A Railway alternative on your own servers
Push-to-deploy on a box you own, with a bill that doesn't move with usage.
What you get moving from Railway
Railway runs your services on its own infrastructure and bills per second of use. Serversinc deploys containers to servers you own, billed per server.
Per server, not per second
£5 a month for three servers, then £2 each. CPU, memory and egress aren't metered.
Machines you own
Import a box you run, or provision one on DigitalOcean or Hetzner with your key.
Many apps, one server
Run as many applications as the server fits. Each one gets its own CPU and memory limits.
Rollback on a failed check
Traffic stays on the old container until the new one passes its health check.
Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB
Provisioned on your server, with users, schemas and grants.
In your bucket
Scheduled database and volume backups to S3, R2, B2 or Spaces.
The bill, side by side
Railway plans are Free, Hobby at $5 a month and Pro at $20 a month, and each fee includes the same amount of usage credit. Usage is billed per second: about $20 per vCPU and $10 per GB of memory a month, $0.15 per GB of volume and $0.05 per GB of egress.

Deploy, then switch DNS
