Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ClodHost.

Getting Started

What is ClodHost? +

ClodHost gives you your own Linux server with Claude Code pre-installed and ready to go. Just describe what you want to build, and Claude will create it for you. No setup, no configuration, no DevOps knowledge required.

You get a real VPS (virtual private server) that you fully control, with your project accessible at a custom subdomain like yourproject.clodhost.com.

Do I need to know how to code? +

Nope! That's the whole point. Just describe what you want in plain English, and Claude will write and deploy the code for you. You can build complete web applications, APIs, bots, and more without writing a single line of code yourself.

That said, if you do know how to code, Claude becomes an incredibly powerful pair programmer that can help you move 10x faster.

How does billing work? +

It's completely free during the beta! We're not charging anything while we're in beta.

After beta, pricing will be a flat monthly rate for your server (starting at $25/month for a Small server). This includes:

  • Unlimited Claude usage (no token limits)
  • Your own dedicated Linux VPS
  • Free subdomain (yourname.clodhost.com)
  • Automatic HTTPS/SSL
  • Cloudflare CDN protection

Beta perk: If you sign up during the beta, you get 50% off for life!

No surprise bills, no usage-based pricing. What you see is what you pay.

Privacy & Security

Does Anthropic train on data used on ClodHost? +

No. We have opted out of training on your data. Your code, conversations, and files are not used to train Anthropic's models.

Your data stays your data.

Is my code and data private? +

Yes. Each user gets their own isolated VPS. Your code and data are stored on your server and are not accessible to other users (unless you explicitly share access).

You can also use the Share feature to give specific people access to view or collaborate on your project.

Who owns the code and files I create? +

You do. 100%. ClodHost claims absolutely no ownership over anything you build, create, or host on our platform.

Your code, your intellectual property, your files, your data - it's all yours. We're just providing the infrastructure and tools. We have no rights to your work, and we never will.

Build your startup, your side project, your million-dollar idea - it belongs entirely to you.

Will what I develop be secure? +

Claude is security-conscious by design. It follows security best practices when writing code - using parameterized queries, proper input validation, secure authentication patterns, and avoiding common vulnerabilities.

Want extra peace of mind? Just ask Claude: "Can you do a security audit of my code?" and it will do a thorough review - checking for SQL injection, XSS, authentication issues, exposed secrets, and other vulnerabilities. It's like having a security expert on call 24/7.

Capabilities

Can I make real iOS/Android apps? +

Yes! We recommend telling Claude to use Expo Go to build your app. This lets you test your app on your real phone while developing.

Once your app is working how you like, ask Claude: "How do I publish this to the App Store / Play Store?" and it will walk you through the process of making it a real, downloadable app.

Is this suitable for real websites with live customers? +

Absolutely. Many ClodHost users run production websites, SaaS apps, and customer-facing services on their servers.

You get a real VPS with full root access, so you can run databases, background jobs, cron tasks, and anything else a production website needs.

How much traffic can it handle? +

A lot. You'd be amazed what you can do on a single VPS. A Small server can handle thousands of concurrent users, and if you need more, just upgrade to Medium, Large, or XL.

We also put all your traffic behind Cloudflare's CDN, which caches static assets and protects against DDoS attacks. With proper caching, millions of visitors a day is no problem.

Can I run a backend here? +

Yes. You have a full Linux server at your control. Install anything you'd like: Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, PHP, Java, databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB), message queues, and more.

Claude can help you install and configure whatever you need.

What programming languages and frameworks are supported? +

All of them! Since you have a full Linux server, you can use any language or framework you want:

  • JavaScript/TypeScript: React, Vue, Next.js, Express, Node.js
  • Python: Django, Flask, FastAPI
  • PHP: Laravel, WordPress, vanilla PHP
  • Ruby: Rails, Sinatra
  • Go, Rust, Java, C# and more

Claude knows all of these and can help you build with whichever you prefer (or recommend one if you're not sure).

Can I use my own domain? +

Yes! You can connect your own domain (like myapp.com) to your ClodHost server. Just go to the Domains page to set it up.

We automatically provision SSL certificates for your custom domains, so your site will be served over HTTPS.

Can I access my server via SSH? +

Technically yes - you can ask Claude to set up SSH users and credentials for you.

But really, the whole point is you don't have to. Anything you'd want to do via SSH, you can just ask Claude to do it for you. Claude has full root access and can install packages, edit config files, run commands, and manage your server directly.

Can I take my data with me if I leave? +

Absolutely. There's no lock-in whatsoever. You have full root access to your server - it's a real Linux VPS that you control.

Just ask Claude to help you back up your files, export your databases, or transfer everything to another server. Claude can zip up your code, create database dumps, set up rsync, or whatever else you need to take your data with you.

Your code is your code. We're not holding it hostage.

Collaboration

Can multiple people work on the same project? +

Yes! You can share access to your chat and server with others using the Share button in the menu. Shared users can view the conversation and optionally send commands too.

For teams and classrooms, check out the Teams feature, which lets you create a group where members can spin up their own Claude sessions on your account.

Can I manage whole teams or classrooms with their own chats? +

Yes! The Teams feature is perfect for this. Here's how it works:

  • Create a team and get a unique join link
  • Share the link with your students, employees, or collaborators
  • Each person who joins gets their own Claude chat session
  • All sessions run on your account (you pay once, everyone benefits)
  • You can see all team members and their activity from the management page

It's great for coding bootcamps, university courses, company hackathons, or any situation where you want to give a group of people access to Claude without them each needing their own subscription.

Tips & Tricks

How do I debug when something isn't working? +

When your site or app isn't working right:

  1. Open your browser's Developer Console (F12 on Windows/Linux, or Cmd+Option+J on Mac)
  2. Look for red error messages in the Console tab
  3. Copy the entire error output
  4. Paste it to Claude and ask him to debug!

Claude can read error messages and usually fix issues automatically. The more context you give him, the faster he can help.

How do I upload files to my project? +

Click the + button at the bottom left of the chat. From there you can:

  • Upload images, documents, or any files for your project
  • Send quick commands (useful on mobile!)
  • Press Enter again if a command didn't go through

You can also just drag and drop files directly into the chat window.

Can I run multiple Claude sessions at once? +

Yes! Use the + button in the tabs or the hamburger menu to add more chats. You can:

  • Run multiple Claudes in parallel on the same server
  • Have Claude work on different parts of your project simultaneously
  • Switch between chats using the tabs at the top

This is great for complex projects where you want one Claude working on the frontend while another works on the backend.

What if Claude asks me to do something myself? +

Pro tip: Claude can be lazy sometimes! If he asks YOU to do something (like "run this command" or "create this file"), just ask HIM to do it instead.

Claude has full access to your server and can run commands, create files, and make changes directly. You rarely need to do anything manually.

Where can I see my website while it's being built? +

Your site is live at yourname.clodhost.com (whatever subdomain you chose when signing up).

Open it in another browser tab and refresh as Claude makes changes. You'll see your site update in real-time as Claude builds it!

You can find your subdomain in the hamburger menu at the top right of the chat.

You can also set up your own real domain (like myapp.com) at any time, for free, on the Domains page.

How do I restart Claude if it gets stuck? +

If Claude stops responding or gets into a weird state:

  • Click the hamburger menu ☰ and select "Restart Chat"
  • This starts a fresh Claude session while keeping all your files intact

Your code and data are stored on the server, so restarting the chat won't lose any work.

Support

How do I get help if I'm stuck? +

A few options:

  • Ask Claude: Claude can usually help debug issues and fix problems. Just describe what's going wrong.
  • Contact Support: Send us a message on the Support page and we'll help you out.
What if Claude breaks something? +

It happens! Claude is powerful but not perfect. If something breaks:

  • First, try telling Claude what went wrong and asking it to fix the issue.
  • Send Escape twice from the + menu to rollback both Claude's context and code changes. (Note: any database changes likely won't be rolled back.)
  • You can also use the "Restart Chat" option in the menu to start a fresh Claude session.
  • If things are really broken, you can always contact support and we can help restore your server.

Pro tip: Periodically ask Claude to commit your code to Git so you have restore points.
