Try a broader term, clear the filters, or ask us to add it. Anything that ships as a container image already runs on the Docker app.
Pick the app in the VPS builder. We suggest a minimum plan for each one, and you can go bigger. Six regions: Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Singapore, Frankfurt, London and New York.
Most VPS orders are ready within 15 minutes of payment confirmation. The image installs the app and its stack, sizes caches to your plan's memory and opens only the ports the app needs.
The first time you connect to your VPS over SSH, the login prints the app's URL, where the generated passwords are kept and the commands for HTTPS. From then on it's a normal Linux server with full root.
Example output. IP addresses use the 203.0.113.0/24 documentation range.
If you only need a website, you don't need a VPS; web hosting or managed WordPress hosting is enough. Every web hosting plan includes Softaculous in cPanel, which installs hundreds of PHP scripts, WordPress, Joomla, PrestaShop and OpenCart among them, into your account in a few clicks. We look after the server; you look after the site.

| Access | Full root over SSH | Your own cPanel account |
| Who runs the server | You, or add Fully managed for ₹999/mo | We do: OS, web server, PHP and security |

| Background jobs and custom ports | ||
| Regions | All 6, including London | 5 of 6, all but London |

Prices exclude 18% GST. VPS from ₹449/mo on monthly billing; web hosting Launch renews at ₹129/mo.
Tell us what you'd like to run and we'll look at adding it to the catalogue. Until then, any published container image deploys on the Docker app with a compose file like this one, and every image is a standard Ubuntu or AlmaLinux server underneath.

No. You pay for the VPS and nothing else for open-source apps. Two control panels need a paid licence: cPanel & WHM is a ₹1,450/mo add-on (+ GST), and Plesk is billed monthly at the edition's current price, which sales can quote. CloudPanel, CyberPanel and Webmin are free.
Operating-system security patches install automatically through unattended upgrades; for further hardening, see how to secure a new Linux VPS. Application updates, such as WordPress core and plugins, new container images or GitLab releases, are yours to run, because they can change how your site behaves. If you would rather we handle it, add the Fully managed option (₹999/mo) to the VPS.
Yes, by reinstalling the VPS with the app image from the client area. A reinstall erases the disk, so take one of your three free snapshots first. If you want to keep what's on the server, follow the app's after-deploy notes to install it by hand, or open a ticket and we'll point you in the right direction.
We issue the cPanel & WHM or Plesk licence for your server's IP and bill it with the VPS each month. Cancel the licence and it ends with the billing period; licences aren't covered by the money-back guarantee. If you already hold a licence from elsewhere, you can install the panel on a plain OS image and activate your own.
Yes. Every image, including the control-panel images, gives you full root over SSH. There are no locked configuration files and no agents you can't remove, so you can change the stack, add software or remove the app entirely.
Standard support is free and runs 24/7 by ticket and email, with first-response targets of 30 minutes for critical issues and 2 hours for standard ones. It covers the VPS, the network and the image booting as described, up to your first login. Configuring and debugging the app itself is self-managed unless you add Fully managed, or choose a support plan.
Put the server near the people who use it. For visitors in India, Mumbai or Delhi NCR keeps latency low and keeps your data in the country. Singapore suits South-East Asia, Frankfurt and London suit Europe, and New York suits North America. For monitoring tools such as Uptime Kuma, pick a different region from the servers being monitored.
Reinstall the VPS with a different image from the client area at no extra charge. If the VPS itself isn't right, it carries a 7-day money-back guarantee. Control-panel licences and setup fees aren't refundable. The full terms are in the refund policy.
Choose an app in the VPS builder, size the server and pick one of six regions. ₹379/mo is VC-1 billed yearly, plus GST, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
