Choose from the many supplied images and within no time you have your site online. Don’t worry about installation, configuration, and maintenance of your server – that’s taken care of!
Suddenly more visitors or requests? Running a flash sale and don’t want your website to go down? Containers can be scaled up with one click, both horizontally and vertically and without downtime. We are ready for your success.
In comparison with a VM/VPS, Docker containers are lightweight and therefore start up much faster and have a higher performance. In this isolated environment, perfect for a growing website.
A VPS or dedicated server can only be scaled vertically by switching to a larger package with more resources. Because a reboot is necessary most of the time, there is downtime involved. Downgrading is often not possible due to the limitations of the technology.
With a VPS or Dedicated server, your costs are statically set month after month. Which is great, unless your website doesn’t use them constantly. You could be wasting your money for a time during the month when your website doesn’t need all of those resources.
Containers can be scaled both vertically and horizontally: you can make the containers larger or smaller. You can also duplicate a front-end container to load balance the load between them. There is no downtime during scaling either horizontally or vertically.
Containers are billed for consumption every month. Every minute we look at how many and which containers you have created, and at the end of the month you pay the average consumption. This way the cost is based on what you use during the month. If you have a slow week scale the container down to save money. If you have large traffic just scale up or create a second container to load balance the traffic.
SSH & SFTP Access
Each container is created with an SSH and SFTP login. In addition, phpMyAdmin is available for managing databases.
SSH & SFTP Access
You can link one or more domain names via the dashboard. The load balancer directs the traffic to the right containers. You get a generated domain name automatically for staging purposes.
Free SSL Certificates
Thanks to our Let’s Encrypt integration, you can generate SSL certificates for free. In addition, you can also upload your own certificates.
API Access
In addition to our dashboard, you can also create, scale up and manage containers automatically via our API.
Backups
All containers are replicated to other nodes so you have direct failover in case of a node problem. We’re going
to launch on-demand snapshots in the near future!
Own Docker Images
In addition to our images, you can also use your own Docker images with us. You can place these images on Docker Hub or on our container registry.
10 GB of disk space included
Do you need more? You can use up to 50 GB of disk space per container $0.30 per GB per month.
1 TB of data traffic included
If you consume more, this will be billed for consumption afterward and the costs are $0.12 per GB per month.
Where is this service located?
All of our services are located in Chicago, IL in the New Continuum Data Center.
Can I use my own Docker Registry?
Yes! We have a container registry option that you can enable. That way you can easily push/pull container configurations.
What if you do not have a container I want?
We have a simple way to add containers using Docker Hub! Any image in Docker Hub you can pull into our system in only a few clicks.
What are the "catches" or drawbacks?
Good question! The 2 drawbacks we get questions are is: There is no PHPMail enabled. You must use an SMTP service such as SendGrid. There are no Email boxes. Since this is an App Cloud only Apps are enabled!
Is this service Kubernetes based?
It is not! We run our own Docker Orchestration. We have more flexibility this way and can offer a better service than a docker installation on a VM.
Do I have to pay extra for the Load Balancer or Replication?
Absolutely not! Our system is designed to support load balancing with no extra cost. If you scale a container the load balancer will detect that and start balancing traffic between the two!
