Free NestJS hosting

EasyHost runs NestJS, a structured Node.js backend framework, in an always-on Node.js container for $0. No credit card is needed, and your agent can deploy it with one instruction.

Last updated November 9, 2026

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 NestJS builds and runs

StepWhat EasyHost uses
Buildnest build, through your package build script
Startscripts.start, which you should point at the compiled output
Runtime envNODE_ENV=production, PORT=3000, HOST=0.0.0.0

Run the compiled app with node dist/main and listen on process.env.PORT.

src/main.ts
import { NestFactory } from "@nestjs/core";
import { AppModule } from "./app.module";

const bootstrap = async () => {
  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
  await app.listen(Number(process.env.PORT), "0.0.0.0");
};

bootstrap();

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 build set --start "node dist/main"
npx ezhst env import .env
npx ezhst deploy

Limits and caveats

The default start script runs nest start, which recompiles at boot. Use node dist/main so the 512 MB container is not spent on compiling.

Apps run in one region, with no edge network, preview deployments or Git integration. One build runs at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. It costs $0 per month with no credit card and no trial period, within the published limits.

Does my NestJS app sleep when idle?

No. EasyHost apps run in an always-on container and do not sleep when idle.

Do I need a Dockerfile for NestJS?

No. EasyHost builds an image from your source using the commands it detects or the ones you set.
