WE PROVISION IT
Your VPS is deployed with Coolify pre-installed, firewalled and backed up. You get your login details and an API token.
CLAUDE DEPLOYS YOUR APP
Connect Claude Code (or any AI assistant) to your Coolify server via the API or MCP. Tell it to deploy your project, set up your domain and configure SSL — it does the heavy lifting.

THE CLOUD29 ADVANTAGE
Why Choose Cloud29?
AI coding tools have made building software fast. Hosting it securely hasn’t caught up — most people end up with an app on an overseas platform they don’t fully control, or a server they don’t know how to secure.
Cloud29’s Coolify VPS fixes that. You get a private server in a South African datacentre, protected by a next-generation firewall, with Coolify ready to deploy whatever you’ve built. Your data stays local, your costs stay flat, and your AI assistant can manage the whole thing through Coolify’s API.
- Made for AI-built apps – Works with anything Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or Bolt produces: Next.js, Node, Python, Laravel, Go, static sites, Docker Compose.
- Automatic SSL and custom domains – HTTPS is set up and renewed for you. Point your domain at the server and Coolify does the rest.
- Claude-operable – Coolify’s REST API and MCP server let Claude deploy, update, roll back and debug without you touching a terminal.
- Hosted in South Africa – Low latency for local users and POPIA-friendly data residency.
- Backed up daily – Seven daily backups of your entire server, managed by us.
- One flat monthly fee – No per-app, per-seat or per-build charges. Deploy as many projects as the server can handle.
FEATURES
Coolify Pre-Installed
Your VPS arrives with Coolify installed, configured and ready. Log in, connect GitHub, and deploy — or hand the API token to Claude and let it start.
API and MCP Ready
Coolify exposes a full REST API, and MCP servers are available for Claude Code and other AI assistants. Generate an API token in your dashboard and your AI can manage deployments, databases, domains and environment variables directly.
Automatic SSL Certificates
Free Let’s Encrypt certificates are issued and renewed automatically for every domain you attach. No manual certbot, no expiry emails.
Databases Included
Spin up PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis and more from the dashboard (or via Claude). Coolify can schedule database backups to S3-compatible storage as well.
Secure Hosting Environment
Next-generation firewall protection and enterprise-grade network security in front of your server, so you’re not exposing an unhardened box to the internet.
Managed Backups
We take seven daily backups of your entire VPS. If something goes badly wrong, we restore it.
BENEFITS
Predictable Costs
Replace per-seat and per-service PaaS billing with a single flat monthly fee, no matter how many applications you deploy.
Full Admin Access
Complete administrative control over your Coolify installation lets you install, configure and tune your environment exactly as you need it.
No Vendor Lock-In
Coolify is open source and runs standard Docker containers, so your applications stay portable.
Flexible & Scalable Plans
Choose a VPS plan that matches your current needs and easily scale resources as your projects grow.
FAQs
Q: I built an app with Claude Code / Cursor / Lovable. Can I host it here?
A: Yes — this is exactly what the service is for. If your project is in a Git repository or can run in a Docker container, Coolify can deploy it. Most frameworks these tools generate (Next.js, React, Vite, Node, Python/FastAPI, Laravel, Go, static sites) are supported out of the box.
Q: What is Coolify, in plain terms?
A: Coolify is an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Heroku, Vercel and Netlify. It takes your code, builds it, runs it in a container, attaches your domain and issues an SSL certificate — from a web dashboard or via its API. The difference is it runs on your own server, so there are no per-app charges and your data stays in South Africa.
Q: How does Claude talk to Coolify?
A: Coolify has a full REST API, and there are MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that expose it to Claude Code and other AI assistants. You generate an API token in your Coolify dashboard, add the MCP server to Claude Code, and from then on you can ask Claude to deploy, update, restart or debug your applications in natural language.
Q: Do you set up my app for me?
A: We provision and secure the server, install Coolify, and manage backups. Deploying your application is done by you (or by Claude on your behalf) through Coolify. If you get stuck, our support team can point you in the right direction, and we offer paid consulting if you’d like us to handle the deployment.
Q: Will my site have HTTPS?
A: Yes. Coolify issues free Let’s Encrypt certificates automatically for every domain you attach and renews them before they expire. You just point your domain’s DNS at your server’s dedicated IP.
Q: Which plan should I choose?
A: Starter suits one or two small apps with a database. If you’re running several projects, staging environments, or anything database-heavy, go for Growth or higher — builds and databases benefit a lot from extra RAM. We’re happy to advise based on what you’ve built.
Q: Can I scale up later?
A: Yes. CPU, RAM and storage can be upgraded in place as your projects grow.
Q: Do I get full access to my server?
A: You get full administrative access to your Coolify installation and can manage everything through it. Cloud29 retains root access to the underlying VPS to manage backups and security.
Q: Are my applications backed up?
A: We take seven daily backups of your entire VPS as standard. Coolify also has built-in scheduled database backups that can push to an external S3-compatible destination for an extra layer of protection.
Q: Can I run a Docker Compose project?
A: Yes. Coolify supports Docker Compose deployments, so multi-service projects (app + database + worker + Redis, for example) deploy as a single unit.
