InstaPods is an app hosting platform that deploys web applications from localhost to a live HTTPS URL in under 10 seconds. You run one CLI command - instapods deploy my-app - and InstaPods provisions a dedicated Linux server with your chosen runtime (Node.js, Python, PHP, or static), installs dependencies, configures SSL and DNS, and returns a live URL. Every pod runs 24/7 with no cold starts, includes full SSH access, and starts at $3 per month with flat pricing and no bandwidth charges. InstaPods also integrates with AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Lovable through its MCP server, letting AI agents deploy and manage apps directly.
InstaPods is built for developers and AI-assisted builders who want to ship apps without configuring infrastructure. The platform is designed for three primary audiences:
If you build apps with Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, or any AI coding tool, InstaPods gets your project live with one command. The MCP server lets your AI assistant deploy directly without context switching.
Ship side projects, client work, and MVPs without wrestling with DevOps. Full SSH access when you need it, managed infrastructure when you don't. Flat pricing means you always know your costs.
Run n8n, Uptime Kuma, Memos, Beszel, Excalidraw, and Stirling PDF with one click. No Docker, no YAML, no manual server configuration. Each app gets its own isolated environment.
Deployment takes one command and under 10 seconds from start to live URL:
Run instapods deploy my-app from your project directory. InstaPods auto-detects your stack - Node.js, Python, PHP, or static - from your code. No Dockerfile, no configuration file, no YAML.
A dedicated Linux server is provisioned in under 2 seconds from the warm pool. Your files are synced, dependencies installed, SSL certificate issued, DNS configured, and a reverse proxy route activated - all automatically.
Your app is running at a live HTTPS URL. Point a custom domain, set up Git-based auto-deploy, or connect the MCP server so your AI assistant can manage the pod going forward.
InstaPods is a full-stack hosting platform, not a collection of separate services. Every pod is a dedicated Linux server with everything included:
All plans are flat-rate with no usage-based billing. Every plan includes auto-SSL, SSH access, custom domains, the CLI, Git deploy, MCP server, and unlimited bandwidth.
| Plan | Price | CPU | RAM | Disk | Databases |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | $3/mo | 1 vCPU | 512 MB | 10 GB | - |
| Build | $7/mo | 2 vCPU | 2 GB | 25 GB | MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis |
| Grow | $15/mo | 2 vCPU | 4 GB | 50 GB | MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis |

InstaPods replaces the traditional stack of separate services with a single platform. Here is how it compares for a typical full-stack app (2 CPUs, 2 GB RAM):
| Feature | InstaPods | Vercel | Railway | Render | DigitalOcean |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost (2 CPU / 2 GB) | $7 | $20+ | $15-20 | $25 | $18 |
| Database included | Yes | No (add-on) | No (add-on) | No (add-on) | No (add-on) |
| SSH access | Yes | No | No | No | Yes |
| Always on (no cold starts) | Yes | No (serverless) | Yes | Paid plans only | Yes |
| Flat pricing | Yes | No (usage-based) | No (usage-based) | Yes | Yes |
| MCP server for AI agents | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| 1-Click self-hosted apps | Yes | No | No | No | Via marketplace |
| Persistent file storage | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |

InstaPods works with every development environment and AI coding assistant. Deploy from the CLI, connect a GitHub repo for auto-deploy, or use the MCP server for AI-driven deployment:

Vercel and similar platforms are optimized for frontends and serverless functions. InstaPods gives you a full Linux server with backend, database, file storage, and SSH access in one place. There is no stitching together separate services for your database, storage, and compute. Pricing is flat: $7 per month gets you 2 CPUs, 2 GB RAM, and 25 GB disk with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis included. No per-request charges, no bandwidth overages, no surprise bills.
InstaPods is built for developers and AI-assisted builders who want to ship apps without configuring infrastructure. If you build apps with Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, or any AI coding tool, InstaPods gets your project live with one command. It is also used by indie developers, freelancers shipping client projects, and teams running self-hosted tools like n8n, Uptime Kuma, and Memos.
InstaPods supports Node.js (Express, Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, SvelteKit, Hono, Fastify), Python (Flask, Django, FastAPI), PHP (Laravel, WordPress), and static sites (React, Vue, Astro, Hugo, Vite). You can also deploy pre-configured 1-Click Apps including n8n, Uptime Kuma, Beszel, Memos, Excalidraw, and Stirling PDF.
InstaPods has 5 flat-rate plans: Launch at $3 per month (1 CPU, 512 MB RAM, 10 GB disk), Build at $7 per month (2 CPUs, 2 GB RAM, 25 GB disk), Grow at $15 per month (2 CPUs, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB disk), Scale at $25 per month (4 CPUs, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB disk), and Turbo at $49 per month (6 CPUs, 12 GB RAM, 150 GB disk). Every plan includes auto-SSL, SSH access, custom domains, the CLI, Git deploy, MCP server, and unlimited bandwidth. Databases are included on Build and above.
The InstaPods MCP server lets AI coding assistants manage your hosting directly. Connect it to Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible tool, and your AI agent can create pods, deploy code, install databases, check logs, and run commands without leaving the conversation. It uses the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for AI tool integration.
