AI builders
Hosting for AI builders, starting with your first site.
AI builders are people building websites, apps and automations with AI tools like Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, n8n and agents, for themselves or for businesses.
Your own Linux server, root and SSH, any stack. Choose a plan and put your first site live.
How do I get my first site live?
Three steps, all in your own account: choose a plan, create your server, put your first site live.
Step 1: Choose a plan
One, two or five websites, USD monthly, cancel any time. Checkout creates your own account, and a welcome email has everything you need to sign in.
Step 2: Create your own server
In your account, create a Linux server and pick the region. It is yours: full root, SSH and SFTP.
Step 3: Put your first site live
Push the project from GitHub, install WordPress in one click, or bring a Docker Compose file. Preview it on the free test domain, then point your domain at it.
Free SSL and daily backups come with every site. Stuck on a step? Talk to us, opens WhatsApp.
What can I run on my server?
Anything that runs on Ubuntu. One-click where it exists, Docker where it does not.
WordPress and WooCommerce
One click from your account, with WP-CLI on the server.
PHP and Laravel
NGINX or OpenLiteSpeed, PHP version set per site.
Node.js and NestJS
Pick the version. Push to a branch and the build, process manager and reverse proxy are handled.
Next.js
Deploy from git, next to whatever else is on the box.
Python
As a service or in a container.
Docker
Compose or a Dockerfile. Multi-container, APIs, background workers, AI and ML workloads.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB
MySQL and MariaDB on the server; PostgreSQL, MongoDB and ClickHouse one click.
Redis and Valkey
Object cache for WordPress, or a queue for your app.
n8n and Activepieces
Self-host your workflows next to the site they feed.
Static sites
Plain HTML from any generator, served from your server.
AI and agents
Ollama, Open WebUI and LibreChat one click. Host the agent that runs your workflow: Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes.
Code Server
VS Code in the browser, on your server, one click.
React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Nuxt
Static builds served by NGINX, or Node for server rendering. Push from git and the build runs on the server.
Lovable and Bolt projects
Sync the project to GitHub, connect the repo, push. Same as any other project.
It is an Ubuntu server with root, so if it runs on Linux, it runs here. Deploy next to Vercel, Netlify or Railway, or move a project off them. Supabase is one click if you want it on your own server.
Run your server from Claude Code, the way we do.
We manage sites and servers from the Claude Code CLI, and so do the AI builders in Talk to Build. On EmpathyHost the doors are open for it: SSH into your server, run WP-CLI, deploy with git push, and let an agent create sites through the platform's MCP server and Agent Skills. Agents building and looking after websites from the command line is where we think this goes. Your server is ready for it now.
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.

Community
Built for AI builders like the Talk to Build community
Talk to Build is a community on Skool for AI builders who build websites, apps and automations and help businesses thrive. Mike Kwal, founder of MK-Way and our brand ambassador, is building it. EmpathyHost is built for AI builders like the people in it: a server of your own for your first site, and the ones after it.
Join Talk to Build (opens in a new tab)
Talk to Build is a separate community. You do not need to join it to host with EmpathyHost.
What's in the account?
Root and SSH
Full root on an Ubuntu server, SSH and SFTP, a separate system user per site.
git push-to-deploy
Push to a branch and the build and restart run for you. Branch control and rollback. No FTP.
Staging
Push a site to staging, test, pull it back live. A free test domain before your real one points at it.
Docker
Compose or a Dockerfile, from your account.
Region of your choice
Choose where the server lives when you create it.
Specs per plan

Servers run on Intel Xeon processors with built-in AI acceleration (Intel DL Boost), on Vultr cloud infrastructure, in the region you choose.
Your account, your server
Your own account
Checkout creates it, with your own login, and a welcome email has everything you need to sign in. Servers, sites, backups and billing live there.
You create the server
You spin it up from your account and pick the region. You decide what runs on it.
Your agents can work it too
An MCP server and Agent Skills are available, so Claude Code or Codex can create a site, pull a backup or check health for you.
An advisor, not a gatekeeper
Nobody sits between you and your server. When you want a second opinion, talk to us, opens WhatsApp.

AI builder questions
Where should I host a website I built with AI?
On a server you control, so it is not tied to the tool you built it with. Choose a plan, create your server in your account, then push the project from GitHub, install WordPress in one click, or bring a Docker Compose file. Node.js, Next.js, Python and static sites all run. Free SSL and daily backups come with every site.
Can I host a Claude Code or Lovable project on my own server?
Yes. Push the project to GitHub and connect the repo in your account; the build and restart run on your server. Lovable projects sync to GitHub first, then deploy the same way. Claude Code can also work on the server directly over SSH, and the platform's MCP server and Agent Skills let it create sites and pull backups.
Do I get root access and SSH?
Yes. Every plan is your own Ubuntu server with full root access, SSH and SFTP. It is your server, so you get the keys to it.
Can I deploy with git?
Yes. Connect a repo, push to your branch, and the build and restart run for you. Branch control and rollback are in your account. No FTP.
Can I run Docker?
Yes. Bring a Dockerfile or a Compose file. Multi-container setups, APIs, background workers and AI or ML workloads run on your server next to whatever else you host there.
Can I run n8n on the same server as my website?
Yes. n8n is a one-click app and runs on the same server as your website, whether that is WordPress, a Node app or a static site. Size the plan for the number of sites and the RAM you need; Two websites is the usual starting point.
Do I choose the server region?
Yes. You pick the region when you create the server in your account, and that is where your site runs, on Vultr cloud infrastructure in that region.
What if I don't want any hand-holding?
Then you will not get any. It is your account and your server. We are here when you message us on WhatsApp, and otherwise we stay out of your way.
Put your first site on your own server.
Choose a plan, create your server and push your first project. Or talk to us first if you want to sanity-check the setup.
