Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AcadSites cloud hosting.
What is AcadSites and how does it work?
AcadSites is a developer-centric cloud hosting platform that connects directly to your GitHub repositories. When you push code, AcadSites automatically builds and deploys your static frontends (React, Vite, Next.js) or persistent Python (FastAPI, Flask, Django) and Node.js backend services to isolated containers with free HTTPS subdomains (*-acadsites.acadkits.dev).
How is AcadSites safer than Vercel for indie developers?
AcadSites guarantees Hard-Capped Billing Protection. Unlike Vercel, which auto-scales bandwidth and serverless function invocations leading to infamous surprise thousands-of-dollars bills, AcadSites enforces bounded resource quotas. If your site reaches its tier limit, it throttles safely rather than charging surprise fees.
How does AcadSites eliminate Render's 15-minute cold start sleep?
Render's free tier spins down containers after 15 minutes of inactivity, causing 50-second cold start delays for your visitors. AcadSites keeps container runtimes warm during active lifecycles, ensuring instant sub-second page loads and responsive API endpoints.
Which frameworks and languages are supported from GitHub?
AcadSites natively supports React, Vite, Next.js (App Router & Pages), Vue, Svelte, static HTML/CSS/JS exports, persistent Node.js backends (Express, Fastify, WebSocket servers), and Python backend runtimes (FastAPI with Uvicorn, Flask, Django, and ML inference services) started automatically via requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, Pipfile, or package.json scripts.
Do I get a free domain and SSL certificate?
Yes! Every deployed project instantly receives a free vanity subdomain (*-acadsites.acadkits.dev) with automated Let's Encrypt TLS/SSL encryption and global CDN distribution. You can also connect your own custom apex domains or subdomains with zero configuration.
Can I host persistent databases directly inside the container?
Container filesystems are ephemeral and reset during new deployments. We recommend connecting external cloud databases (such as Supabase, Neon PostgreSQL, MongoDB Atlas, or PlanetScale) by setting your connection string in the Project Environment Variables tab.
Is AcadSites really free to use?
Yes. Our Starter plan is 100% free forever with no credit card required. It provides full GitHub continuous deployment, free *-acadsites.acadkits.dev subdomains, automated HTTPS, and community support.
