Frequently Asked Questions

DeclarativeHost is a platform for managing virtual private servers (VPS) programmatically and declaratively. Instead of clicking through web interfaces, you can manage your infrastructure through code using our comprehensive REST API.

You can create hosts in two ways:

• Web Dashboard: Use our intuitive dashboard to create hosts with a simple form
• API: Send a POST request to /api/v1/hosts/ with your host specifications

Webhooks allow you to automate deployments when your code changes. When you push to your repository, platforms like GitHub or GitLab can call your webhook URL, which triggers a deployment on your host.

Each webhook includes:

• A secure token for authentication
• Customizable deploy commands
• Activity tracking and logs

Our pricing is based on the resources you allocate to your hosts:

• CPU cores
• RAM (memory)
• Disk storage

You only pay for what you use, and you can scale your hosts up or down as needed.

DeclarativeHost supports multiple authentication methods:

• Session-based: For web dashboard access
• API tokens: For programmatic access
• Two-factor authentication (2FA): For enhanced security

You can manage your API keys from the dashboard.

Yes! You can configure custom domain names for your hosts. We support:

• SSL/TLS certificate management

• Resource usage metrics via API
• Activity logs for all operations
• Webhook trigger history and success rates
