Only fair I think to highlight that essentially this exact service is also offered by Coolify themselves as a subscription which is $5/mo ($4/mo if you pay annually).

I haven't used this service myself because I found self-hosting Coolify to be easy enough, but I think it would be useful to have a side-by-side comparison between this service (Indiehost) and Coolify Cloud.

Great point thank you - will add a section on this to the landing page

Indiehost is even more of an abstraction (sign in with cloud provider and we do the rest) vs. Coolify Cloud still requires configuring your servers + resources + understanding of Coolify (e.g. proxies, redirects, ssh keys, backups, etc.)

Of course, the abstraction has its drawbacks (limited control) and I always recommend self-hosting. It's a template for the most common scenarios for new devs/app devs who may shy away from self-hosting for many reasons (takes too much time, not-reliable, fear of the unknown)

Yeah, I’m sure there are folks for whom Indiehost will provide a value add on top of what Coolify Cloud offers, and I think tabulating them and demonstrating your value proposition is easy enough, (support, ease of setup, cost savings over the mid-to-long term, etc.), and I like that you refer to the self hosting option in the FAQs, just would be nice to see the two services side by side!

why would I use this when I can use railway.app and coolify themselves for $5?
