Docker Hosting:
rent your own Docker server.
Docker hosting for developers: a KVM VPS with full root access, where Coolify builds and runs your apps as containers. Push from Git like on Heroku or Vercel, start any Docker image or Compose stack, and pay one plan price for the server instead of per app.

Use cases
Host Docker containers on your own server.
Your own code, self-hosted backends, Git and monitoring all run as containers on the same VPS. Every app below installs in one click from the app catalog, from Supabase and GitLab to Docker Registry and Portainer.
Deploy your Docker apps from Git
Connect a repository, pick a branch, ship: Coolify on your VPS builds the image, starts the container and serves it over HTTPS on your own domain.
- Node.js, Python, PHP, Go or any Dockerfile
- Docker Compose stacks with several services
- Automatic redeploy on every push, SSL included
1-click apps
Self-hosted Supabase and other backends
Database, auth, storage and API on your own server: run Supabase, Appwrite or PocketBase as containers instead of on a vendor's cloud.
- Supabase, Appwrite, PocketBase and Convex
- Headless CMS with Directus or Strapi
- Background jobs with Inngest or Trigger.dev
Self-hosted GitLab, CI runners and a Docker registry
Code, pipelines and images stay on your server: GitLab, Gitea or Forgejo for repositories, your own GitHub Actions runners and a self-hosted Docker registry for your images.
- GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo and OneDev
- Self-hosted runners for GitHub Actions and Gitea Actions
- Private Docker Registry or Nexus for your images
Manage and monitor your containers
Logs, load and errors in one place, without extra SaaS bills: container management, uptime checks and error tracking run right next to your apps.
- Portainer and Dozzle for containers and logs
- Uptime Kuma and Beszel for uptime and server load
- GlitchTip and Healthchecks for errors and cron jobs

Comparison
A self-hosted alternative to Heroku and Vercel
A hosted PaaS runs the servers for you and usually bills per app, usage or team seat. Coolify on your own VPS gives you the same push-to-deploy workflow with fixed resources, and pays off once you run several apps and want full control over the stack.

Guide
Docker hosting: what to look for
Docker hosting at ZAP-Hosting is a KVM VPS with full root access on which you install Coolify as a 1-click app. Coolify builds your code and runs your apps, databases and services as Docker containers, with Git deploys, domains and SSL. You choose the resources and the location, and the plan price stays the same however many containers you run.
Coolify VPS hosting: deploy apps from Git
Push to the branch, Coolify handles build and deploy.
- Sources
- GitHubGitLabGitea
- Build
- DockerfileNixpacksCompose
- Fits
- Next.jsLaravelDjangoNode.js
Coolify is an open-source, self-hosted PaaS. On your VPS it connects to a repository, detects most projects on its own and builds them with Nixpacks, or uses your own Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml. After every push it builds the new image and swaps the running container.
Domains and SSL certificates are set up in the same panel. Frontend, API and workers of a project run on one server, with the deploy workflow you know from Heroku or Vercel but without per-app billing.
Docker Compose hosting with full root access
Host any Docker container, with or without a panel.
- Formats
- Docker imageCompose stack
- Management
- CoolifyPortainerDozzle
- Access
- RootSSHDocker CLI
Node.js, Python, PHP, Go or Java: anything you can package as a container runs on your Docker VPS. Start ready-made images directly, or describe multi-service applications as a Docker Compose stack with database, cache and workers.
Coolify is optional. With full root access you can also run Docker and Compose the classic way over SSH and the Docker CLI, or add Portainer as a second interface for your containers.
Self-hosted GitLab and Docker registry
Repositories, pipelines and images on your own server.
- Git
- GitLabGiteaForgejo
- CI
- Actions runnerJenkins
- Registry
- Docker RegistryZotNexus
Host your repositories yourself with GitLab, Gitea or Forgejo, including issues, merge requests and pipelines. A self-hosted GitHub Actions or Gitea runner on the VPS runs your jobs on your own resources.
Push the built images to a self-hosted Docker registry or Nexus and deploy them from there to the same server or to other VPS connected as Coolify nodes.
Choosing a Docker hosting provider
Resources, location, backups and billing.

- Every 30 daysCancel anytimeBackups with ZapX Pass
Size the server by your stack: Coolify itself needs about 2 GB RAM, a few small containers fit on an entry plan, while Supabase, GitLab or frequent image builds need more RAM and vCores. You can upgrade the plan as your stack grows, and you pick the location when you order; availability varies by product and location.
On your own server you keep the system, Coolify and your images up to date. Diun reports new image versions, Uptime Kuma checks that your apps are reachable, and you should only open the ports your apps need. Snapshots, manual backups and restore of the whole VPS come with ZapX Pass.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Docker hosting
Coolify, Docker Compose, resources and cost, answered briefly.
A KVM VPS for your own containers, with Coolify as a 1-click app.
Docker hosting means your applications run as Docker containers on a server on the internet. At ZAP-Hosting you get a KVM VPS with full root access; install Coolify from the app catalog to build, deploy and manage containers through a web UI, or run Docker directly over SSH.
Coolify is an open-source, self-hosted PaaS. It runs your apps, databases and services as Docker containers on your own server, deploys from GitHub, GitLab or your own Git server on every push, and sets up domains and SSL certificates for you.
Yes, root over SSH with the Docker CLI and docker compose.
Yes. Every Docker server is a KVM VPS with root access over SSH, so you can use the Docker CLI and docker compose directly. In Coolify you can also deploy a docker-compose.yml as a stack with several services.
Run your containers on your own VPS with one plan price instead of paying per container or per app. Several small apps share the resources of one server, and you start with the smallest plan that fits your stack. The current prices are shown live in the plans above.
Any Docker image or Compose stack runs: your own Node.js, Python, PHP, Go or Java apps, plus 1-click apps from the catalog such as Supabase, GitLab, Docker Registry, Portainer and Uptime Kuma. Discord bots and MCP servers deploy like any other container; for single bots and MCP servers there are also dedicated pages with matching plans. Discord bot hostingMCP server hosting
Up to 64 vCores and 128 GB RAM per VPS.
It depends on your stack. Coolify itself needs about 2 GB RAM, and the entry plans start at 4 GB RAM, which is enough for a few small containers. Supabase, GitLab or many parallel builds need more. In the custom configuration you choose vCores, RAM and up to 2 TB NVMe storage yourself. Configure Docker server
Setup is automated, so your VPS is online within minutes of ordering. Install Coolify or any other app from the catalog right after and deploy your first container. You can cancel anytime, effective at the end of the current term.
Automatic backups and restore with ZapX Pass.
With ZapX Pass you get snapshots, manual backups, daily backups that are kept longer on higher tiers, and restore of the whole VPS through your backup slots. The backup storage per account depends on your Pass tier, and a VPS counts only once, with the data stored on it rather than its disk size. Without ZapX Pass you back up databases and volumes yourself, for example with a cron job, and keep a copy outside the server. View ZapX Pass
In FFM/Eygelshoven (EU) and in Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles (USA).
You pick the location when you order, ideally close to your users. In FFM/Eygelshoven, PletX Premium DDoS protection is included at no extra cost. A 1 Gbit/s uplink always comes with it, and you can configure up to 5 Gbit/s for a surcharge.
Prices per 30 days, cancel any time at the end of the term.
Prices are shown per 30 days. When you order, you choose a term of 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days, or Lifetime with ZapX Pass. You can cancel any time at the end of the current term.
