Hosting that someone actually looks after
Kernel6 puts your website on the internet, keeps it there, and tells you the moment something goes wrong — without you having to learn how servers work.
Who it is for
- Small businesses that need a website running reliably and would rather not hire someone to babysit a server.
- Agencies and freelancers who build sites for clients and need somewhere dependable to run them after handover.
- Developers who know how to build an app and do not want to spend their evenings on the parts around it.
Prices are in rupees, and support is a contact form that reaches a person.
The problem
Building a website has never been easier. Keeping one online is a different job, and it is mostly invisible until it goes wrong. Running your own server means SSH keys, a web server configuration, HTTPS certificates that expire, a process manager to restart your app, firewall rules, operating-system updates — and finding out at three in the morning, from a customer, that the site has been down for hours.
The alternatives tend to trade that work for something else: shared hosting where a neighbour's traffic slows you down, or platforms priced in dollars per seat, per site and per gigabyte, where the bill is hard to predict.
What Kernel6 does
- Your own server. On the Dedicated plan you get a server with 1 CPU and 4 GB of memory for ₹2,000 a month, with as many websites on it as it will hold.
- Deploys from your Git repository. Paste the repository address and press Deploy. Kernel6 installs, builds and starts your app, and shows every step as it happens.
- HTTPS without thinking about it. Every website gets a secure address, and your own domain works with one DNS record. Certificates renew themselves.
- Someone watching it. Your app's health is checked every five minutes, and you get an email if it stops — and another when it is back.
- Secrets handled properly. API keys and passwords are stored encrypted and kept out of your code.
How we build it
Say what is true
The dashboard shows a project as live because the server says it is running right now, not because a deploy once succeeded. A deploy only says "successful" once the site answers from the internet; if it runs but cannot be reached, the log says so. If something is wrong, we would rather show you an honest red badge than a reassuring green one.
Price the thing that costs money
What we rent from Amazon is a server, so that is what we charge for — not a website count that has nothing to do with what your sites cost to run. The reasoning is in Why every Kernel6 customer gets their own server.
No lock-in
Your code stays in your own repository, and it runs as an ordinary Node.js app or static site — nothing in it is specific to Kernel6. If you leave, you take your repository and go. You can cancel from your account at any time, with no notice period.
Explain it plainly
Where you have to do something technical — like adding a DNS record — we tell you exactly what to type and where, rather than assuming you already know.
Where things run
Kernel6 runs on Amazon Web Services. Customer websites run on servers we set up and manage on AWS. Our security page describes how we protect them.
