What is Sliplane?
Sliplane is a simple and cost effective platform for shipping and running your applications in the cloud.
Sliplane takes away most of the overhead of running things in production so you don’t have to worry about it — building your app, running it, monitoring its health, and everything in between.
Sliplane started out as a Docker hosting platform, and containers are still at the heart of what we do. But you no longer need to know anything about Docker to deploy with us, and the platform now covers more of your stack — from deploying your apps to object storage.
One of Sliplanes core features are continuous deployments. You connect a GitHub repository, and Sliplane will automatically build and deploy your application on every new commit.
Here you can find answers to the most common questions we get about Sliplane. If you have any other questions, please contact us
How much does Sliplane cost?
Section titled “How much does Sliplane cost?”Sliplane charges per server. Host unlimited services for one price. Servers start at €9/month + VAT with per-hour billing (you only pay for the time your server exists). See our detailed billing guide for more information.
Where are my servers hosted?
Section titled “Where are my servers hosted?”Servers in Germany and Finland run on infrastructure from Hetzner GmbH. Servers in the US and Singapore run on Datapacket and Latitude. In all locations you get stable and powerful hardware at highly competitive rates.
Can I bring my own server?
Section titled “Can I bring my own server?”No, we provide a fully managed service, so you don’t need to deal with server management at all. A public Sliplane agent that you can install on your own infrastructure does not exist.
Why should I use Sliplane?
Section titled “Why should I use Sliplane?”Sliplane is the solution when it comes to hosting simple applications for an affordable price. We provide all the tools you need to get your application up and running quickly — deploy your code with or without a Dockerfile and store files in S3-compatible Object Storage — and take away all the overhead of running things in production.
Do I need to know Docker to use Sliplane?
Section titled “Do I need to know Docker to use Sliplane?”No. You can deploy straight from a GitHub repository without writing a Dockerfile — Sliplane detects your application’s stack and builds it for you using Railpack. If you do want full control over the build, you can add a Dockerfile and Sliplane will use it instead.
