Features
Async workers
We run your app under Uvicorn/Gunicorn with async workers.
Git Push Deploy
Push to your repo and we build and deploy your API with zero downtime.
Managed Databases
Add PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Redis with one click. DATABASE_URL set automatically.
pip & Poetry
We detect requirements.txt or pyproject.toml and install with the right tool automatically.
How it works
- 01Run dock deployRun
dock deployin your project folder, or connect a GitHub repository. - 02We build itWe detect FastAPI from
fastapi in requirements, install dependencies and build an image. - 03It goes liveYour app gets a container, free SSL and a live https://….dockhosting.cloud URL.
$ dock deploy→ Detecting framework… FastAPI→ Found fastapi in requirements→ pip install -r requirements.txt→ Building image→ Provisioning container + SSL✓ Live at https://my-app.dockhosting.cloud

Compare
FastAPI is async, and that is exactly what most Python shared hosts are not. DockHosting runs you under Uvicorn with async workers and attaches a managed database on the private network.
| Feature | DockHosting | Python shared hosting |
|---|---|---|
| First deploy | pip/Poetry install + Uvicorn with async workers | A sync WSGI setup that forces async apps into threads |
| Runtime & dependencies | Auto-detected and matched to your lockfile | Whatever version the host pinned at signup |
| HTTPS | Automatic Let's Encrypt on your subdomain and custom domains | Manual certificate setup and renewal (or a paid add-on) |
| Process supervision | Automatic restarts and zero-downtime releases | You babysit it, or hope the panel restarts it |
| Managed database | 1 included on Free, unlimited on Pro/Team | Host it yourself, or pay for a separate add-on |
| Idle / always-on | Sleep + instant wake (Free) or always-on (Pro/Team) | You pay for an idle server 24/7 |
| Pricing | Flat $0 / $4 / $9 / $19 per month, no metering | Server cost + setup fees + your time |
The bottom lineAsync APIs get the Uvicorn/Gunicorn setup and a managed PostgreSQL without you assembling or maintaining any of it.
Everything you need to know before you deploy your first FastAPI app.
Fully supported - we run your app under Uvicorn/Gunicorn with async workers.
