How it works
- Connect your hosting — paste a cPanel API token (never your password). A green preflight checklist proves the connection before anything is created.
- New project — pick a name. We create the subdomain, MySQL database, SSL certificate, and proxy rules.
- Minute 7: ship — your PocketBase backend is live at
https://your-project.yourdomain.comwith auth, realtime database, file storage, and an admin UI.
Why not just use PocketHost?
PocketHost charges $9.99/mo per PocketBase on their infrastructure. 1.95 BaaS runs on the $1.95/mo hosting you already own — roughly $0.33 per backend — and the SQLite files stay on your server. Leave any time; take your data with you.
The moat is the experience, not the orchestration. The recipe is open; the product is the five-minute journey.
