VPS for Coolify
Coolify is the open-source alternative to Vercel, Heroku, Netlify, and Railway. On a RespawnHost VPS you run your own deployment platform: connect a repository, let it build containers, and point your domains at it. The hardware is yours, and so is the data.
What is Coolify?
Coolify connects your Git repository to your server. On every push it builds the application inside a Docker container and serves it on your domain, including a Let's Encrypt certificate. Databases, workers, and other services come from a template catalog. Instead of paying per project and user for a managed platform, everything runs on a VPS you control.

How a Coolify deployment works
Four steps from Git push to live URL. Coolify handles them on your VPS.
git push
Connect a repository
Link GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, or Bitbucket and pick a branch. Every push starts a deployment, and you can trigger one manually as well.
docker build
Build in a container
Coolify builds with Nixpacks, a Dockerfile, or Docker Compose. Nixpacks detects runtimes like Node, PHP, Python, and Go without configuration.
traefik + ssl
Traefik and SSL
Traefik routes traffic to the container and fetches the Let's Encrypt certificate for your domain. You add domains and subdomains in the dashboard.
live
Live and maintainable
The app runs on your URL. Logs, deployments, rollbacks, and notifications all live in the dashboard, and updates are applied from there.

Ping measured from each regional test server to your internet connection. In-game ping may differ. An unavailable result can mean the connection is blocked or the test server cannot be reached.
What your Coolify VPS includes
Docker included
The official install script sets up Docker Engine and Docker Compose. A fresh Ubuntu or Debian VPS with root access is all you need.
One-click services
PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, WordPress, Ghost, n8n, and many more start from the template catalog, no hand-written Compose file required.
Backups to S3
Schedule database and volume backups to S3-compatible storage. Object storage or your own server, the target is up to you.
Full root access
SSH, your own containers, firewall rules, monitoring, and extra services are all open to you. No lock-in, no imposed limits.
Frankfurt location
EU-central data center, 10 Gbit/s uplink, and Premium Gaming DDoS protection. Short paths to users across Europe.
Git deployments
Deploy automatically on every push, via webhook or manually. Rolling back to an earlier deployment takes one click.
Automatic SSL
Let's Encrypt included. Coolify issues and renews certificates through Traefik for every domain and subdomain you add.
Notifications
Discord, Telegram, Slack, or email: you hear about failed deployments and misbehaving containers while there is still time to react.
AMD Ryzen and NVMe
Builds and databases benefit from Ryzen cores clocked above 5 GHz and NVMe Gen4 SSDs reading at 7,300 MB/s.
Which VPS fits Coolify?
Coolify itself needs little: 2 CPU cores, 2 GB RAM, and 10 GB disk. Your applications decide the rest. These reference points make the choice easier.
Prices come from our plans and are billed monthly, cancelable at any time. Coolify itself names 2 cores, 2 GB RAM, and 10 GB disk as the minimum. More helps once builds and applications share the same server.
What Coolify on a VPS is good for
Your own PaaS instead of Vercel & co.
Deploy web apps, APIs, and static sites without paying per project and user. Once a few projects are running, the fixed costs drop noticeably.
Agency and client projects
Several projects on one server, separate environments, and dedicated access for team and clients. Staging can run right next to production.
Self-hosted services
n8n, Uptime Kuma, Umami, Ghost, or a wiki: many services are available as templates and receive updates from one place.
Existing Docker setups
Docker Compose files and Dockerfiles move in without rework. Monorepos and multiple services per project are supported.
Databases and workers
PostgreSQL, Redis, and MariaDB run on the same private network as your apps. Backups can be scheduled.
Test and preview environments
Separate domains per branch or environment: review changes before they reach production.
