How it works
From catalog to running app.
-
Pick an app and a plan
Browse the catalog, compare plans, and choose the one that fits.
-
Pay
Subscribe securely — we never see or store your card, our payment provider does.
-
Your app is live
It runs at yourslug.poof.run, secured with HTTPS — manage it anytime from your account.
Infrastructure
How it actually runs.
-
Shared machines, isolated containers On a shared plan, your app runs in its own containers on a server in the EU — it never touches another customer’s data.
-
One certificate, every subdomain Traefik terminates HTTPS with a single wildcard certificate, so every app gets it automatically.
-
From order to live Pay, and the panel provisions your app on a server, checks it's healthy, and brings it online — no manual step.
-
A machine of your own Choose a dedicated plan and your app gets a server no other customer shares, in the region you pick, in the EU or the US. See the roadmap
What's included
Hosting, handled. Nothing to configure.
-
HTTPS includedEvery app gets a trusted certificate on its own subdomain, automatically — nothing to request or renew.
-
Updates without downtimeNew versions of your app roll out while it keeps serving traffic.
-
EU by defaultShared plans run in Frankfurt. A dedicated server runs in the region you pick, in the EU or the US.
-
We watch it around the clockAutomated health checks keep an eye on your app, day and night.
-
Pause and resume with billingMiss a payment and your app is suspended, not deleted — pay again and it's back, unchanged.
-
Cancel anytimeCancel whenever you like; your app keeps running until the period you've already paid for ends.
Coming next
On the roadmap, and what's already here.

-
Public API Available
Read your apps, their operations and backups with a workspace token, and order a backup from a script or CI.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When can I sign up?
As soon as our final tests pass. We do not name a date until it is real — follow us and you will hear the day the doors open.
What can I run?
Pick any application from our catalog, choose a plan, and it's deployed as a running instance within minutes.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel from your account whenever you like. Your app keeps running until the period you've already paid for ends, and we don't charge a cancellation fee.
Where is my data stored?
Shared plans run in the EU, in Frankfurt. A dedicated server runs in the region you pick when you order it, in the EU or the US. Copies of the data are always kept in the EU. Our infrastructure provider is Amazon Web Services.
Do you back up my data?
Yes. While your application runs, we copy its data on a regular schedule, at least once a week, without stopping it, and we also take a copy when we stop, upgrade or delete it. We keep each copy for 30 days, and if something goes wrong, we restore your application from any of them when you ask us. You can't restore from a copy yourself, so keep your own copy of anything you can't afford to lose. See what's on the roadmap
What happens to my app after I cancel?
It's stopped, not deleted: your app and its data are kept for 30 days, and you can bring it back online anytime simply by paying again. Once that window closes, we permanently delete it.
What if I'm not happy with my purchase?
Ask for a refund within 14 days of your first payment and you'll get it in full, no questions asked.
Opening soon.
We are finishing the last checks on deployments, billing and backups. Sign-ups open the moment they pass.
