“Hostman” offers platform to deploy Web apps — Startup alert
Cloud hosting is expensive; especially for small businesses or startups. Often, even traditional non-Cloud hosting is expensive since there are so many necessary add-ons to make sure your servers are secure & quick, which include securing the services of a CDN & installing an SSL certificate.
“Hostman” is a Cloud hosting provider that promises to deploy applications hosted on repositories such as GitHub, Bitbucket & GitLab at the click of a button — taking care of spinning up servers, uploading Content to CDNs & serving secure pages from applications with zero user input.
One of the min features about Hostman is that they offer to host, monitor & protect static Websites on their platform free of charge. Back-end driven Sites, however, fall under their pay-for-services banner, but Hostman offers a transparent, scaled system of hosting, where users know exactly what they’re getting in advance, & all services include a free SSL certificate & a free CDN.
CDNs are necessary to deliver Content, quickly to the end user. They work by hosting servers around the globe, so that end-users receive Content fast, from the point nearest to them — these services are rarely free & they take time & effort to set up, install, monitor & run. Hostman offers this service as a default, & it’s free.
Hostman supports many of the most popular architectural languages & databases, which include Vue, Javascript, Python, Ruby, React, Mysql & MangoDB. Built on top of AWS & DigitalOcean, the platform offers the most reliable & secure systems in the hosting arena.
As a Website or application developer, one of the hardest things to do is to set up testing facilities for your code. Once you’ve decided on deploying a new subset of your app, being able to effectively roll the commit back to the correct section (a commit sends code to a repository, such as a Github). Hostman allows users to “see” each commit & roll back to the correct code at the click of a button.
Your services are hosted on AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, & Digital Ocean, but for now, you cannot choose the Cloud platform.
