​
Two Deployment Models

RepoCloud runs two distinct infrastructure models. Your choice determines what level of access and management you get.

​
Container Apps

Container Apps are managed Docker containers running on a shared container orchestration platform.

​
VPS Apps

VPS Apps are dedicated virtual private servers with full root access.

​
Resource Tiers

Both deployment models share the same base tier structure:
The $3/month tier (1 GB RAM) is only available for Container Apps. VPS instances start at $6/month (2 GB RAM). All tiers include Intel vCPU, NVMe SSD, DDR4 ECC RAM, SSL certificates, custom domain support, and 1 Gbps connections.

​
Additional VPS Costs

VPS instances may incur these additional charges:
  • Snapshots: $0.10 per GB per month of snapshot storage
  • Bandwidth: $0.10 per GB for outbound bandwidth exceeding the free monthly allowance

​
Hardware Specifications

All tiers run on:
  • Intel vCPU processors
  • NVMe SSD storage
  • DDR4 ECC RAM
  • 1 Gbps network connectivity

​
Networking

​
Container Apps

  • Shared IP addresses with traffic routing handled by the orchestration platform
  • Automatic SSL certificate provisioning and renewal via ACME
  • Custom domains via CNAME records (subdomains) or ALIAS/ANAME records (apex domains)
  • No inbound port access beyond HTTP/HTTPS

​
VPS Apps

  • Dedicated IPv4 address per instance (included at no extra charge)
  • Full control over ports, firewall rules, and network configuration
  • SSL managed by the application running on the VPS
  • Custom domains via A records pointing to the dedicated IPv4
  • Browser-based console access from the dashboard

​
Storage

  • Persistent storage: Data persists across container restarts, updates, and reboots
  • NVMe SSDs: High-performance solid-state storage on all tiers
  • VPS snapshots: Point-in-time ZFS snapshots for VPS instances, restorable from the dashboard
RepoCloud does not provide automated backups for Container Apps. Use your application’s built-in backup features (e.g., exporting data, database dumps) to protect your data.

​
Limitations

​
Container Apps

  • No SSH or terminal access
  • No dedicated IPv4 address
  • No server-level customization (only environment variables and Docker image configuration)
  • Cannot install additional system packages

​
VPS Apps

  • No autoscaling (fixed tiers only — resize manually from the manage page)
  • Disk cannot be shrunk when resizing to a smaller tier
  • You are responsible for OS-level security (updates, firewall, SSH hardening)
