HostingGuru
Launch your MVP.Scale when you're ready.
Your early-stage startup can't afford a DevOps hire — and doesn't need one. Deploy your MVP for free, iterate with auto-deploy from GitHub, and scale to dedicated infrastructure when you have paying customers. Predictable pricing at every stage.
Early-stage startups have bigger problems than infrastructure
Limited engineering resources
Your team is two or three developers building the core product. Nobody has time to set up CI/CD pipelines, configure load balancers, or manage server updates. Every hour on infrastructure is an hour not spent on product-market fit.
You can't afford a DevOps hire
A DevOps engineer costs $120k+ per year. At the pre-seed or seed stage, that money is better spent on product development. You need infrastructure that manages itself so your engineers can ship features.
You need to iterate fast on a budget
Speed is your only advantage over incumbents. But configuring servers from scratch every time you pivot or add a new service slows you down. And unpredictable cloud bills can blow through your runway.
How HostingGuru works for startups
Free tier to validate your MVP
Deploy your first service on the Starter plan — free forever. Custom domain, free SSL, auto-deploy from GitHub, and your app never sleeps. Validate your idea before spending a dollar on hosting.
Auto-deploy for rapid iteration
Push to GitHub and your app is live in minutes. No deployment scripts, no manual steps. Ship multiple times a day and get feedback from real users fast.
Team collaboration as you grow
Invite your co-founder, your first hire, and your contractors into the same workspace. Role-based access — owner, admin, developer, viewer — keeps permissions clean as the team scales.
Background workers for async processing
Need to process webhooks, send emails, or run scheduled jobs? Pro and Scale plans include background workers so you can handle async workloads without managing separate infrastructure.
Predictable pricing as you scale
No surprise bills at the end of the month. Every plan has a flat monthly price with clear service limits. You always know exactly what you're paying — from free tier to Scale at $70/month.
Dedicated resources when you need them
Outgrow shared infrastructure? Pro gives you a dedicated Hetzner CX22 server. Scale gives you CX32 with Grafana monitoring. No migration headaches — just upgrade your plan.
Plans that make sense for startups
Start free to validate your idea. Upgrade to Pro when you have paying customers and need dedicated resources.
Starter — Free forever
Validate your idea first. One service, custom domain, free SSL, auto-deploy from GitHub, and your app never sleeps. No credit card required — just connect your repo and ship.
Pro — $35/month
When you have paying customers and need reliability. Up to 10 services on a dedicated CX22 server, background workers for async processing, encrypted env vars, and team collaboration. The plan most startups grow into.
