicated CX22 server. See pricing for the full plan matrix.
