Built by developers
who got tired of it.
Tired of promo pricing that triples on renewal. Tired of cPanel and VPS living in separate accounts. Tired of billing panels that hide what you're actually spending. We built Roost Hosting to fix that.
The problem we're solving
Most hosting companies are built around acquisition. Low intro prices, aggressive upsells, and renewal rates that assume you won't notice or won't leave. The panel UI exists to funnel you toward higher plans, not to help you manage your infrastructure.
We're building Roost Hosting around something different: transparent pricing, honest billing, and a panel that respects your time. The price you see is the price you pay — today and on every renewal. Your credit balance shows what you've spent, what's locked to running servers, and what's available to spend. Nothing hidden.
What we're building
One panel for VPS, shared hosting, and domains. Most developers and agencies manage a mix of all three, usually across three different providers, three separate invoices, and three logins. Roost Hosting brings them together.
VPS billing is hourly, drawn from a prepaid credit balance — the same model CloudCone pioneered, but with a modern panel and the billing transparency that model deserves. Shared hosting is cPanel-based with one-click SSO so you never type a second password. Domains come with free WHOIS privacy because there's no reason to charge for it.
And Roost AI is an assistant that actually knows your infrastructure — it can read logs, check disk, and walk through common tasks without you opening an SSH session.
