Looks nice. Great job. Can I deploy multiple services on the same instance?

Hey ceesharp, No, it’s not possible for multiple reasons:

1) We want to avoid additional services having impacts on your main service, like one of the services, could use all the resources (cpu, ram, disk) and crash everything else.

2) We are offering several types of backups, including daily full VM snapshots, if you need to restore a VM snapshot this will impact all the software on the VM

3) Price overhead of having a single service per VM is acceptable for fully managed services, where ensuring the quality of service is worth the few more bucks to guarantee that.

4) We do provide root SSH access to the VM, so you are free to run some additional stuff, but we do management only on the software we support and the part we auto-deploy

Hey, thanks for the detailed answer.
For same instance, look into cloudron.io . That is not managed hosting though like this one is.
