Any app you name,
fully managed.
Don't see your app? Tell us what you want to install and we'll do it for you. Any legal, self-hostable app that fits your server. We confirm feasibility before installing, and like every app here, the install costs nothing extra.
Billed yearly, or $6 month to month. The install is $0; we confirm the size with you first.

At a glance
Custom installs, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- Custom App Install is the catalog's escape hatch: name any legal, self-hostable application and we deploy it for you as part of your order, at no extra charge like every app in the catalog.
- What we install
- Tell us the app at checkout; we confirm feasibility, then build and run the deployment on your server: dependencies, database, HTTPS, mail wiring, and supervision, the same standard the catalog apps get.
- What managed covers
- The platform underneath is fully covered as always: updates, snapshots, monitoring, firewall, inbound antispam, with Dual Backups and MailChannels as optional add-ons. The app itself joins the routine to the extent it can be routinized, and we are honest with you about that line.
- What it needs
- 1 GB RAM
A starting point: we confirm what your app really needs before we install it.
Built for
What people ask us to install.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
The app we have not listed yet
Name it at checkout; if it runs on Linux, our playbook process probably runs it.
Legacy software with quirks
Older PHP, a specific Java, a vendor appliance: we build the environment around its requirements.
Bespoke internal tools
Your in-house app deployed with the same TLS, snapshots and monitoring the catalog apps get.
Complex multi-service stacks
App plus workers plus queue plus database, composed and documented so it survives reboots and updates.

The details
Custom installs, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
How does a Custom App Install work?
You name the app in the order, we check feasibility (license, architecture, resource honesty) and confirm before anything is billed as done, then deploy it properly: not a curl-pipe-bash, but a real installation with HTTPS, backups, and supervision. Feasible almost always means yes.
What qualifies, and what does not?
Any legal, self-hostable application that fits your server qualifies, which covers nearly everything on GitHub with an install guide. What does not: the abuse-adjacent tail (botting tools, spam infrastructure, anonymity-first services) that our acceptable use policy exists to keep off shared IP space.
What does it cost?
Nothing beyond the server, like every app here. The meter counts a 1 GB placeholder until we size the real requirement with you; if the app honestly needs a bigger plan, we say so before installing rather than after it crawls.
Does my request shape the catalog?
Directly: custom requests are how the catalog grows. Ask for something twice and it is a wave-2 candidate; the apps on this page mostly started as somebody's request.
FAQ
Custom installs, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
How long does a custom install take?
Feasibility comes back quickly, and straightforward apps deploy same business day. Genuinely exotic stacks get an honest estimate up front.
Will you keep the custom app updated?
Where it has a sane update path, yes, snapshot first. Where it is a research project in a trench coat, we tell you what maintenance honestly looks like before you commit.
Can I request several?
Yes, list them: each is checked, sized into the meter, and deployed. The one-app-per-server rule does not live here.
How does the process actually work?
Tell us the app at checkout. We confirm feasibility, build and test the install on your server, document it, and hand it over running. You get the result of a playbook without waiting for the catalog.
What if the app turns out not to be feasible?
We tell you before charging for the work, and the 30-day money-back covers the server itself. Unfeasible is rare; unusual requirements just take a conversation.
Is this Custom App Install on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Custom App Install runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Do you migrate my existing Custom App Install?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
Your app runs. You sleep.
Any app you name on a managed server from $5/mo, free migration and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
