Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 49 of the 122 other web hosts we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Sliplane, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You pick server sizes and deploy containers, which has a learning curve.
- 1
Best for container hosting billed per server
VAT, with unlimited services per server.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $10.05 a month
As its pricing page puts it: €9 per server / month (Starter), excluding VAT.
- 3
You can try it first
A free demo server, deleted automatically after 48 hours unless you add a payment method and turn it into a paid server.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Push to deploy
Connect a GitHub repository or a container registry; Sliplane detects the framework, builds, and deploys with zero-downtime releases.
- 6
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.
- 7
One-click presets
Presets cover popular software such as n8n, Open WebUI, Grafana, Metabase and several databases.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 49 of 122
That is against the other web hosts we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Starter is €9 a month per server ex. VAT, in the ordinary range, and managed PostgreSQL adds €19 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A demo server is removed after 48 hours unless you add a payment method, shorter than a week. |
| Features | C | Push to deploy, unlimited services per server, backups, SSL and a REST API. Built around containers, not shared PHP hosting. |
| Ease of use | C | You pick server sizes and deploy containers, which has a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web dashboard with a REST API and several integrations. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Developers who want to run many small services on one predictable monthly server cost
- Teams that need European hosting
- Self-hosters of tools such as n8n who do not want to manage a server
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
