The Vibe Hosting
Last updated 2026-10-17 · benchmark measured 2026-10-17 — deterministic & reproducible
API-only Linux server hosting designed for AI coding agents and vibe coding workflows.
The Vibe Hosting at a glance
The Vibe Hosting provides root Linux servers with automatic HTTPS subdomains, created and managed entirely through a REST API, for AI coding agents and developers deploying vibe-coded apps.
Good for
- Deploying an app built by an AI coding agent (like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex) without a dashboard or manual server setup
- Small side projects, APIs, or bots that can sleep when idle to stay within the free credit
- Running an always-on small server, such as a Discord bot or MCP server, for little or no cost
Pricing
Free: $0.90/mo credit (256MB, sleeps). Verified phone: $2.25/mo credit (512MB 24/7). After credit: $0.005/GB-hr RAM, $0.10/GB egress, $0.25/GB-mo disk.
Questions people ask
Do I need to sign up or use a credit card to start?
No signup, API key, or credit card is required to start; an api_key is issued automatically on the first server creation call, and a card is only needed if you choose to add paid credit.
What does verifying my phone number unlock?
Phone verification raises free monthly credit from $0.90 to $2.25, increases the RAM ceiling from 256 MB to 2 GB (4 GB with paid credit), and unlocks always-on servers, custom domains, and unlimited servers.
How does sleep mode affect billing?
By default a server sleeps after about 10 minutes without traffic, freeing its RAM so it is no longer billed, and wakes again within a few seconds on the next request; disk is still billed while sleeping.
Is it safe to run arbitrary code on these servers?
Each project runs in a gVisor-sandboxed container with hard CPU and RAM limits, isolated from the host and other tenants, and outbound SMTP is blocked.
What happens if my credit runs out?
Servers are paused after a short grace period until credit is added or usage is reduced.
