An easy way to connect with the most common CI services (GitHub actions / GitLab / TravisCI / CircleCI / etc.) to push like a WebApp from GitHub to the hoster.

Also barely any hosting provider offers CouchDB hosting, that I would love to see more.

  • Upload gitignored files. Frontend assets should be built on developer's PC, not on the server.
  • Persistence. Heroku does not offer persistence, unless you use a database.
    • Many Docker images also require file-based persistence.
  • Remote shell. Already available on Heroku, BTW.

A great addition to web hosting would be AI-driven support for faster issue resolution, customizable resource scaling, enhanced security with proactive threat detection, and seamless integration with popular CMS and e-commerce tools. Managed hosting can especially benefit from these features to improve user experience.
