Free Hono hosting
EasyHost runs Hono, a lightweight 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 Hono builds and runs
| Step | What EasyHost uses |
|---|---|
| Build | your package build script if you have one; skipped otherwise |
| Start | scripts.start, then main, index.js or server.js |
| Runtime env | NODE_ENV=production, PORT=3000, HOST=0.0.0.0 |
Use the @hono/node-server adapter so Hono runs as a Node.js server.
import { serve } from "@hono/node-server";
import { Hono } from "hono";
const app = new Hono();
app.get("/", (c) => c.text("Hello from EasyHost"));
serve({ fetch: app.fetch, port: Number(process.env.PORT), hostname: "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
Bindings from Cloudflare Workers, such as KV or D1, do not exist here. Use process.env, the Postgres database and the S3 bucket.
Apps run in one region, with no edge network, preview deployments or Git integration. One build runs at a time.
