Beta This is a new service — your feedback will help us to improve it.

One euro.
One box.
Ship it.

A container, running your code, in the EU, for a euro a month plus VAT. No fluff.

$ dollarbox

Get a box

Read the getting started guide — kubeconfig to a running IPv6 service.

How it works

01
$ sign up

Create an account. Enter a card. You get a namespace.

02
$ deploy your way

Use click-and-deploy simple mode, or a namespace-scoped kubeconfig for kubectl apply. The getting started guide walks the kubectl path end to end.

03
$ done

Your container is live. IPv6 address assigned. One euro (plus VAT) leaves your account each month — or eleven a year.

What you don't get

We'd rather tell you up front. These are constraints, not apologies.

  • No uptime SLA
  • No backups in the base price — off-site volume backups are a paid add-on, and everything else is your responsibility
  • No support beyond documentation and a community Discord — the invite goes out when you sign up
  • IPv6-only (NAT64 gateway for outbound IPv4; no inbound IPv4 address or proxy)
  • No persistent storage beyond your allocation
  • No managed databases, no autoscaling, no magic

FAQ

IPv6-only? Really?

Yes. IPv6 is how the modern internet runs. We include a NAT64 gateway so your containers can reach IPv4 services — outbound only. If your use case requires a public IPv4 address pointing at your container, this isn't the right host for you. More on IPv6 and NAT64.

What does "NAT64" mean in practice?

Outbound traffic to IPv4-only services (npm, Docker Hub, GitHub, most of the public internet) is translated automatically. Inbound traffic must come over IPv6 — the gateway does not work in that direction, and we don't offer a shared IPv4 address or proxy.

What container images can I run?

Any public Linux image from Docker Hub, GHCR, Quay, or anywhere else. See container images for examples and pinning advice. Private registries are Phase 2.

How do I point a hostname at my container?

One AAAA record at your DNS provider. DNS setup walkthrough.

What support do I get?

Documentation. A community Discord — the invite arrives with your signup confirmation email, it isn't published here. Best-effort responses. At €1/month we cannot fund a support team. If something on our infrastructure breaks, we fix it. If your container breaks, that's on you.

Why does my total say €1.23?

Prices are €1/month or €11/year per container, excluding VAT. If you're an EU consumer, VAT is added at 23% — so €1.23/month or €13.53/year. Businesses in the EU (outside Ireland) with a valid VAT number aren't charged VAT (reverse charge — you account for it locally). Outside the EU there's no VAT — except the UK, where 20% UK VAT applies (UK signups are temporarily unavailable while our UK VAT registration completes). The exact total is always shown before you pay.

Can I earn credit for referring people?

Yes. Share your referral link from the dashboard. When a developer signs up through it, stays 30 days and pays €2 of usage, you get €1 of credit — one box-month — on your next invoice. They pay normal prices; nobody is told who referred whom. How referrals work.

Where does my data live?

EU-hosted, GDPR-applicable. We don't sell or share your data. See the Privacy Policy.

What happens if I abuse the service?

We terminate the account, report to relevant authorities if applicable. Abuse contact: abuse@dollarbox.dev.
