Root is back.

The anti-serverless server for your web app

Most apps run great on a VPS. Your side project doesn't need Kubernetes. Even high-traffic apps run fine on a single, well-configured server.

The cloud providers and app platforms are merchants of complexity. We're selling you a computer. One that works exactly like your development machine, except it's always on and has a fast internet connection.

It's your computer. We just keep it running.

Who this is for

  • • Developers tired of unclear pricing and surprise bills
  • • People running five side projects on one server (why pay five times?)
  • • DevOps teams wanting to self-host their entire stack
  • • AI hackers who need persistent environments for their agents
  • • Founders prototyping their next thing
  • • Anyone who believes computers should be simple, powerful, and yours

Everything, nothing hidden

Root access. Install anything. Run anything. Multiple apps, databases, cron jobs, Docker containers, CI/CD runners, git repositories—whatever you'd run on your laptop, you can run on Cassette.

Deploy however you want (we like Kamal, for example). Git push, rsync, drag and drop—we don't care. It's your computer.

Backups happen daily. Restore with one click. Monitoring that actually makes sense.

When you outgrow us (though you probably won't), take everything with you. Your code, your data, your configurations. No lock-in, because it's just Linux.

A server that just works

We took Ubuntu, added daily backups and smart monitoring. Then we got out of your way.

No abstractions. No proprietary tools. Just Linux, done right.

Three sizes

Size CPU RAM Storage Price
Small 1 CPU 1GB RAM 25GB $12/month
Medium 2 CPUs 2GB RAM 50GB $29/month
Large 4 CPUs 8GB RAM 100GB $99/month

Everything included: daily backups, system monitoring, firewall configuration, and support from actual humans. One flat price per server, no per-seat pricing, no metering, no surprise charges.

Join the waitlist

We're currently invite-only. Join the waitlist and we'll send you an invite soon.

Most people choose Medium—it handles real traffic and costs less than your streaming subscriptions. Need more power later? We'll resize it. Need less? We'll resize it.

No setup wizards. No configuration screens. Just a Linux box that works.
