Each app shows the smallest size it runs on before you choose. Apps are billed exactly like machines, by the second with a monthly cap, on the same invoice.

Billing runs from the moment a machine is built until you delete it, and a month never costs more than the plan's monthly price.

Getting started

£8 on us.
Go build something_

Add a card and we’ll put £8 in your account. That’s a Fresh 4 for a whole month, a WordPress site for about six weeks, or a week on a Fresh 16 to see what it can really do. Saving the card costs nothing, and it isn’t charged until the credit runs out. Spend it within 60 days.

  1. Sign up — confirm your email, then lock the account with two-factor.

  2. Pick what to run — a machine, an app or a database, with the price shown before you order.

  3. Add a card and watch it come up — the £8 goes on first, and the console shows each step as it’s built.

FAQ

How does the £8 credit work?

When you first save a card, £8 of credit is added to your account. It is used against your invoices before your card is charged, and expires after 60 days. That covers a Fresh 4 for a whole month, or a Fresh 16 for about eight days. Each account and card can receive it once.

What is included in the price?

The compute, memory and disk of your plan, one public IPv4, and 100 Mbit/s of guaranteed bandwidth that bursts to 1 Gbit/s when capacity is available. Transfer is unmetered: we don’t count or bill it. Prices include VAT and there is no separate IPv4 charge. The console, SQL editor, usage, activity and team roles cost nothing extra. Traffic that harms other customers is handled under our acceptable use policy.

Is managed Postgres available?

Yes. PostgreSQL 18 runs on its own machine on your private network, and optionally on the internet behind an allowlist, with TLS on every connection, health checks and automatic restarts. It is priced exactly like a machine of the same size. More about managed Postgres.

What is a managed app?

An app from our catalogue, such as WordPress, Ghost, Gitea or Uptime Kuma, that we install and run on its own isolated machine. You pick the app, a name and a size, and it is live on its own apps.fresh.dev address with HTTPS in a few minutes. Add your own domain whenever you like. You get the app’s full admin; there is no server to log into or maintain. More about managed apps.

Where are Fresh VMs hosted?

Our initial hosting location is Kent, United Kingdom. Expansion into the Netherlands and Ireland is planned for the first half of 2027, and New York for the second half; those locations are not available yet.

Are updates and backups included?

Managed apps and databases get security updates for the system underneath, health checks every 15 seconds and automatic restarts. Machines are yours to run, so their updates are yours.

Automatic backups and snapshots are on the way. Until they arrive, keep your own copy of anything you can’t lose: the app’s own export, pg_dump, or a copy off the machine.
