Free Express hosting
EasyHost runs Express, a minimal Node.js 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 Express builds and runs
| Step | What EasyHost uses |
|---|---|
| Build | your package build script if you have one, for example tsc; skipped otherwise |
| Start | scripts.start, then main, index.js or server.js |
| Runtime env | NODE_ENV=production, PORT=3000, HOST=0.0.0.0 |
Listen on process.env.PORT and bind to 0.0.0.0.
import express from "express";
const app = express();
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("Hello from EasyHost");
});
app.listen(Number(process.env.PORT), "0.0.0.0");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 ezhst env import .env npx ezhst deploy
Limits and caveats
Files written to local disk disappear on the next deploy. Store uploads in the S3 bucket instead.
Apps run in one region, with no edge network, preview deployments or Git integration. One build runs at a time.
