Works with
Works with the tools builders already use
EmpathyHost is not a WordPress host with extras. It is an Ubuntu server with root, so if your project runs on Linux, it runs here. React, Astro, Laravel, a Docker stack, a WordPress site: all welcome.
- PostgreSQL
- Node.js
- NestJS
- Laravel
- Python
- Docker
- n8n
- Next.js
- React
- Vue
- Svelte
- Redis
- Nginx
- MySQL
- MariaDB
- Ubuntu
- WordPress
- WooCommerce
- PHP
- Astro
- Nuxt
- Git
- GitHub
- Lovable
- Supabase
- Railway
- Netlify
- Vercel
Most of these run on your server. Build in Lovable and push it here. Vercel, Netlify and Railway deploy next to it, or you move a project across from them.
Why do builders move to EmpathyHost?
Builders ship websites, web apps and automations. They need a server that is theirs, runs anything, and has people behind it.
Your own Linux server
Not a shared box. An Ubuntu server in your own account, with full root access, SSH and SFTP.
Every site gets its own system user, so one project cannot tread on another.
Run any stack
WordPress with WP-CLI, or Nginx via Docker. Node, Laravel, Python, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, n8n.
One-click where it exists, a Dockerfile or Compose file where it does not. Your agents run beside it.
The region you choose
Pick where the server lives when you create it: Toronto, New York, London, Frankfurt, Singapore, Sydney and more.
On Vultr cloud infrastructure, on Intel Xeon processors, close to the people who visit you.
People who answer
Message us on WhatsApp and a person from the EmpathyHost team writes back.
We host client sites on this same setup, so the advice comes from people who run it too.
We run sites from Claude Code. Yours is ready for it.
We manage sites and servers from the Claude Code CLI, and so do the Talk-to-Build builders: create a site, pull a backup, push a deploy, fix a plugin, all from the terminal. On EmpathyHost that is not a demo. It is how we work.
It is also the future we are building for: agents that build and look after websites from the command line, with a person setting the direction. Your server comes with the doors open: SSH, WP-CLI, git, and an MCP server your agent can use.
SSH and WP-CLI
Your agent opens a shell on your server and runs WordPress from the command line.
git push-to-deploy
Commit, push, and the build and restart run on the server. Roll back when you need to.
MCP server and Agent Skills
Claude Code or Codex creates sites, pulls backups and checks health through the platform's MCP server.

Which one sounds like you?
Builders
You build websites, web apps and automations, with Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, n8n or by hand. You want a real server: root, SSH, Docker, git deploy, staging. Studios and agencies, this is you too.
See BuildersEntrepreneurs
You run a local or online business and want your site hosted somewhere quick and looked after: patching, backups and SSL handled, and people to talk to when something looks off. Most owners take the One website plan.

From people who host with us
“I was blown away at how easy it was to see everything in one place. I love the daily backups. It means I don't need any plugins on my website because it's all done for me on the back-end with one-touch backups.”
“We switched to GoDaddy because it was cheaper and it was so much slower. We were blown away from the agnostic guidance, care and support we got from our guys at Empathy.”
“We were really nervous at first moving from our MyHosting.com because we got hurt making a move like this in the past, but to be honest, I've never felt better after talking to someone at EH.”
