Container hosting: run Docker applications in Germany
Many applications are available as Docker containers today: web analytics such as Matomo, mail servers such as Stalwart, knowledge and document management or automation. You have two options. On a root vServer we set up Coolify for you and you install your apps yourself. Or you tell us the application and we run the containers on a managed vServer with updates and monitoring. Servers and support are located in Germany, and LCube is certified to ISO/IEC 27001.
On a managed vServer with server type Docker we run your container applications, install the container updates and monitor the server; you add an Acronis backup for an extra charge. If you prefer to manage things yourself, we set up Coolify on a root vServer at the plain server price. Configuring your application stays with you in both cases, and servers and support are located in Germany.

Coolify on the root vServer
Coolify is an open-source platform for deploying applications, databases and services on your own server through a web interface. We set up Coolify on your root vServer at no extra cost, at the plain server price. You then use the catalogue of ready-made Docker Compose templates and your own stacks yourself, with full root access. Recommended from VS250.
| Root vServer | Resources | Price/month | |
|---|---|---|---|
| VS150 | 2 CPU cores · 4 GB RAM | €25.51 | Order · Try 1 month |
| VS250 | 4 CPU cores · 8 GB RAM | €46.46 | Order · Try 1 month |
| VS350 | 8 CPU cores · 16 GB RAM | €91.62 | Order · Try 1 month |
| VS450 | 16 CPU cores · 32 GB RAM | €170.16 | Order · Try 1 month |
Minimum term 1 month. With the update service for €11.90 per month we add the server to our update system, on RPM-based systems such as AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux. You plan restarts yourself. When ordering, state in the field “Your message to the company” that Coolify is to be installed.
Operated containers: choose a server
The price depends on the managed vServer your containers run on, monthly prices incl. 19% VAT, minimum term 1 month. A container server is available from VSM150; the entry size with 4 GB RAM suits lean applications, for applications with higher memory demands we recommend a larger size. You add the Acronis backup for an extra charge. Tell us your application when ordering in the field “Your message to the company”, and we check it before set-up.

Frequently asked questions about container hosting
What is the difference between Coolify and operated containers?
With Coolify you manage your applications yourself: we set up Coolify on your root vServer, you install apps and keep them up to date. With operated containers you tell us the application, we run the containers on a managed vServer, install the container updates and monitor the server. Configuring the application itself stays with you in both cases. Ask for advice
Which applications can I have operated?
In principle any application that runs as a Docker Compose stack, after a check by us. Examples include Matomo, Stalwart and Bulwark. The list keeps growing, so we do not name a fixed selection here. Send us the name of the application or your Compose stack and we will get back to you with an assessment and the suitable server size.
What does container hosting cost?
The price depends on the server your containers run on: a managed vServer from VSM150 for operated containers, a root vServer from VS150 for Coolify. There is no extra charge for Coolify or for the server type Docker. For operated containers the Acronis backup is added for an extra charge. All prices are shown above, and we are happy to advise you personally.
Who takes care of updates?
With operated containers we take care of the container updates. With Coolify you are responsible yourself, including the operating system. For that there is the optional update service for €11.90 per month, which installs package updates on RPM-based systems such as AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux. You plan restarts yourself in that case. Updates of the application inside the container depend on the option you chose.
Who configures my application?
You do. We run the containers and the server; you set up the settings inside the application, such as users in Matomo or mailboxes in Stalwart. If you need support with that, talk to us; the effort is agreed individually.
Is there a free trial month?
Yes, for both options. You can try Coolify on the root vServer and operated containers on the managed vServer free of charge for one month, using the link in the respective price table. The trial includes the same services as the order. For operated containers, tell us your application in the field “Your message to the company” so that we can check it beforehand.
Where is my data stored?
In Germany. Servers and support are located in German data centres, operation is GDPR compliant, and LCube itself is certified to ISO/IEC 27001. Your containers run on a server just for you. When you have questions, you reach experienced specialists who know your environment.
