Dokku VPS hosting

Dokku is a platform as a service (PaaS) that makes it super easy to customize, deploy, and scale apps. But as an open-source tool, you need to install and host Dokku on your own server. 

Now, setting up your own infrastructure can be complex and expensive. This is where Dokku hosting comes in as an excellent solution.

For instance, our Dokku VPS hosting plans start at just US$ 4.99/month. Plus, getting started is super easy with an intuitive panel, customizable templates, easy-to-use browser terminal, and reliable AI assistance.

First things first, you need to purchase a VPS hosting plan. After that, during the onboarding process, simply install the Ubuntu 22.04 with Dokku template, and it will be pre-installed on your server.

For more information on how to configure Dokku on your VPS and create apps, check out our Dokku template support page.

Since Dokku is an open-source tool, it doesn’t offer the same level of built-in security as a managed platform like Heroku. 

But with Hostinger, no need to worry about it. Our servers come with a built-in firewall and advanced DDoS protection to keep unwanted traffic at bay. Plus, we offer automated malware detection and weekly backups to protect your important data.

You can also set up additional security measures like creating a custom firewall, installing SSL certificates, and implementing SSH key-based authentication through our intuitive hPanel.

You can simply install the Dokku Monit plugin to monitor your apps using this command:

sudo apt-get install monit

sudo dokku plugin:install https://github.com/mbreit/dokku-monit.git

You will get access to a personal AI assistant called Kodee. Ask anything, and Kodee will come back with an answer in seconds.
