Render

Unified cloud for hosting web services, APIs, databases and static sites

About Render

Render is a unified cloud platform for hosting web services, APIs, background workers, cron jobs, static sites and managed PostgreSQL and Redis. You deploy from Git with automatic builds and previews, get TLS, DDoS protection and global CDN distribution by default, and can define everything as infrastructure-as-code with Blueprints. It positions itself as a simpler alternative to raw cloud consoles while still supporting Docker and private networking for serious workloads. It is aimed at startups, indie hackers and teams shipping production apps. Free tiers cover static sites and small trial services; paid instances and workspace plans scale from hobby projects upward.
