Put your hobby project online for €9 a month
15 October 2026· 4 min read · by Aaradhya
You spent a weekend building something with Lovable, Bolt or Claude Code. A recipe app for your running club. A booking page for your pottery classes. A tracker for your houseplants. It works in the builder’s preview, and your friends said “put it online.”
So you searched “how to host my app” and hit a wall of words: Docker, reverse proxy, CI/CD, SSL. You closed the tab.
You don’t need any of that. You need the app online, at an address you can share, and you need it to stay there. That’s the whole job of our Hobby plan. It costs €9 a month.
What “online” actually takes
Three things, in plain language:
- A computer that stays on. Your laptop sleeps. A preview link lives inside the builder. Your app needs a server that runs all day.
- An address. Something like
pottery-bookings.com, with the padlock in the browser bar so nobody gets a scary warning. - A way to update it. When you change something, the new version should go live without you copying files around.
That’s it. Everything else is detail we handle.
What €9 a month gets you
- Push to GitHub, it deploys. Connect your repo once. Every time you push a change, we build it and put it live.
- We figure out how to build it. We recognise Next.js, Vite, Express, FastAPI and Django projects. If you have a Dockerfile, we use that.
- Bad builds never go live. The new version only takes over once it passes a health check. If it fails, your old version keeps running.
- One-click rollback. Broke something? Go back to the last working version from the dashboard.
- HTTPS and your own domain. You get a free address to start. Add your own domain whenever you like, and the padlock is set up and renewed for you.
- Servers in Germany. Your app runs in the EU.
- A flat price. €9, every month, no matter how many people visit. No usage bill.
What it doesn’t include
We’d rather tell you now than have you find out later.
- Your database. Hobby runs your app, not your data. If you built with Lovable or Bolt, your data probably already lives in Supabase, and it stays there. Your app on our servers talks to it the same way it did before.
- Fast human support. You can email us and a person reads it, but there’s no response-time promise. That’s how the price stays at €9.
If either of those matters to you, look at the next section.
When to move up
Launch, €19 a month. Same setup, plus a human who answers within 4 business hours on weekdays. Pick this when people other than you depend on the app, and a day of it being broken would actually hurt someone.
Growth, €59 a month. We set up a Postgres database for you and back it up automatically, with restores we actually test. Pick this when your app holds data you can’t afford to lose, like bookings, orders or anything people paid for.
A good rule: if the app is for you and people you know, Hobby is plenty. If strangers rely on it, Launch. If money touches it, Growth.
How to get started
- Get your code onto GitHub. Most AI builders have a “Connect to GitHub” button. Click it.
- Sign up and pick your repo. It takes a few minutes.
- Wait for the first build. You’ll see it go green in the dashboard, with a link you can open straight away.
If we can’t tell how to build your project, we say so instead of guessing.
“Can’t I just use a free tier?”
For some apps, yes. A plain static site with no backend is happy on plenty of free hosts.
The trouble starts when your app has a server part. Some free tiers put it to sleep after a few quiet minutes, so the next visitor waits up to a minute for it to wake. Some pause a whole project after a quiet week. Others are free right up until a busy day sends you a bill.
€9 is the price of an app that stays awake and a bill that never surprises you.
Start for €9, or compare all plans first.
