Docker Hosting for Backend Apps

Deploy flow: git push to live HTTPS on Clouderized

You bring a Dockerized app. Clouderized handles the runtime pieces that usually turn a simple deploy into server work. This is docker hosting for backend apps that need a predictable deploy path, not a custom VPS checklist.

1

Push code

Push to your Clouderized repo or mirror from your existing GitHub/GitLab workflow.

2

CI builds

Gitea Actions builds the Docker image away from the runtime path.

3

Container runs

Resource limits, restarts, and app lifecycle are handled by the platform.

4

HTTPS routes

Traefik handles routing and HTTPS so you do not wire certificates by hand.

5

You iterate

Push again when ready. The container rebuilds and the live app updates.

Who this is for

Clouderized is built for backend-heavy applications that do not fit neatly into static hosting or edge-function platforms.

Flask and FastAPI

Python APIs, internal tools, and small services that need predictable hosting.

Node and Rails

Backend apps with real runtime processes, database connections, and file storage.

Go services

Small binaries, APIs, webhooks, and long-running backend workers.

Java and Scala

JVM workloads that need always-on Pro containers and enough memory to stay warm.

Docker hosting for Java apps

Why use Clouderized for Docker hosting?

The goal is not to replace every cloud primitive. It is to make common backend deployments boring.

Flat pricing

Choose a monthly plan instead of guessing how usage meters will translate into a bill.

Managed databases

Run MariaDB or PostgreSQL inside the same Starter or Pro resource pool, without turning a simple app into a full VPS operations project.

Docker hosting with PostgreSQL included in your app resource pool

Persistent storage

Use durable storage for uploads, generated files, and app data that should survive redeploys.

WebSockets and long-running processes

Run backend patterns that become awkward on frontend-first or serverless platforms.

Always-on Pro

Keep JVM, worker, and API containers warm when cold starts are not acceptable.

Safer defaults

SMTP is blocked, egress is filtered, and base images are allowlisted for shared-host safety.

Docker hosting options compared

Need	VPS	Serverless or frontend-first host	Clouderized
Run a Dockerized backend	You configure everything	Often framework-dependent	Dockerfile-based deploys
Predictable monthly cost	Predictable, but self-managed	Usage meters can be hard to estimate	Flat Starter and Pro plans
Database and storage	Manual setup and backups	Usually external services	Managed MariaDB/PostgreSQL inside the same resource pool
Always-on backend process	Yes, if you operate it	Depends on platform limits	Pro containers are always on

Simple Docker hosting pricing

Starter

For small backend apps that can sleep when idle.

S$5/mo

Resource pool: app and database workloads share included capacity

512 MB RAM, 0.5 vCPU
4 GB app storage
Sleeps when idle, wakes automatically
Good for Go, Node, Python, Ruby, static Nginx
Can fit a lightweight app plus lightweight MariaDB/MySQL

Try Starter

Always-on

Pro

For JVM apps, APIs, and workloads that should stay warm.

S$15/mo

Larger resource pool for always-on apps and databases

2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU
16 GB app storage
Always on, no idle sleep
Required for Java and Scala workloads
Better fit for app plus PostgreSQL workloads

Try Pro

MariaDB and PostgreSQL are included inside your Starter or Pro resource pool. PostgreSQL plus an app usually needs 2 Starter units or Pro capacity. See Docker hosting with PostgreSQL.

Docker hosting FAQ

What is Docker hosting?

Docker hosting runs an application from a Dockerfile or container image and handles the runtime, HTTPS routing, restarts, logs, and resource limits so you do not have to manage a server directly.

Can I host a Flask, FastAPI, Node, Rails, Go, Java, or Scala app?

Yes. Clouderized supports Python, Node.js, Ruby, Go, Java, Scala, and static Nginx apps using approved Docker base images.

Can I use PostgreSQL or MariaDB with a Docker app?

Yes. Clouderized supports MariaDB and PostgreSQL for backend applications that need a relational database. Databases consume the same Starter or Pro resource pool as your apps.

Do containers sleep?

Starter containers sleep when idle and wake automatically. Pro containers are always on for workloads that cannot tolerate cold starts.

Is this different from VPS hosting?

Yes. A VPS gives you a server to operate. Clouderized gives you a Docker app runtime with HTTPS routing, CI builds, resource limits, and managed database options handled by the platform.
