Free Astro hosting
EasyHost runs Astro, a content-focused web framework, in an always-on Node.js container for $0. No credit card is needed, and your agent can deploy it with one instruction.
What you get
- An always-on container with 512 MB of RAM and 1 CPU
- A URL at
<app-slug>.easyhost.fun, plus custom domains with HTTPS - One Postgres 16 database and one S3 bucket per project
- Up to 3 apps and 5 schedules per project
How Astro builds and runs
| Step | What EasyHost uses |
|---|---|
| Build | astro build, through your package build script |
| Start | node ./dist/server/entry.mjs, set as the start command |
| Runtime env | NODE_ENV=production, PORT=3000, HOST=0.0.0.0 |
Install @astrojs/node in standalone mode and use on-demand rendering where you need a server.
import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import node from "@astrojs/node";
export default defineConfig({
output: "server",
adapter: node({ mode: "standalone" }),
});Deploy it
npx ezhst projects create my-project --link npx ezhst apps create my-app npx ezhst link --project <project-slug> --app <app-slug> npx astro add node npx ezhst build set --start "node ./dist/server/entry.mjs" npx ezhst env import .env npx ezhst deploy
Limits and caveats
A purely static Astro site has no Node server, so it needs the Node adapter or a small static file server to run here.
Apps run in one region, with no edge network, preview deployments or Git integration. One build runs at a time.
