App hosting for Claude
Built an app with Claude? Put it live on a real server: a development space to build on, a production space on your own domain, a CDN and automatic backups. PHP and MySQL as standard, with Node.js and Python when your app needs them.
What app hosting for Claude means
Claude can write a booking tool, a client portal or a small SaaS product in an afternoon. Keeping it running is the part that needs a server: somewhere the code runs all day, a database that keeps its data, your domain with SSL, backups, and people to call when something on the hosting side needs a human.
App hosting for Claude is that server. Claude CMS connects Claude to it through its connector, so Claude writes the files, runs the code and manages the database directly, and we look after everything underneath.
A real server, not a preview link
Your app runs on a managed server on your own domain, so real people can sign up, pay and come back.
Build safely, then go live
Build on a development space at a claude-cms.com address, then copy the finished app to production in one press.
Backed up twice
Automatic off-site backups, plus full backups of your files and database to a Google Drive folder shared with you.
Delivered through a CDN
Pages and files go out through a content delivery network, so the app stays quick for the people using it.
Apps you can host
Anything that runs on PHP, Node.js or Python, with a database behind it. PHP is on for every space. Pick Python or Node.js in the setup form after you buy and it is switched on for your account, with the app at its own address next to your site, such as app.yourdomain.com, or on a domain of its own.
PHP apps
Custom PHP apps, admin tools, APIs and webhooks, on the latest PHP with MySQL or SQLite.
Node.js apps
Express APIs, dashboards and other Node.js apps. Choose Node.js in the setup form and it is switched on for your account.
Python apps
Flask, Django and other Python web apps. Choose Python in the setup form and it is switched on for your account.
Static sites and front ends
HTML, CSS and JavaScript, including built React, Vue or Svelte apps.
Databases
MySQL for most apps, or SQLite when a single file is simpler. Your data stays on your server.
Payments and email
Stripe payments into your own account, and email sent from your domain over SMTP, ready when the app needs them.
Spaces run on managed Plesk servers. Not a fit: GPU work, or streaming large video libraries, which is what video hosting is for.

1. Buy Setup + Monthly with hosting
Hosting is ticked for you at checkout. The setup form then asks if you need a Python or Node.js app too, and we create your development space with Claude CMS installed and connected to Claude.
2. Build it with Claude
Tell Claude what the app should do. It writes the code and the database on the development space, and you test it there.
3. Go live on your domain
Connect your domain and copy the finished work to production. A Python or Node.js app runs at its own address, such as app.yourdomain.com, or on a domain of its own.
Backups you do not have to think about
Two kinds, so a bad change or a bad day on the server never costs you the app.
Automatic off-site backups
Your files and database are backed up away from the server as standard, with nothing to set up.
Full backups to Google Drive
Switch on full backups of your files and database, zipped into a Google Drive folder shared with you: daily, weekly or on demand, keeping the last seven.
App hosting for Claude: common questions
What is app hosting for Claude?
A managed server for the apps you build with Claude. Claude CMS connects Claude to it, so Claude writes the files, runs the code and manages the database directly, on a development space and on a production space on your own domain.
Can I host a Node.js app?
Yes. Choose Node.js in the setup form after you buy and it is switched on for your account. The app runs next to your site at its own address, such as app.yourdomain.com, or on a domain of its own. Express APIs, dashboards and other Node.js apps run on it.
Can I host a Python app?
Yes. Choose Python in the setup form after you buy and it is switched on for your account, at its own address such as app.yourdomain.com or on a domain of its own. Flask, Django and other Python web apps run on it.
How much does app hosting cost?
Setup + Monthly is £9.99 a month and managed hosting is £9.99 a month, so £19.98 in total, with the first month free. Hosting is ticked for you at checkout.
What is the difference between the development and production spaces?
The development space is your own address on claude-cms.com, where Claude builds and you test. The production space is your app on your own domain, with its own database and its own Claude connection. When you are happy, one press copies the finished work across.
How are backups handled?
Off-site backups run automatically. You can also switch on full backups, which zip your files and database into a Google Drive folder shared with you, daily, weekly or on demand, keeping the last seven.
Is there a CDN?
Yes. App hosting includes a CDN, so your pages and files are delivered through a content delivery network.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Add an A record and a CNAME at your registrar and we connect it with you. Full steps: connecting a custom domain.
What is not a good fit?
GPU work and streaming large video libraries. For video, see video hosting. If you are unsure, ask us before you build.
