Your app has been on
localhost long enough.

Yeah, free forever. No card, no expiry. Hobby just doesn't cost anything. The catch is your app sleeps when it's been quiet for a bit and takes a second to wake up when traffic comes in. If that's annoying, paid plans don't sleep.

You don't need Docker at all. Pick your runtime, point it at your code, done. If you do use Docker, bring your image and it deploys the same way.

Each running service is one workload. Your API is one, a background worker is another, a cron job is another. Hobby gives you one, Indie five, Pro twenty-five. They all run on the same server.

No. You pay for the server, not for what it handles. Traffic, requests, bandwidth, none of it changes your bill. Same number every month, no surprises.

On Render you pay per service, so five apps is five separate bills. Railway charges for what your app actually consumes, so a traffic spike hits your wallet. Here you pay for the server and run what you need on it. More apps, more traffic, same price.

Heroku runs each service on its own dyno and charges per dyno hour. The more services you run, the more it stacks up. dployr is one flat fee for the server. Run everything on it.

Nothing bad. Your current version stays live until the new one comes up healthy. If something still goes wrong after it deploys, roll back in one click.

Yes. Point your domain and SSL gets set up and auto-renewed. Nothing to configure.
