Looking for a simpler way to deploy your web applications? HOST AFRICA has launched HCode, a modern application hosting platform built on South African infrastructure, with straightforward pricing in rands.​

Whether you're running a side project or deploying applications for clients, HCode takes care of the deployment process so you can focus on building.

It runs on HCode.
Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby and PHP are supported, with automatic framework detection and builds. You can connect a GitHub repository or upload a ZIP file, or bring your own Dockerfile.

Your application and database can run together on South African infrastructure, while your hosting costs stay in ZAR at a fixed monthly rate.

Give HCode a try, two months on us!​

Interesting, can I deploy behind my own domain?

 

[_Ryan_]

Hi AquadatOr!

Yes, you certainly can!
Custom domains are part of your plan.

Serve a project on a domain you own, such as app.example.com. You add the domain in HCode, create one CNAME record at your DNS provider, and HCode sets up HTTPS once the record is in place.

You can learn more linked below!

Custom domains

Point your own domain at a project with one CNAME record and get HTTPS automatically.

We look forward to seeing your application live!

Warm Regards

I see you can run docker.

Is this serverless or always on?

 

[_Ryan_]

Good day _kabal_

Thank you for getting in touch.

HCode is an always on application hosting platform, rather than a serverless platform.

You can deploy applications using Docker, with containers designed to keep your applications running continuously rather than only starting when a request is received.

This allows you to host long-running services such as:

• Node.js or Python applications
• Django applications
• Background workers and queue processes
• Applications that require ongoing processes

HCode manages the underlying hosting infrastructure, so you don't need to manage a VPS or server operating system yourself.

In short, your Docker based application runs as a deployed service on HCode, rather than as a serverless function that starts and stops with individual requests.
