What Marina is

Hosting for apps, sites, databases, domains and email, paid from a prepaid wallet.

Marina runs what a business needs online: web apps, static sites, databases, domains and email. You deploy from a terminal, from a Git push, or by telling an assistant to do it for you.

What you can run

ThingHow it starts
AppsFrom a Git repo, the directory you are in, or a container image. Marina works out how to build and start it.
Static sitesPublish a folder. Your first site is free, permanently.
DatabasesPostgres, MySQL, Redis or SQLite, created and attached to an app in one command.
DomainsBuy one from us, or point one you already own. HTTPS is issued and renewed for you.
EmailMailboxes on your own domain.

Everything is reachable the moment it deploys, at an address on sites.marinahost.app, until you attach a domain of your own.

How you pay

Marina is prepaid. You top up a wallet with Mobile Money and what you run is charged against the balance each month. There is no card and no subscription, and nothing can bill you past what is in the wallet.

Two things cost nothing: your first static site, and the first 200 MB of a managed SQLite database. Both are permanent, so you can watch the whole thing work before you spend anything. The pricing page has the rates for everything else.

Have an agent do it

You do not have to run any of this yourself. Give your assistant the link to deploy with an agent and ask it to deploy your app: it installs the CLI, signs you in, and ships. You click approve once in a browser, and that is the only part it cannot do for you.

Start here

curl -fsSL https://marinahost.app/install.sh | sh
marina login
marina status

Then deploy an app, or publish a folder and get your free site:

marina sites deploy ./dist
