Caddy hosting with one-click deploy, automatic HTTPS and full root access, on DDoS-protected VPS plans in Europe & America.
American ExpressWhat is Caddy?
Caddy is an open-source web server and reverse proxy that puts your websites and self-hosted apps online with HTTPS already working. Point a domain at your server, add a short site block to the Caddyfile, and Caddy fetches and renews the TLS certificate on its own. With Caddy VPS hosting at ZAP-Hosting, you skip the manual apt or Docker Compose install: the VPS app installer, built on Coolify, deploys Caddy in one click.
Full root access turns Caddy into the front door for everything else on the server. Route subdomains to Nextcloud, Jellyfin, n8n or Vaultwarden, serve a static site from the same machine, or connect your homelab through a WireGuard tunnel and publish it with valid certificates. Edit the Caddyfile, build Caddy with the plugins you need and read the logs over SSH. The whole setup stays in your hands.

Features
Certificates that renew themselves, one gateway for all your subdomains and live config changes via Caddy's admin API, with root access underneath.
Your web server runs within minutes. The Coolify app installer replaces the manual apt or Docker setup.
Every app gets its own subdomain behind one entry point, routed by a few Caddyfile lines.
Publish a static site or downloads in seconds: upload your files and Caddy serves them.
Sites stay on valid HTTPS without cron jobs because Caddy requests and renews ACME certificates.
Change routes without downtime. Caddy's admin API applies new config on the fly.
Visitors never land on a dead backend because Caddy checks upstreams and skips failing ones.

Inside Caddy
Caddy serves your sites and proxies your apps with HTTPS on by default. Check certificates, edit the Caddyfile and read access logs without guesswork.
See which of your domains have a valid certificate, when each one expires and whether the last renewal went through. Caddy gets certificates from Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL and renews them well before they expire, so a red flag here means something needs your attention.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Order a VPS, open the One-Click Apps installer in the dashboard and pick Caddy. The installer is built on Coolify and deploys Caddy as a container with persistent storage, so you skip the manual apt or Docker Compose install. Your web server is online within minutes and ready for your first site block. One-Click Apps guide in the Help Center
Caddy itself is lightweight. It runs comfortably on the smaller plans for static sites and a few proxied apps. Size the plan for what runs behind Caddy: media servers, Nextcloud or several Docker apps need more RAM, CPU and disk than Caddy does. The plan cards on this page show the current specs of every plan.
Caddy is free, open-source software under the Apache 2.0 license, so you only pay for the VPS. Prices depend on the VPS package, term and location and are loaded live from the shop into the plan cards on this page. Terms are flexible and you can cancel anytime.
Yes. Create an A or AAAA record that points your domain or subdomain at the VPS IP, then add the domain as a site in your Caddyfile. Caddy requests a certificate via ACME from Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL, redirects HTTP to HTTPS and renews the certificate before it expires. DNS records explained in the Help Center
Yes, and that's the most common setup. Install apps like Nextcloud, Jellyfin, n8n or Vaultwarden on the same VPS and give each one its own subdomain. Caddy receives all incoming traffic, terminates HTTPS and forwards each request to the right app. You can also route traffic through a WireGuard tunnel to services in your homelab.
Yes. You can cancel your Caddy VPS anytime in the dashboard. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term, and your server keeps running until then, so you have time to move your sites and your Caddyfile. How cancellation works
You pick from our locations in Europe and America when you order. Choose the one closest to your visitors or your homelab. Many North American projects start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Caddy works the same in every location, and automatic HTTPS only needs a domain that points at your server.
Yes. Every Caddy VPS comes with full root access via SSH. Edit the Caddyfile and reload Caddy without downtime. You can also build a custom binary with plugins, such as DNS provider modules for wildcard certificates, or run your own Docker containers next to Caddy. First SSH access in the Help Center
