Cantila

Ship anything, live — from one chat.

The VPS-powered hosting cloud where websites, apps, and AI agents ship from a single chat — with the domain, database, email and SMS already wired in. Drop files in. Cantila detects the stack. You get a URL.

One platform

Eight services. One account. One bill.

Cantila is hosting plus the four things every real product needs around it. Each one is a first-party Cantila service — not a third-party billed through us.

Cantila Host

The hosting engine — VPS fleet, containers, deploys.

Cantila Deploy

Drop files in. Cantila detects the stack. You get a URL.

Cantila Data

Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, Redis — one click, in your env.

Cantila Domains

Registrar + DNS. Auto-wired SSL and email records.

Cantila Agents

An always-on operations brain for your fleet.

Cantila Automations

n8n + OpenClaw, native — one builder, one login.

Cantila Mail

Full email — send, receive, mailboxes, IMAP. First-party MTA.

Cantila SMS

Send and receive SMS and voice from numbers you own.

Cantila Mail lands in Phase 2 · Cantila SMS lands in Phase 3. See the changelog.

Distribution channel

Ship to Cantila from anywhere you use Claude.

Add the Cantila MCP server once. From then on, any app built inside Claude can deploy to Cantila by asking — "ship this to Cantila, with a Postgres and a custom domain".

cantila_deploy — ship a project, get a live URL
cantila_provision_db — managed Postgres / Mongo / Redis
cantila_add_domain — attach a domain, issue SSL
cantila_get_logs · cantila_set_env · cantila_rollback
Stdio for local Claude Code, HTTP for the hosted Claude app

One-click

The persistent things, ready to ship.

n8n, OpenClaw, LibreChat, Flowise, Ghost, Strapi — anything that needs to never sleep. Pick a template; Cantila provisions the VPS, the database, the domain, and ships it.

Where we sit

Between the polished-but-narrow app platforms and the powerful-but-raw VPS world.

The full comparison lives in the plan. The short version:

vs Replit

Hosting-first. Persistent VPS, bundled services, no editor lock-in.

vs Vercel / Netlify

Runs persistent processes and stateful agents, not just functions.

vs Render / Railway

Adds first-party domains, email, SMS, and a chat / MCP deploy front door.

vs Coolify / Dokploy

Fully managed and multi-tenant. Bring-your-own VPS optional.

Pricing

Start free. Pay for what you ship.

Hobby is genuinely useful — a small app, a *.cantila.app subdomain, an auto-wired Postgres. Real custom domains, always-on apps, and higher quotas start at $10.
