Host Multiple Docker Apps on One Compute Resource — No Extra Fees

Tired of paying per app just to host your projects? Yeah, we were too.

Platforms like Heroku, Render, or Fly.io bill you for every single app. A staging environment? That's extra. A background worker? Extra. Before you know it, your monthly bill looks like a multi-cloud enterprise invoice.


🧠 What if you could run them all — under one resource?

At Miget.com, you pay once for a compute resource, then run as many Docker apps on it as you like.
No extra app fees. No surprises. And no — this isn't a VPS.

This is Cloud Native Computing — built on Kubernetes, fully managed, with autoscaling and networking out of the box.


🆓 Start Free. Scale When You're Ready.

Pay as you go vs Miget

Getting started on Miget costs you nothing.

Every account comes with a free tier:
0.1 CPU and 256 Mi RAM — perfect for side projects, staging apps, or just trying things out.

No credit card required. No time limits. No nonsense.

And when your app outgrows that free tier?

👉 Simply add more CPU or RAM as you need it
👉 Or upgrade to a flat, predictable plan — like the Medium plan with 1 CPU and 2 GiB RAM for just $14.99/month

No surprises. No per-app pricing.
Just the resources you need, when you need them.

Start small. Grow big. Stay in control.


💸 Pricing: Miget vs Others

What if you’re not overpaying for cloud hosting — just overcomplicating it?

Let's say you're launching a typical Ruby on Rails app on a popular pay-as-you-go platform like Render, Fly, or Heroku.

Here's what you'd need:

  1. A web app container (0.5 CPU, 512MB RAM) — $7
  2. A managed PostgreSQL database (0.5 CPU, 1GB RAM) — $19
  3. A key-value store for caching or background jobs (256MB RAM, 250 connections) — $10

Based on Render - That's $36/month — for 1 CPU and 1.7 GB of memory, split across three separate services.

Now imagine you could run the exact same setup on Miget...

👉 1 CPU, 2 GiB RAM — $14.99/month
👉 Web, Postgres, Redis, and more — all run as containers under your control
👉 No extra charges. No vendor lock-in.
👉 And yes — autoscaling is included.

Pay as you go vs Miget

One compute resource. One predictable cost.
Welcome to Miget.

Stop paying per app and start deploying your entire stack on a single resource with predictable pricing.


🚫 This Isn't a VPS — It's Better

Unlike a VPS (Virtual Private Server), you don't need to install, secure, or manage anything manually.

  • No OS patching
  • No container runtime setup
  • No firewalls or NGINX configs to wrangle

Miget is fully managed, container-native, and built on Kubernetes with a Fair Scheduler — so your apps scale and share resources efficiently.
If a VPS is a blank canvas, Miget is an optimized platform where your containers just run — with built-in autoscaling, networking, monitoring, and TLS.


🛠️ Note on Docker Compose

Using docker-compose? Miget doesn’t support docker-compose.yml files yet.

To deploy your project, simply break it down into separate apps — one per Dockerfile. Each service (e.g. web, Postgres, Redis) becomes its own app or container, but all can share a single compute resource.

We’re working on native docker-compose support — stay tuned!


🚀 Launch Smarter

Start free, autoscale for free, and only pay when you really need more performance.

👉 Create your free Miget account — and launch your apps in minutes.
