FeaturesBuilt in to every account
Security, backups, updates and billing that look after themselves. Each one links to the details.
- Security
A firewall for every app
Limit who can reach an app to the IP addresses you choose. It is off by default, so nothing changes until you switch it on.
- "Add my IP" in one click
- "Allow Cloudflare" and "Cloudflare only" modes
- Covers the app's address, your custom domain and its direct port
- Backups
Back up to your own S3
Keep a second, encrypted copy in a bucket you own, on top of our included daily backups.
- AWS S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi and other S3-compatible storage
- Scheduled, or "Back up now"
- One-click restore, plus a recovery kit to restore it yourself
- Updates
Automatic updates for every app
Each update is tested on a copy first, and a backup is taken before it is applied.
- Automatic rollback if the updated app fails its checks
- An "Update now" button when you want it sooner
- A notice ticket when a security update is available

SynapseHow it worksLive in three steps
No Docker, no DNS spelunking, no 2am patching. That is the product.
Pick an app
Choose from a curated catalog of the open-source apps businesses actually replace SaaS with. Every app is tested on our platform before it is listed.
Pick a region and size
Sydney, the US or Poland. Choose a plan from $1.50/mo. You can resize later in a couple of clicks.
It's live
Your app is running on its own HTTPS address within minutes, with daily backups, monitoring and support already switched on.
The panelThe panel is the product
Hosting is a means to an end. The panel is where the promises get kept: restores you run yourself, resizes billed to the hour, logs you can actually read.
- Restore any daily backup in one click
- Back up to your own S3 storage as well
- Resize up or down, prorated automatically
- A per-app firewall with Add my IP
- SFTP and file-manager access, always on
- Live logs and restart without a ticket

Why CoreHostBuilt like we'd want it run for us
The parts of hosting that matter are the boring ones: backups that restore, updates that don't surprise you, support that reads logs instead of sending macros. That is where the effort goes.
Maintain one of the apps we host? Opt in, and a share of what it earns here can go to you or your project.
How the developer revenue share works
One-click restore
Daily backups you can restore yourself from the panel. No support email, no fee, no drama.
AI + human support
A 24/7 AI engineer that can inspect and fix your actual app, with humans behind it. App-level help is included, not refused.
Isolated by default
Every app runs in its own container with its own CPU, memory and disk. A noisy neighbour is never your problem.
No lock-in
SFTP access to your files and standard export paths in every app. Leaving easily is a feature we maintain on purpose.
Moving overBring your apps with you
Running an app on PikaPods, a VPS or a home server? Deploy the same app here, copy your data across over SFTP, and keep the old one until you are sure. Or open a ticket and we will move it with you.
PricingFlat plans, three currencies
No credit sliders, no metered tasks, no surprises. A published monthly price per app, drawn from your prepaid balance. Prices shown in USD. Apps hosted in Poland cost 25% less.
Fair questions

Run your first app free for about two months
The $5 starting credit covers roughly two months of a Lite app. That is enough time to know if this is for you.
