GitLab VPS hosting.

GitLab Community Edition is open source and needs no license fee, so your monthly cost is simply the VPS plan you pick. The price depends on the VPS package (RAM, CPU, storage), term and location – the current plans are shown in the pricing section. Features from GitLab's paid Premium or Ultimate tiers require a separate license purchased from GitLab.

• GitLab CE is free and open source
• You only pay for the VPS package
• Paid GitLab tiers need a separate license from GitLab

GitLab.com is GitLab's SaaS, hosted and run by GitLab. Self-hosted GitLab CE on your VPS keeps repositories and pipelines on a server and location you choose. You get full root access, so you can edit gitlab.rb and run your own runners without shared CI minutes. You apply GitLab updates yourself, for example by redeploying the image in Coolify or via the package manager.

• GitLab.com: SaaS run by GitLab
• Self-hosted: your server, your location
• You apply GitLab updates yourself

Yes. GitLab's built-in importers bring repositories, issues and merge requests from GitLab.com or GitHub into your own instance. Large projects can also be moved via project export and import, so your history and discussions come along.

Any KVM VPS with enough memory works – at ZAP-Hosting you deploy GitLab CE in one click via One-Click Apps. GitLab's official requirements list 4 GB RAM as the minimum and 8 GB as the recommendation for small teams. Light CI runners can share the server if you plan around 16 GB; for frequent or heavy builds, register runners on a second VPS so GitLab stays responsive. GitLab setup guide

• 4 GB RAM: minimum per GitLab's docs
• 8 GB RAM: recommended for small teams
• 16 GB RAM or a second VPS for CI runners

Order your VPS, open the One-Click Apps tab and deploy the GitLab template – Coolify pulls the GitLab CE image and starts it. For your own domain, point an A record such as git.yourcompany.com to the VPS IP and set it as the GitLab URL in Coolify, which requests a Let's Encrypt certificate for HTTPS. Prefer to do it by hand? With root access you can install GitLab via Docker Compose or the Omnibus package. One-Click Apps guide in the Help Center

• One-click deploy via One-Click Apps and Coolify
• Own domain with HTTPS via Let's Encrypt
• Manual install with Docker Compose or Omnibus

Pick the data center closest to your developers – pushes, clones and the web UI feel fastest there. ZAP-Hosting offers VPS locations in Europe and America; North American teams often start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. You choose the location when you configure your VPS.

With ZapX Pass you can create, restore and download VPS Backups in the dashboard. For GitLab itself, also run gitlab-backup create regularly and store gitlab.rb and gitlab-secrets.json separately – GitLab's own Backup doesn't include these configuration files, but you need them for a full restore.
