CustomHosted · The hosting arm of CustomLabsService area: everywhere

Hosting, runlike a utility.

We build your software at CustomLabs — then we keep it on. Serious infrastructure with management on top: static sites on a global CDN, dedicated instances at flat monthly rates. TLS, backups, monitoring, patching. You never touch a console.

What we run

Two shapes cover almost everything we ship for clients. Both run on the same tier-one infrastructure as the biggest names on the internet — and there's no proprietary platform, nothing you can't take with you.

Static

Global edge network

Marketing sites · docs · SPAs

Your site on the same CDN that serves half the internet. Hundreds of edge locations, TLS everywhere, and a deploy pipeline wired to your repo — push to main, live in minutes.

  • Global CDN with edge caching
  • TLS certificates, auto-renewed
  • DNS managed end to end
  • Deploys from git push or upload
  • Real 404s, redirects, security headers

Dedicated

Dedicated compute

APIs · databases · full applications

A dedicated instance with a fixed monthly price — no per-request billing surprises. We provision it, harden it, patch it, snapshot it nightly, and restart it before you notice.

  • Fixed-price dedicated instance
  • Static IP, TLS-terminating proxy
  • Nightly snapshots, 7-day retention
  • Monitoring, alerts, auto-restart
  • SSH access if you want it — or never
№ 02 Process

Brief to always-on

Hosting shouldn't be a project. Most stacks are live within days of the brief — and because everything is standard, portable infrastructure defined as code, leaving is easy too: we hand the whole thing over, properly.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Tell us what you're running — or what CustomLabs is already building for you. A paragraph is enough; we'll ask the right questions.

  2. 02

    Provision

    We stand up your stack, defined entirely as code: CDN, certificates, DNS, instances, backups. Versioned and repeatable, nothing clicked together.

  3. 03

    Deploy

    We wire deploys to your repo. Push to main and it ships — static sites in minutes, instances via a supervised pipeline.

  4. 04

    Keep watch

    Monitoring, nightly backups, security patches, restarts. When something needs a decision, a human gets in touch — not a ticket bot.

Exit clauseNo lock-in by design. Your domain, your data, the code that defines your stack — exportable on request, every time, at no charge.

№ 03 The difference

Same stack, less of your time

Whatever you run — a static site, a dedicated instance, or a full custom stack — this is the trade you're making, dimension by dimension.

Comparison of running hosting on your own versus with CustomHosted, across going live, TLS and DNS, backups and recovery, monitoring and patching, billing, shipping changes, and getting out.

№ 04 The loop

Ship, then keep shipping.

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. First iteration in hours, not sprints.

    CodeHerder

    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.

    CustomHosted

    Every 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.

№ 05 Proof

Proof, not promises.

The loop above is a claim. Here's the paper trail: the actual pull requests behind this site, and a register of deployments running the same loop for other workloads.

Built in the open96 shipped

96 merged pull requests behind this site itself — latest shipped 27 August 2026.

  1. LG-66 “Our app sends password resets and receipts. Will they still work once you host it?”

    Published the outbound mail path: the records a sending domain adds alongside the ones it already has, why an app calling the machine’s own mail command stops working, and the limits nobody can promise past.

  2. LG-65 “If someone attacks the site, what actually stops them — and where does that stop?”

    Published the perimeter layer by layer, the four different things people mean by an attack, what junk traffic does to the bill, and the honest line where a code change takes over.

  3. LG-64 “What happens to a request between my domain resolving and my page appearing?”

    Published the rules a request meets on the way in — redirects, trailing slashes, a real 404, the cache, and the response headers every page gets by default.

№ 08 The grid

Heavy iron, kept boring.

Your workload runs on the same tier-one infrastructure as the biggest names on the internet — the grid, not a rack in our garage. Our job is reading the meters so you never have to think about what's under the floor.

  • Edge network

    Your site cached in hundreds of cities worldwide, milliseconds from every user, with capacity to shrug off traffic spikes.

  • Object storage

    Eleven nines of durability. Your site and your backups live here, replicated across multiple facilities.

  • Dedicated compute

    Instances with a predictable monthly price — the honest way to buy a server. No per-request arithmetic.

  • DNS

    Name servers with a 100% availability SLA. We manage the records; you keep the domain.

  • Certificates

    TLS issued and renewed automatically. Expiry emails become someone else’s genre of horror.

  • Everything as code

    Every stack defined as code, versioned, and exportable. Nothing is clicked together in a console.

№ 09 Answers

Straight answers.

The questions every brief eventually asks — host any app, save the time a build-out usually costs, and never get stuck with us. Ask something else in the form below.

  1. 01What can you actually host?

    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.

  2. 02How fast can we be live?

    Static sites go live in minutes. Most stacks are live within days of the brief. A fixed monthly quote lands within one business day.

  3. 03How do CustomLabs and CustomHosted fit together?

    CustomLabs builds the first version, CustomHosted keeps it on. One team, brief to production, nothing lost in a handoff.

  4. 04What is CodeHerder and how does it help?

    CodeHerder is agentic iteration on code already hosted with us: brief a change in plain language, an agent opens a pull request, the same pipeline ships the merge. Human-reviewed, versioned — first iteration in hours, not sprints.

  5. 05Am I locked in?

    No. Every stack is defined as code and fully portable; export or a documented handover is free, any time.

  6. 06What do I have to manage?

    Nothing. No consoles. TLS, DNS, daily backups, monitoring, and patching are included, and a human answers.

  7. 07How does pricing work?

    One flat number per month, everything included — no per-request billing, no egress arithmetic.
