Only fair I think to highlight that essentially this exact service is also offered by Coolify themselves as a subscription which is $5/mo ($4/mo if you pay annually).

I haven't used this service myself because I found self-hosting Coolify to be easy enough, but I think it would be useful to have a side-by-side comparison between this service (Indiehost) and Coolify Cloud.

    Great point thank you - will add a section on this to the landing page

    Indiehost is even more of an abstraction (sign in with cloud provider and we do the rest) vs. Coolify Cloud still requires configuring your servers + resources + understanding of Coolify (e.g. proxies, redirects, ssh keys, backups, etc.)

    Of course, the abstraction has its drawbacks (limited control) and I always recommend self-hosting. It's a template for the most common scenarios for new devs/app devs who may shy away from self-hosting for many reasons (takes too much time, not-reliable, fear of the unknown)

Just so people know, if you sign up you go on a waitlist which is basically specified in the 'not what to do' section in the ShowHN guidelines.

    Ah thanks for pointing this out - was not familiar with that rule

    Deleting and moving to regular submission

why would I use this when I can use railway.app and coolify themselves for $5?
