The service bills RAM at $0.005 per GB-hour only while a server is awake, charges $0.10 per GB of egress and $0.25 per GB-month of disk with CPU free, and gives verified users $2.25 in monthly free credit — enough, the company says, to run a 512 MB server 24/7 for a month free. Each project runs in a gVisor-sandboxed container with hard CPU and RAM limits, and servers sleep when idle by default unless created with `{\"never_sleep\":true}`.", "body_md": "On an HTTPS subdomain — or **your own domain**. **Free forever**, no credit card — for the apps you vibe-code with Claude Code / Cursor / Codex. Say this to your agent — that's your whole involvement:\n\nThat's it. Your agent reads the skill, gets a real Ubuntu box with root SSH and a live HTTPS subdomain, and ships your project there. No dashboard, no signup, no MCP.\n\n`$ curl -sX POST https://thevibehosting.com/create`\n↳ returns an SSH command (root), a live https://abc123.thevibehosting.com, and your api_key (vibe_…).\n\nClaude Code, Codex, Cursor — anything. That's your whole involvement: no dashboard, no signup, no setup.\n\nOne `POST /create` — no key needed — hands back a **root SSH** command, a live **HTTPS subdomain** (valid TLS) and an `api_key`.\n\n`ssh root@… · https://abc123.thevibehosting.com`\nIt's a real Ubuntu box — `apt install`, run a DB, a worker, a bot. Serve on :80 from `/root/www` or `/root/run.sh`.\n\n`apt install … → run your app on :80`\nBy default a server sleeps when idle (RAM freed, wakes in 1–3 s) — still reachable 24/7, and it barely touches your free credit. Need zero cold starts? create it with `{\"never_sleep\":true}` — billed by real RAM 24/7.\n\nNo dashboard to babysit. List, rename, expose a port, sleep/wake, check live usage & billing — all over plain REST. `GET /account/billing` shows your balance, burn rate and runway.\n\nA real session, replayed: one call for root + TLS, a file into `/root/www`, a 200 from your subdomain. Then it's your call — let it sleep, or keep it always-on.\n\nA genuinely free tier, then pay only for what runs. RAM is billed only while the server is awake — CPU is always free.\n\nAnonymous & instant — great for a quick deploy. A small app that sleeps when idle stays free.\n\nOne SMS unlocks the real free tier — **2.5× the free credit**, bigger servers, as many as you want. A **512 MB server runs 24/7 all month free.**\n\nPast your free credit — pay only for what runs: RAM **$0.005** / GB-hour (awake only) · Egress **$0.10** / GB · Disk **$0.25** / GB-month · CPU **free**. From prepaid credit, no plans.\n    \n\nno plans · set {\"never_sleep\":true} · first $2.25/mo free, then billed by real RAM · + disk $0.25 / GB-mo\n\nVibe hosting is hosting built for vibe coding: you don't configure servers, your AI coding agent does. You tell Claude Code, Cursor or Codex one sentence, and the agent creates its own Linux server, sets up HTTPS and ships your app. No dashboard, no signup, no deploy pipeline to learn.\n\nA real root Linux server (Ubuntu) on its own HTTPS subdomain, created with one curl — no dashboard to babysit. The twist: you choose whether it stays always-on or sleeps when idle to save credit.\n\nNo signup, no API key to configure, no MCP to install. You get root in seconds and an `api_key` (`vibe_…`) is issued automatically on the first `POST /create` call. Save it — it's your account credential.\n\nYour choice, per server. By default it scales to zero when idle (RAM freed, wakes in seconds) so you pay only for awake time. To pin it always-on, create it with `{\"never_sleep\":true}` (verified phone) or flip it any time via `POST /servers/{id}/never-sleep` — no cold starts, billed by the RAM it actually uses 24/7. Because RAM is billed **only while awake** at $0.005/GB-hour, your monthly free credit ($2.25 verified) runs a 512 MB server 24/7 for a whole month free; a 1 GB box 24/7 ≈ $1.35/mo after the credit. Top up via `POST /account/recharge`. No plans.\n\nEach project runs in a gVisor-sandboxed container with hard CPU/RAM limits, fully isolated from the host and every other tenant. Outbound SMTP is blocked and abuse is suspended.\n\nYes — that's what it's for. Whatever you built with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Lovable or Bolt: a static site, a Python or Node app, a bot, an API with a database. Tell your agent *“Fetch thevibehosting.com/SKILL.md and deploy it there”* and it ships it. Step by step: [how to host a vibe-coded website](https://thevibehosting.com/blog/how-to-host-a-vibe-coded-website).\n\nNo. Servers are created without signup and without a card, and every account gets free credit each month ($0.90 anonymous, $2.25 with a verified phone). A card only comes in if you choose to top up. Details: [free hosting, no credit card](https://thevibehosting.com/free-hosting).\n\nAnything that runs on Ubuntu: static sites, Flask/FastAPI/Django, Node/Express/Next.js, Go, a database, cron jobs, a [Discord or Telegram bot](https://thevibehosting.com/blog/host-a-discord-bot-free), a [remote MCP server](https://thevibehosting.com/mcp-server-hosting). Static files go to `/root/www`; an app starts from `/root/run.sh` on port 80 and is restarted if it crashes.\n\nWithout signup you get a 256 MB server that sleeps when idle and $0.90/month of credit. A verified phone raises it to $2.25/month, up to 2 GB RAM (4 GB with paid credit), always-on servers and your own domains.\n\nYes, with a verified phone: point an A record (apex) or a CNAME (subdomain) at us, register it via the API, and HTTPS is issued automatically. Up to 3 domains per server.\n\nYes. Installed packages and every file on the server persist across sleep, wake and restarts. Only RAM is freed while a server sleeps.\n\nYou get a whole Linux server with root that your coding agent creates and runs by itself through an API — not a function runtime, an in-browser IDE or a Git-push pipeline.
