ShipDock was born out of frustration. We watched as PaaS providers slowly boiled the frog, turning $5/mo hobby projects into $500/mo enterprise bills for nothing more than basic NAT routing and standard bandwidth.
The ShipDock Founders, 2026
You bought the hardware. You should own the environment. We are just the orchestration bridge.
If ShipDock goes down tomorrow, your servers stay up. We don't hijack your Traefik router or inject proprietary dependencies.
No bandwidth markups. No per-GB transfer costs. Pay a flat SaaS rate and connect 100 terabytes of your own hardware if you want.
We dogfood everything we build. Our own marketing site (what you are viewing right now), our Django backend API, and our ASGI web-socket clusters run entirely on ShipDock itself natively connected to standard Hetzner dedicated servers.
