👋 Welcome to PocketHost

Overview

PocketHost hosts your PocketBase projects, so you don’t have to. Create a project like you would in Firebase and Supabase and let PocketHost do the rest.

PocketHost is a cloud hosting platform for PocketBase. You can use it to instantly provision a PocketBase backend for your latest project. Features include:

Create PocketBase projects, each with a custom subdomain or custom vanity domain
Each instance runs on a subdomain of pockethost.io
Access your PocketBase instance using the PocketBase JavaScript SDK as easily as new PocketBase('https://my-project.pockethost.io')
Run your instance in an ultra-beefy shared environment

Focus on your app

Get a live PocketBase instance in 10 seconds with no backend setup:

import PocketBase from 'pocketbase'

const client = new PocketBase(`https://harvest.pockethost.io`)
