The whole platform.
Not just hosting.

Deploy applications straight from your Git repository, host classically over SSH, attach databases, caches, search and object storage, manage domains and DNS – all in one interface, on a single Kubernetes infrastructure, with servers in Germany.

Push to your repo.
We build and deploy.

Connect your GitHub repository – every push triggers a deployment: Fetch → Build → Publish → Activate. The platform detects your stack automatically, from Laravel and Symfony to Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, SvelteKit and Vite. No infrastructure to manage.

Each app has environments for production, staging and preview – with their own branch mapping and inheritable environment variables. Bad deployment? Roll back with one click. Staging approved? Promote to production.

For Laravel there are ready-made presets: Octane, Horizon, Reverb, Pulse and Inertia SSR. Background workers, cron jobs and the scheduler run alongside as daemons – CPU and RAM freely selectable per process.

Spaces & 1-Click

Prefer it classic?
Web hosting with SSH.

Not every project needs a build pipeline. Spaces are container-based web hosting with SSH and SFTP access, a freely selectable PHP version (8.0–8.5), cron jobs and pre-installed tools – as familiar as classic hosting, but with guaranteed resources.

To get started quickly, use 1-click installs: WordPress, Shopware, Statamic, Matomo, Drupal, Joomla, Grav or LimeSurvey. The platform sets up the database, cron jobs and SSL automatically – the app then runs inside your Space.

Container Hosting

Your own images,
multi-container stacks.

Bring any OCI image – from public or private registries. A container deployment combines boot, runtime and cron-job containers into one stack, configured through parametrizable templates instead of long YAML files.

Templates can be exported, imported and cloned. Through the web terminal you access running containers directly in the browser – without SSH or VPN. You roll out new versions with a single click.

Data services

Data, cache, search,
storage – managed.

Four managed data services that you attach directly to your applications via service bindings – credentials land automatically as environment variables in the app.

Backups, scaling through performance levels and – except for object storage – reachability on the private network only are included everywhere.

Databases

Managed MariaDB (10.11 / 11.3), MySQL-compatible. Multiple users, phpMyAdmin, automatic backups.

Caches

Redis, Valkey or Memcached – as an in-memory layer for sessions, queues, fragments or rate limits.

Searches

Meilisearch: full-text search with typo tolerance and instant results.

Buckets

S3-compatible object storage for files, media and backups – via your own AWS account.

Network & domains

Domains, DNS, routing –
one chain.

Register or transfer domains across more than 200 extensions. DNS management runs on LAY7 Cloud-DNS with all common record types – A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, CAA and more.

Routes connect a domain, subdomain or path to a Space, container or app – including an automatic wildcard TLS certificate and an optional redirect.

You protect sensitive endpoints with access restrictions: IP whitelist or HTTP basic auth, toggled per route.
