What is Caddy?

Caddy on your own VPS in one click.

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.

Caddy on your own VPS in one click.

Features

Automatic HTTPS and reverse proxy on your terms

Certificates that renew themselves, one gateway for all your subdomains and live config changes via Caddy's admin API, with root access underneath.

Caddy live in one click

Your web server runs within minutes. The Coolify app installer replaces the manual apt or Docker setup.

One reverse proxy for every app

Every app gets its own subdomain behind one entry point, routed by a few Caddyfile lines.

Static file server

Publish a static site or downloads in seconds: upload your files and Caddy serves them.

Automatic HTTPS certificates

Sites stay on valid HTTPS without cron jobs because Caddy requests and renews ACME certificates.

Live config via admin API

Change routes without downtime. Caddy's admin API applies new config on the fly.

Upstream health checks

Visitors never land on a dead backend because Caddy checks upstreams and skips failing ones.

Inside Caddy

What you can do with 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.

Web server & reverse proxyHTTPS by defaultBuilt for self-hostersReadable config

Certificate status at a glance

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.

  • Expiry date per domain

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Caddy

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

  • Choose a VPS plan and location
  • Deploy Caddy from One-Click Apps in one click
  • Point your domain at the VPS IP and edit the Caddyfile

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.

  • Static sites and a few apps: a smaller plan
  • Media servers or many containers: more RAM and CPU
  • Large file libraries: plan for enough disk

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.

  • No license fee for Caddy
  • Live prices in the plan cards
  • Flexible terms

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

  • Point an A/AAAA record at your VPS IP
  • Add the domain to your Caddyfile
  • Caddy issues and renews the certificate

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.

  • One subdomain per app
  • HTTPS handled centrally by Caddy
  • Homelab services via WireGuard tunnel

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

  • Cancel anytime in the dashboard
  • Server runs until the end of the term

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.

  • Locations in Europe and America
  • Pick the location closest to your users

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

  • Full root access via SSH
  • Freely editable Caddyfile
  • Custom builds with plugins

Why does Caddy fail to get a certificate?
Your log shows the ACME challenge failing. The A record doesn't point to this VPS yet.
How do I check that?
Compare the DNS record with your VPS IP, then reload Caddy once they match.
