How it works
Deploying is a single Git push. Connect a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository and Orbit inspects the project, detecting the framework, install step, build command and start command for you with Nixpacks — no Dockerfile, no YAML. It packages your app into a container, builds it, and distributes it across the Flux nodes you pick, or spreads it worldwide automatically. From then on every push to your chosen branch triggers a fresh build and redeploy through a webhook, with build logs streaming in real time. If a build fails, the last known-good version stays live and Orbit rolls back on its own, so a bad commit can never take your site down.
That detection step is why Orbit is not limited to static sites or to one ecosystem. Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java, .NET, PHP and Ruby all work out of the box, and front-end frameworks like Next.js, Remix, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro and Vite build and deploy in the same zero-config flow. Because your app runs as a full long-running container rather than a serverless function, the backends other platforms handle poorly — Django, Flask, FastAPI, Rails, Express, Go and Rust services, background workers, persistent processes — run natively. If it builds into a container, Orbit can deploy it.
Every push to your default branch rebuilds and redeploys automatically, so shipping is just git push. Environment variables and secrets are set per app and injected at runtime rather than baked into the image, which means the same build can be promoted without rebuilding it. And because there is no vendor runtime to code against, moving an app off Orbit is the same as moving it on — it is an ordinary container the whole way down.

Features
Zero Docker headaches. Orbit handles the full build, deploy, and operations pipeline so you can focus on code.
Everything below ships on every plan, free tier included: framework auto-detection, container builds, automatic redeploys on push, streaming build logs, instant rollback to the last healthy release, custom domains with managed TLS, environment variables and secrets, and a dashboard for logs, status and node-level actions on the apps you are already running.
No limit on build count or build duration. Ship as often as you need.
No shared hardware. Your rented CPU, RAM and storage are exclusively yours — not a metered slice of someone else’s server, so performance stays predictable and there is no vendor lock-in.
Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, Java, .NET, PHP and more, auto-detected every time.
Auto-detects project type, installs dependencies, and builds automatically.
GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket webhooks plus polling mode. Your workflow, your choice.
Connect your own domain with automatic SSL via Flux's reverse proxy network.
Deploy to specific regions worldwide or let Orbit distribute automatically.
Automatic preview deployments for branches and pull requests.
Failed deployments automatically revert to the last known-good version.
Deploy specific folders from a monorepo using the PROJECT_PATH variable.
Built-in health checks and process supervision keep your app always available.
Non-root execution, automatic log rotation, and encrypted app specs.
Why Orbit
Dedicated resources, unlimited builds, a fraction of the price.
Centralized platforms like Vercel and Netlify are polished, but they run your app on shared, metered infrastructure inside one company's cloud, with paid tiers starting around $19–$20 a month and real limits on backends and long-running servers. Orbit gives you dedicated CPU and RAM on the decentralized Flux network from $0.99 a month, native support for full-stack backends, and a genuinely free-forever tier with no non-commercial restriction. The table below is the short version; the Orbit vs. Vercel comparison and the Vercel, Netlify & Cloudflare Pages breakdown go through it line by line.
| Provider | Plan | Price | CPU | RAM | Builds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
OrbitBest Value | Developer | $2.49/mo | 1.5 Cores | 4 GB | Unlimited |
Vercel | Pro | $20/mo | Shared | Shared | Limited |
Netlify | Pro | $19/mo | Shared | Shared | Credit-based |
Render | Standard | $25/mo | 1 Core | 2 GB | 500 min/mo |
Railway | Hobby | $5/mo | Usage-based | Usage-based | Usage-based |

Loading live node distribution from the Flux network…
Most modern hosting concentrates your app inside one company's data centers — one provider's pricing, one provider's policies, one single point of failure. Orbit takes a different path. Your app runs on the Flux network: thousands of independently operated nodes across dozens of countries, run by thousands of separate operators. Because no single party owns the infrastructure, there is no gatekeeper who can deplatform you, no vendor able to lock in your data, and no lone data center whose outage takes you offline.
Your container also runs on real, dedicated hardware rather than a metered slice of a shared server, and it runs on several nodes at once, so the network absorbs the failures that would mean downtime on a single-server setup. For dApp front-ends, indie projects and teams that want genuine redundancy and censorship resistance, decentralized hosting delivers the reliability of a top-tier cloud without handing control to one corporation.
Pricing
Choose your plan based on your resource needs.
Start free and scale as you grow. Every plan — including the free-forever tier — includes unlimited builds, automatic deploys on every push, rollbacks, and the full Orbit feature set; paid plans add dedicated CPU, RAM and storage, and the first month is free. There is no contract and no egress billing: you pay for the resources your app reserves, and you can change or cancel a plan at any time.

* Restrictions may apply to prevent abuse.
* The Free plan is automatically renewed as long as you have only one Git app running on the network. Additional Git apps are charged $0.99/month each.
The Free plan runs on a single instance. Brief downtime may occur if the hosting node restarts. For high-availability apps, Standard or Pro plans are recommended.
Private GitHub repositories are deployed as Enterprise apps, running exclusively on ArcaneOS nodes with full encryption. Enterprise adds $1.33/month on Free, or $2.66/month on Standard, Pro, and Custom plans.
