# lowcloud

> lowcloud is a guided hosting platform for AI builders. It helps people bring AI-built apps, websites, tools, and agents online without DevOps knowledge: upload your code (or connect GitHub), a guided chat explains every step, and your app goes live on a real URL in minutes. Hosting runs on EU servers in Germany and is designed to be GDPR-compliant. lowcloud aims to be simpler than developer-first cloud dashboards, more guided than traditional hosting, and more approachable than running your own server. Start free; small projects often run from around €5/month.

## What lowcloud is

- A guided hosting platform for the new generation of AI builders, vibe coders, solo founders, freelancers, agencies, and small teams: people who can create software with AI but want a simpler way to bring it online.
- Built for the moment *after* creation: you have built something and now need to publish it, host it, connect a domain, and keep it reachable.
- Designed for people who build with Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, and similar tools, and who do not want to navigate complex cloud dashboards or technical setup.
- Simple mental model: **build with AI → bring online with lowcloud → share a live URL.**
