Best for container hosting billed per server
Sliplane runs Docker containers on servers billed by size, from €9 a month ex. VAT, with unlimited services per server. It offers only a 48-hour demo, and managed PostgreSQL starts at €19 a month.
Who Sliplane is for
- Fits if you run Docker containers and want several services on one server
- Works for small teams that deploy from GitHub
Who Sliplane is not for
- Skip it if you want shared PHP hosting, as it is built around containers
- Tight if you want to try it, as the demo server is deleted after 48 hours
- Pricey if you need a database, as managed PostgreSQL starts at €19 a month with no free tier
- Watch out: prices are in euros ex. VAT and a busy app may need a bigger tier

Keep Sliplane, or make your own?
Your call
Sliplane sits between: not beyond making, and not a weekend's work either.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $120.66 a year.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- It plugs into other products, GitHub, Docker and PostgreSQL among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Sliplane’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Sliplane?
Sliplane runs Docker containers and apps deployed from GitHub or a Docker image on servers in Europe, the US and Singapore. App hosting is priced per server rather than per service, so any number of services can share one server. The same account also offers managed PostgreSQL and S3-compatible object storage as separate products.
Worth knowing
- Prices are in euros and exclude VAT; yearly billing is labeled 33% cheaper and hourly billing costs more than monthly, but those figures are not in the page text.
- Servers are billed by size, so a busy app may need a larger tier; custom configurations require a minimum commitment.
- Managed PostgreSQL starts at €19 a month with no free tier, and object storage costs €5 per extra 250 GB.
- The service is built around containers; the site describes deploying from GitHub or Docker images rather than shared PHP hosting.
Key features
- Push to deploy
- Connect a GitHub repository or a container registry; Sliplane detects the framework, builds, and deploys with zero-downtime releases.
- Unlimited services per server
- Each server runs as many services as fit on it at no extra charge, so the bill follows servers, not apps.
- One-click presets
- Presets cover popular software such as n8n, Open WebUI, Grafana, Metabase and several databases.
- Backups and SSL
- Daily volume backups, free SSL certificates and free Sliplane subdomains for public services are listed as always included.
- Managed PostgreSQL and object storage
- PostgreSQL with point-in-time backups starts at €19 a month, and S3-compatible storage is billed in 250 GB blocks with the first GB free.
- REST API
- Servers and services can be provisioned and deployed programmatically with a personal access token.
