When EasyHost fits

  • Side projects, prototypes and small apps written for Node.js
  • Projects where an AI agent handles deployment through a CLI
  • Apps that need to stay on for free

When Netlify is the better choice

  • You need multiple regions, autoscaling or a production support plan
  • You want Git-based deploys or preview environments
  • Your app goes beyond what 512 MB of RAM and 1 CPU can handle

How to move

Read the Netlify migration guide. If you have a database there, EasyHost's Postgres accepts a normal pg_dump.

Frequently asked questions

Is EasyHost a full replacement for Netlify?

Not for every app. It runs Node.js only, in one region, with fixed limits. It suits small apps that fit those limits.
