№ 01 Selector

Three short questions, one deterministic recommendation — the hosting shape that fits what you're running, with a straight line to the right page and a quote. No tracking, no chatbot, just routing.

Where are you starting from? I've built it, it isn't live yet — It's already running somewhere else — Just an idea — nothing built yet What is it? A site / marketing pages — mostly content — An app or API that runs code server-side Does it need a database or saved state? No — Yes

Recommended

## Static hosting on the global edge network

You said it's built, mostly content, and needs no database — a static site is the simplest fit.

However it lands, keep improving it after launch — brief a change, CodeHerder's agent opens a pull request, we ship the merge. [See how the loop works →](https://customhosted.com/loop)

How to read this

Five shapes — one per combination of answers above. The highlighted row matches your answers; without scripting, just match your own situation to the row that fits.

- Static hosting on the global edge network — It's built, it's mostly content, and it doesn't need a database — deploy it to the edge network and it's live on every push, with no server to patch. — [See static hosting →](https://customhosted.com/static)
- Dedicated compute — It runs code server-side, so it needs an instance of its own — sized to the workload, with a static IP and full control over what runs on it. — [See dedicated compute →](https://customhosted.com/dedicated)
- Dedicated compute + managed database — It needs a database or saved state, so it gets a dedicated instance with a managed database attached — provisioned, backed up, and patched together. — [See dedicated compute →](https://customhosted.com/dedicated) — [See managed databases →](https://customhosted.com/databases)
- Move your existing app in — It's already live somewhere else — the job is a clean move, not a rebuild. We stand up a copy, rehearse the cutover, and switch DNS with little-to-no downtime. — [See migrations →](https://customhosted.com/migrate)
- Start with a CustomLabs build, hosted here — There's nothing built yet, so the first move is a build, not a hosting choice — CustomLabs designs and builds the first version, and it lands on this hosting from day one. — [Start with CustomLabs →](https://customlabs.io)

№ 02 FAQ

## Selector questions

The questions this tool raises on its own. General hosting questions live on the homepage.

1. 01 What if it's none of these? Most workloads fit one of the five shapes here, but not every edge case does. If your answers don't feel right, get it quoted directly — describe what you're running and we'll size it, custom stacks included.
2. 02 Can I change shape later? Yes. Start on a static site or a small dedicated instance and move up when you need to — a managed database, more compute, or a full migration in. Nothing here is a one-way door.
3. 03 Do I have to decide now? No — this tool is a starting point, not a contract. Answer the three questions, read the recommendation, and get it quoted when you're ready. There's no form to submit here.
