Bring your own cloud account
DotDeployer never hosts your server itself. Connect one of six providers, or paste the IP of a server you already run, and DotDeployer provisions or bootstraps it, then deploys your app to it. The provider bills you directly for compute — DotDeployer's fee is separate and flat.
