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.
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
| Step | What EasyHost uses |
|---|---|
| Build | nest build, through your package build script |
| Start | scripts.start, which you should point at the compiled output |
| Runtime env | NODE_ENV=production, PORT=3000, HOST=0.0.0.0 |
Run the compiled app with node dist/main and listen on process.env.PORT.
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
Is NestJS hosting on EasyHost really free?
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.
