Run Coolify on a Volt Serv VPS
An open-source, self-hosted PaaS — your own Heroku/Vercel.
What is Coolify?
Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable platform-as-a-service. It gives you a clean dashboard to deploy applications, databases, and services with Git integration, automatic HTTPS, and one-click backups — without the per-seat or per-build pricing of Heroku, Vercel, or Netlify. Because it runs on your own VPS, you can host unlimited projects and keep full control of your stack.
Good to know: A self-hosted alternative to Heroku, Vercel, Netlify, and Render.
Why run Coolify on a Volt Serv VPS

- Host unlimited apps and databases instead of paying per project
- NVMe SSD and generous RAM for smooth multi-container workloads
