How it works
- 01Run dock deployRun
dock deployin your project folder, or connect a GitHub repository. - 02We build itWe detect Flask from
flask 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… Flask→ Found flask in requirements→ pip install -r requirements.txt→ Building image→ Provisioning container + SSL✓ Live at https://my-app.dockhosting.cloud

Compare
Flask needs a WSGI server and a database; shared hosts usually give you neither choice. DockHosting runs you under Gunicorn and attaches a managed PostgreSQL or MySQL in one click.
| Feature | DockHosting | Python shared hosting |
|---|---|---|
| First deploy | pip/Poetry install + Gunicorn start, supervised | CGI or a pre-set WSGI entry you cannot change |
| 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 lineFor a small Flask service you get a real WSGI server, a managed database and a flat price on the Free plan - no server to touch.
Everything you need to know before you deploy your first Flask app.
No - we run your app under Gunicorn. You can override the start command from the dashboard.
