Run Coolify on your own VPS
Coolify is a self-hosted PaaS for deploying applications, databases and services on your own server. It is useful when you want Git-based deployments, Docker, SSL domains, preview or staging environments and infrastructure control without being locked into a closed cloud platform.
Amhost VPS is suitable for teams that need a dedicated server for Coolify. You choose the resource profile, Linux distribution, location, network settings, backup policy and administration model.

What you can host with Coolify
Web applications and APIs
Node.js, Python, Go, PHP and other stacks, backend services, API gateways, workers and background processes.
Databases and cache
Small and mid-size PostgreSQL/MySQL/Redis workloads with disk, access, backup and restore planning.
Self-hosted tools
n8n, Uptime Kuma, Ghost, internal dashboards, analytics, CMS and automation tools on your own server.
Staging and previews
Separate environments for release testing, migration checks, demos and team development.
Git deployments, Docker and SSL in one workflow
Coolify helps connect repository, build, container, domain and SSL into a deployment workflow. For users, this means less manual work during releases and more control than traditional shared hosting.
Amhost VPS provides the infrastructure layer for this workflow: root access, Linux, custom firewall rules, reverse proxy configuration, persistent volumes, SSH access, monitoring and backup planning.
Developers
Predictable deployment server for applications, APIs, staging and personal projects.
Agencies
Hosting several client projects, internal panels and demo environments.
Small SaaS teams
Production/staging control without vendor lock-in and with room to scale resources.
Typical Coolify VPS architecture
Small projects can run all services on one VPS: Coolify, reverse proxy, SSL, app, database, cache, workers, monitoring and backup. For production workloads, separate applications, databases, backups and build-heavy processes or choose a larger server.
Monitoring, backups and administration
Coolify simplifies application deployment, but the server still needs maintenance: OS updates, disk monitoring, SSH protection, logs, backups and service availability checks.
SSH and firewall
Use SSH keys, open only required ports and restrict administrative access.
Persistent volumes
Application data, databases and uploads should live in volumes with a clear backup strategy.
Monitoring
Track CPU, RAM, disk usage, HTTP availability, log growth and Docker service health.
Updates
Plan updates for Docker, Coolify, the operating system and dependencies without unexpected downtime.

FAQ
Can I install Coolify on Amhost VPS?
Yes. Amhost VPS runs on Apache CloudStack/KVM and is suitable for Linux, SSH access and Docker-ready infrastructure. Before ordering, check your CPU, RAM and disk requirements.
What is the minimum VPS size for Coolify?
A small configuration is enough for testing, but production deployments should include extra CPU, RAM and disk. Docker image builds, databases and multiple apps can increase resource use quickly.
Can I run several apps on one VPS?
Yes, but total load depends on app count, databases, background jobs, logs and deployment frequency. For several production projects, choose a larger configuration or split workloads across servers.
Can Amhost install Coolify for me?
You can install Coolify yourself or request help with server preparation and installation as a separate administration service.
Do I need a domain for Coolify?
For production use, a domain is strongly recommended. It is needed for app access, SSL and a clean workflow. Testing can start on an IP address.
Can I use Coolify for databases?
Yes, but databases require careful disk planning, backups, updates and access control. For critical data, plan backup and restore procedures before launch.
How is Coolify VPS different from shared hosting?
Shared hosting limits system-level control. VPS gives root access, Docker, custom services, reverse proxy, firewall, volumes and a flexible deployment model.
