OneDeploy is a managed hosting service that provisions a dedicated virtual server for each open-source app you choose, installs the app, issues TLS for a web address, creates an admin account and schedules encrypted off‑site nightly backups. It promises the convenience of a subscription with the control of owning your server: no per‑user fees, per‑hour billing with a transparent monthly cap, delete-anytime billing stops, and a dashboard to handle deployments, domains, certificates, one‑click updates, resizing and migrations. The catalog lists 88 apps spanning websites, chat, files, CRM, analytics, AI and developer tools (examples include WordPress, Mattermost, Nextcloud, GitLab, n8n, Postgres, Redis and various LLM tooling).
Key operational specifics matter: each app runs on its own VM (no noisy neighbors), backups run nightly by default (configurable daily/weekly, retention from one week up to a year), manual backups and one‑click restore either in place or into a new service, and backup storage up to twice disk size is included. Regions are global (Europe, US, Asia, Australia, Latin America, Africa) with cloud options like Hetzner and Vultr. Billing requires prepaid credit that’s consumed hourly and capped monthly; services are deleted if credit hits zero but backups remain restorable for roughly 14 days. Only open‑source editions are installed; commercial paid editions must be handled separately.
