Most developers use multiple platforms for complete hosting - frontend deployment, databases, and object storage across different providers. Sevalla consolidates everything into one platform: static sites, app deployment, databases, and object storage.
Sevalla keeps things simple. Pay only what you use - no subscription tiers, no locked features, no per-user charges. One dashboard, one bill.
Keep reading to learn how Sevalla can simplify your hosting setup.
Key Features
Sevalla handles four main services from a single dashboard.
Static Site Hosting. This is completely free and pretty generous - 100 sites per account, 100GB bandwidth per month, and 600 build minutes. Your sites get deployed across 260+ global edge locations through Cloudflare, so they load fast everywhere. Connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repo and it auto-deploys whenever you push changes. I deployed a simple site in about 2 minutes after connecting my repository. I doubt I'll ever exceed the free tier with my personal blog and small tools I've developed over the past years.
Application Hosting. Deploy full apps across 25 data centers worldwide. Sevalla supports most popular languages and frameworks, and custom Docker images for everything else. You get auto-scaling, persistent disk storage if you need it, and zero-downtime deployments with health checks. There's also a live web terminal you can access right from your browser, plus background workers for recurring tasks.
Database Hosting. Managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and others with dedicated resources - no sharing with other users. You get automatic daily backups with 7-day retention, and your apps connect privately to your database, isolated from the public internet. Starts at $5/month and scales up as needed.
Object Storage. S3-compatible storage at $0.02 per GB with zero ingress or egress fees (AWS charges $0.09/GB of egress). Six global locations to choose from if you need to keep data in specific regions.
No Pricing Games. Unlike most platforms, everyone gets access to all features. No "Pro" tier to unlock basic functionality, no per-seat pricing that gets expensive as your team grows. You just pay for the server resources and storage you actually use. Static hosting stays free forever.
Getting Started
Setup is straightforward. You can sign up without a credit card and immediately start using static hosting. For apps and databases, you get $50 in free credits that last 2 months.
Deploying your first site takes 2 minutes thanks to Git integration. You connect your repository, pick a branch, and Sevalla handles the rest. The platform provides sensible defaults for most common scenarios, but you can configure things if you need more control.
One thing to note: build framework detection isn't as smart as some competitors. I had to manually set the build command and output directory for my Zola blog. Not a big deal, but it adds an extra step.
Who Should Use This
Sevalla works well for developers who want simplicity without sacrificing functionality. If you're building side projects, client websites, or running a growing startup, having everything in one place is really convenient.
You get one dashboard for everything, so you can focus on what matters. And personally, never having to log into the AWS console ever again is the biggest win.
Sevalla is not suited for users who want to build a site from scratch rather than deploy ready-made pages.

Keep in Mind
Sevalla delivers on its simplicity promise, but there are some rough edges worth knowing about. The analytics dashboard can be slow to load initially, and there are some UI inconsistencies, though nothing that breaks core functionality.
The platform isn't as feature-rich as AWS or Google Cloud, but in return you get a much more user-friendly dashboard while still covering most use cases. For typical web projects, that's actually a pretty good trade-off.
Final Verdict
Rating: 4.7/5
Sevalla succeeds at making hosting simple without sacrificing the features you actually need. The unified approach eliminates the complexity of managing multiple providers, and the pricing model is straightforward and honest.
The platform has some rough edges and might not suit the most complex enterprise needs, but the core experience is solid. The free static hosting alone makes it worth trying, and the complete infrastructure package makes it easy to stay as your projects grow. If you're tired of managing multiple hosting services (or just want to escape the AWS console), Sevalla offers a refreshing alternative that just works.
