機能 Features
Infrastructure that purrs.
The boring parts of hosting, done properly — so you can get back to building things.
Global edge network
312 points of presence on six continents. Your content is cached close to your users and simply sits there, comfortably, for as long as you need it.
Managed Postgres
Automatic backups every 24 hours. Internally we call them naps. Restore from any nap in the last 30 days with one command.
DDoS protection
Always on, at no extra cost. Suspicious traffic is identified, isolated and hissed at before it reaches your origin.
Zero-downtime deploys
Rolling deploys with instant rollback. Deploys are paused daily between 14:00 and 16:00 JST. This is not negotiable.
Support that shows up
Real engineers answer every ticket, around the clock. Median first response is four minutes, or one sincere slow blink.
ドメイン Domains
Find your project a home.
Register a domain in seconds. Free SSL, free DNS, and WHOIS privacy included, so nobody knows where your project sleeps.
ネットワーク Network
Eight regions. 312 edge locations. One cardboard box.
Your app runs close to your users on a network we built and maintain ourselves. Traffic is routed to the nearest awake region automatically.
- 01Anycast routing to the nearest healthy (and awake) region
- 02Private backbone between every region, encrypted end to end
- 03Automatic regional failover in under nine seconds

声 Customers
Developers seem to like it.
We asked a few of them. Most said yes.
“We moved forty services over in a weekend and p95 latency dropped by half. The CLI occasionally prints a cat. We've made peace with it.”
“Their support engineer fixed our DNS at 3am, then stayed on the call for another twenty minutes without saying anything. Strangely reassuring.”
“Best hosting I've used in ten years. I still don't fully understand the nap window, but I've stopped deploying at 2pm and my life is genuinely better.”
質問 FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is nekohosting a real company?
We get asked this surprisingly often. We are registered, we have servers, and the servers have names. Make of that what you will.
What exactly is the nap window?
Between 14:00 and 16:00 JST, new deploys are queued instead of executed. Everything already running keeps running. The infrastructure team rests. Incident rates have dropped 30% since we introduced it, and we no longer question it.
What happens when an instance uses all nine lives?
It hasn't happened yet. There is a runbook. It is one page long and mostly a drawing.
Where are your data centers?
Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Oregon and São Paulo, all in Tier III facilities. The Ohio region runs out of a large cardboard box, at its own request.
Do you support Docker?
Yes. Containers of any size are welcome. Honestly, any box.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — within 30 days, no questions asked. Please don't ask the server directly. It takes it personally.

Setup takes about 40 seconds. Slightly longer if it's sleeping on the keyboard.
