We build your software at CustomLabs. Then we keep it running. We host static sites on a global edge network and dedicated instances at flat monthly rates, and we manage both. TLS, backups, monitoring, and patching are included. You never touch a console.
Two shapes cover most of what we host for clients. See the full stack breakdown. Neither one locks you into a proprietary platform, so you can take your stack with you.
Marketing sites · docs · SPAs
Your site runs on a global edge network with caching close to the reader. TLS renews on its own, and deploys wire straight to your repo. Push to main, and it goes live in minutes.
How static hosting worksWhat a request meets on the way in
APIs · databases · full applications
A dedicated instance at one fixed monthly price, with no per-request billing. We provision it, harden it, patch it, and snapshot it every night. A failure triggers a restart and alerts a person.
What a visitor sees during a restart
Hosting shouldn't be a project. Most stacks go live within days of the brief. Everything is defined as code, so leaving is easy too. We hand the whole thing over, properly.
Tell us what you're running, or what CustomLabs is already building for you. A paragraph is enough. We'll ask what else we need.
We stand up your stack from code: the edge network, certificates, DNS, instances, and backups. Every change is versioned. Nothing is clicked together by hand.
We connect deploys to your repo. Push to main, and it ships. Static sites go live in minutes. A dedicated instance ships through a supervised pipeline.
We monitor the stack, back it up nightly, and patch it. When something needs a decision, a person contacts you.
Exit clauseNo lock-in by design. Everything that defines your stack exports on request, at no charge.
Whatever you run — a static site, a dedicated instance, or a full custom stack — this is the trade you're making, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | On your own | With CustomHosted |
|---|---|---|
| Go live | Provision servers, wire DNS, request certs, debug the pipeline. | One brief. Static sites live in minutes, most stacks within days. |
| TLS & DNS | Issue and renew certificates, manage DNS records yourself. | Issued, renewed, and managed end to end — you never touch it. |
| Backups & recovery | Script snapshots, test restores, hope they work. | Nightly snapshots with retention, restores we own. |
| Monitoring & patching | Watch dashboards, chase CVEs, patch at 2am. | Monitored around the clock and patched on a schedule. A failure triggers a restart and alerts a person. What a visitor sees during a restart → |
| The bill | Per-request billing, egress arithmetic, surprise invoices. | One flat monthly rate. A fair-use transfer allowance is on the rate card. See how a month is billed → |
| Shipping a change | Find dev time, write the ticket, wait for a release cycle. | Brief it in plain language. A CodeHerder agent opens a pull request, and CI ships the merge once a person reviews it. |
| Getting out | Untangle a proprietary dashboard to leave. | Defined as code and fully portable — a free, documented handover any time. |
CustomLabs builds the first version. Because it's already hosted here and defined as code, CodeHerder's agents can iterate on it directly. Brief a change in plain language. An agent opens a pull request, and the same pipeline ships the merge.
Design and build the first version with the consultancy that also runs it. One team takes it from brief to production, so nothing is lost in a handoff.
customlabs.io ↗Agentic, automated iteration on the code that's already live with us. Brief a change, an agent implements it on a branch and opens a pull request, CI ships the merge. Human-reviewed, versioned, repeatable.
Our productEvery stack is defined as code and deploys straight from your repo, so the loop closes on the same pipeline we monitor, back up, and patch. Merge, and it's live.

A real change to this site. See the case file.
The loop above is a claim. Here's the paper trail: the actual pull requests behind this site, and worked examples showing the same loop priced for other workloads.
132 merged pull requests behind this site itself — latest shipped 3 October 2026.
LG-91 “Your homepage says things your own pages say are not true.”
Rewrote the homepage against the facts the rest of the site already publishes, and replaced its invented CodeHerder demo with a real change drawn from the case files.
LG-90 “We run a plain Node API. Your stack list names it, but there is nothing to read.”
Added the Node API page the stack register was missing, then derived every stack page's navigation link from that register so none stay unlinked.
LG-89 “Our app signs people in. Which part of that do you handle, and which part is ours?”
Published what a login needs and who supplies it, where a session lives, what a release does to one, and this site's own login: there is not one.
One thing we can measure is this site: 87 routes, with a median page weight of 17.2 KB. Worked examples show the same loop priced for other workloads.
IterateBrief a homepage swap for a seasonal campaign in plain language. An agent opens a pull request against the templates. A human reviews it, and the same pipeline ships it.
IterateBrief a driver-idle-time report for the dashboard. An agent writes the query and the chart, then opens a pull request. A human reviews it before it ships.
IterateBrief a usage-based billing tier. One pull request touches the pricing model, the worker that meters usage, and the billing screen together. A human reviews it before it ships.
Utilities publish their rates, so we do too. One number per month, everything included — no per-request billing, no egress arithmetic, no invoice archaeology.

No setup fee on any plan. Either side can end the service at any time. It stops at the close of the current monthly cycle, with no early-termination fee. A documented handover is free, any time — see Portability for the full pack. Rates can change, with 30 days' notice before a new one takes effect on your account.
Read your own meter instead of waiting on a quote. Pick a base plan, add what you need, and the rate updates live — send it straight to the form when you're done.
Your workload runs on the grid, not a rack in our garage. See the full stack breakdown. We read the meters, so you never have to think about what's under the floor.
The edge network answers the crowd. Static Pro and its siblings have no server to queue behind — the only real limit is transfer, and transfer is priced flat. The median page on this site weighs 17.2 KB.
Eleven nines of durability. Your site and your backups live here, replicated across multiple facilities.
Instances with a predictable monthly price — the honest way to buy a server. No per-request arithmetic.
We manage the name servers and the records. You keep the domain and the final say over where it points.
TLS is issued at cutover and renewed automatically, well ahead of the expiry date.
See the record sheet →Every stack defined as code, versioned, and exportable. Nothing is clicked together in a console.

The questions every brief eventually asks. Ask us something else in the form below.
Any app. Two standard shapes cover most work: static sites on a global edge network, and dedicated compute at a flat monthly rate. Anything else — APIs, databases, queues, background workers, full stacks — we design and quote flat. If it runs on a server, we can run it.
Static sites go live in minutes. Most stacks are live within days of the brief. A fixed monthly quote lands within one business day.
CustomLabs builds the first version, CustomHosted keeps it on. One team, brief to production, nothing lost in a handoff.
CodeHerder is agentic iteration on code already hosted with us. Brief a change in plain language. An agent opens a pull request. Once a person reviews it, the same pipeline ships the merge.
No. Either side can end the service at any time, with no early-termination fee. A documented handover is free. The Portability page lists what moves with you and what stops.
About 55 minutes of your own time at move-in. That covers DNS access, your secrets, and a sign-off on the go-live window. After that we manage the infrastructure: TLS, backups, monitoring, and patching. Your application code stays yours to run.
One flat number per month. The rate card lists a fair-use transfer allowance.
Tell us what you're running — or what we're building for you — and you'll have a fixed monthly rate within one business day. No discovery calls unless you want one.
