One calm panel for everything your site runs on.
Domains and SSL, DNS, mailboxes, databases, cron and backups — managed from a single modern dashboard that's quick to learn and hard to fumble. Invite-only, for now.
Everything a real site needs. Nothing you'd never touch.
Six things, each one screen deep — the essentials, presented plainly, without the config rabbit holes that make hosting feel like a second job.
Domains & SSL
Add a domain, get a certificate in a click. Renewals handled; expiry surfaced before it bites.
DNS records
A real record editor — A, CNAME, MX, TXT — with verification badges so you know it actually took.
Mailboxes
Accounts, aliases and forwards, with deliverability handled — DKIM, SPF and DMARC set up for you.
Databases
Databases and users, passwords rotated on demand, phpMyAdmin one branded click away.
Cron jobs
Scheduled tasks in a plain, readable list. Add one, remove one — no crontab syntax archaeology.
Backups
Snapshot, restore, download. Kept offsite and encrypted — and proven by a real restore, not a promise.
Considered defaults. Nothing to lock you in.
AGPL-3.0, by commitment
NowHost is licensed under the AGPL-3.0 — the copyleft licence built to prevent proprietary lock-in. What runs your domains, mail and keys is bound by a licence that keeps it open, not a black box you take on trust.
We never see a card
Invite-only, no self-signup, no billing to configure. Nothing to leak that we never collected in the first place.
Backups that actually restore
Encrypted, offsite, and in a standard, portable format. The exit door is tested, not theoretical — your data is never held hostage.
Fast, current, behind the edge
TLS everywhere, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, sensible security headers, and a global CDN in front — set up right the first time, so you don't have to think about it.
Status you can see, not a marketing SLA.
Live health, in plain sight.
