For Vibecoders
You build fast.
We keep it running.
You ship apps with Cursor, Copilot, and Claude. You prototype in hours, not weeks. But when it's time to deploy, the server becomes a black box. HostAtlas gives you complete visibility into your servers without needing a DevOps degree. Install one command and everything is monitored, explained, and protected.
One command. That's it.
$ curl -sSL https://install.hostatlas.app/install.sh | sudo bash_ The Problem
AI makes building fast. Servers are still hard.
You can scaffold a full-stack app in an afternoon. But when your VPS starts throwing 502 errors at 3am, no AI tool can tell you why. The gap between "deployed" and "production-ready" is filled with server monitoring, alerting, backups, and security — the boring stuff that matters most.
"My site is down and I have no idea why"
Disk full? OOM kill? PHP crash? Without monitoring, you're guessing. HostAtlas tells you exactly what happened and why, in plain English.
"My backups aren't actually running"
Silent cron failures are the number one cause of data loss for solo developers. HostAtlas heartbeat monitoring catches missed runs within 60 seconds.
"Someone is attacking my server"
Brute force SSH, DDoS, bot floods. You don't know iptables and you shouldn't have to. HostAtlas Under Attack Mode handles it with one click.
Zero Configuration
Install one command. Everything is monitored.
The HostAtlas agent is a single binary that auto-discovers everything running on your server. Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis, Docker containers, cron jobs, SSL certificates, open ports — all detected automatically. No YAML files, no config templates, no dashboards to set up. It just works.
30-Second Install
Run one curl command. The agent installs, registers with the platform, and starts collecting data. You'll see your server in the dashboard before you finish reading this sentence.
Auto-Discovery
PHP versions, web servers, databases, cache servers, Docker containers, running processes, open ports, SSL certificates, and cron jobs — all discovered automatically.
Smart Defaults
Alerts are pre-configured for disk space, memory, CPU, and process crashes. You're protected from day one without touching a settings page.
Auto-Discovery Results
Discovered in 4.2 seconds. Zero configuration.
AI Incident Analysis
INCIDENT #247
Server web-01: PHP-FPM pool exhausted, 502 errors detected
AI EXPLANATION
Your PHP workers ran out because a slow database query is holding each worker for 30+ seconds. Normally, each request takes 200ms, so 10 workers handle traffic fine. But the users table query is doing a full table scan since it grew past 100k rows. Adding an index on created_at should fix this.
Suggested actions:
1. Add index on users.created_at
2. Increase pm.max_children from 10 to 20
3. Set up slow query logging
AI-Powered Explanations
Every server issue explained in plain English.
When something goes wrong, HostAtlas doesn't just show you a graph. It explains what happened, why it happened, and what to do about it — in language you actually understand. No need to Google cryptic error codes or ask ChatGPT to interpret a load average of 47.
Plain English Incidents
Every incident gets an AI-generated explanation. Not "CPU at 98%" but "Your server is overloaded because a bot is scraping your site at 200 requests per second."
Root Cause Analysis
HostAtlas correlates metrics across your server to find the actual cause. A disk full alert might trace back to a log file growing 2GB/hour because of a debug flag left on.
Actionable Fix Suggestions
Every explanation comes with specific, actionable steps. Not "increase memory" but "run this exact command to add 2GB swap" or "click this recipe to fix it automatically."
Recipe Marketplace
Install anything with one click. No SSH needed.
Recipes are pre-built scripts that run on your server through the HostAtlas agent. Need to install Node.js? Set up a database? Configure SSL? Browse the marketplace, click "Run", and it's done. No terminal, no copy-pasting StackOverflow commands, no wondering if you forgot a step.
Install Node.js
Install Node.js 20 LTS with npm. Sets up the correct apt repository, installs globally, and verifies the installation. One click.
runtimeSetup SSL Certificate
Install Certbot, request a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for your domain, and configure auto-renewal. HTTPS in two clicks.
securityInstall PostgreSQL
Install PostgreSQL, create a database and user, and apply production-safe defaults. Creates a monitoring user for HostAtlas automatically.
databaseAdd Swap Space
Create a swap file, set correct permissions, and configure swappiness. Prevents OOM kills on small VPS instances. Recommended for servers with less than 4GB RAM.
systemHarden SSH
Disable password auth, change the SSH port, install fail2ban, and configure key-only access. Eliminates 99% of brute force attacks.
securityDeploy from GitHub
Clone a repo, install dependencies, build assets, and configure Nginx to serve it. Supports Node.js, PHP, and Python projects out of the box.
deploymentUnder Attack Mode
One-click defense when things go wrong.
Your app goes viral. Or worse, someone is attacking it. Traffic spikes, your server is struggling, and you don't know what to do. Click one button and HostAtlas activates Under Attack Mode — rate limiting, connection throttling, and IP blocking. Your server stays up while you figure out next steps.
Automatic Rate Limiting
Throttle excessive connections per IP address. Legitimate users get through. Bots and attackers get blocked. All configured automatically.
IP Intelligence
HostAtlas identifies known bad IPs, data center ranges, and Tor exit nodes. Under Attack Mode can block these automatically or flag them for review.
One Click On, One Click Off
No iptables rules to learn. No firewall configs to edit. Toggle Under Attack Mode from the dashboard or the mobile app. Disable it when the threat passes.
Under Attack Mode
Your site is protected. Legitimate users are unaffected.
Heartbeat Status
Alert sent to Slack and email 2 hours ago.
Heartbeat Monitoring
Make sure your cron jobs actually run.
You set up a daily backup script. It worked once. You never checked again. Three months later, your database is gone and so is your backup. HostAtlas heartbeat monitoring pings a URL after each job runs. If the ping doesn't arrive, you get alerted immediately.
Simple HTTP Pings
Add a curl command to the end of any script. If the ping doesn't arrive on schedule, HostAtlas alerts you. No SDK, no library, no framework integration needed.
Duration Tracking
Use start and finish pings to measure how long each job takes. Spot slow backups, growing import times, or degrading performance before it becomes a problem.
More Essentials
Status pages and offsite backups. Built in.
Show your users you take reliability seriously with a public status page. And protect your data with automated, encrypted offsite backups. Both are included in every HostAtlas plan — not sold as expensive add-ons.
Status Pages
Create a public status page at status.yourdomain.com. HostAtlas updates it automatically when incidents are detected and resolved. Your users see real-time uptime, response time graphs, and incident history — without you lifting a finger.
status.myapp.com
All Systems OperationalOffsite Backups
Automated, encrypted backups stored on Hetzner S3. Your data is encrypted on your server before it leaves — we never see your files in plain text. Ransomware detection built in: if HostAtlas detects suspicious entropy patterns in your files, it freezes the backup schedule to protect your clean copies.

Client-side encryption — key never leaves your server
