Question 1

What is DeployFrappe?

Accepted Answer

DeployFrappe is a managed hosting platform built specifically for Frappe Framework applications. It lets you deploy ERPNext, Frappe HR, Frappe CRM, Frappe LMS, Helpdesk, and any custom Frappe app in minutes — without managing servers, databases, SSL certificates, or bench configurations.

Question 2

Which Frappe apps can I host on DeployFrappe?

Accepted Answer

Any Frappe Framework app. ERPNext, Frappe HR (HRMS), Frappe CRM, Frappe LMS, Helpdesk, Drive and Wiki install straight from the dashboard. Anything else — a marketplace app, your own app, or a fork — installs from a public or private GitHub repository, down to a specific branch or tag.

Question 3

How long does it take to deploy a Frappe site?

Accepted Answer

A new site is usually live in under five minutes. Pick a plan, choose the apps you want installed, and the site comes up on a deployfrappe.com subdomain with SSL already in place. You can point a custom domain at it whenever you're ready.

Question 4

Will my site get suspended or slow down if we use it a lot?

Accepted Answer

No. We never throttle or suspend a site for using it, and there is no usage meter to watch — your site is yours to work as hard as you like. Each site runs on its own server, so no other customer's site competes with yours. Performance plans add dedicated vCPU if you need guaranteed cores.

Question 5

Will I get a surprise bill at the end of the month?

Accepted Answer

Never. We charge a flat monthly rate per plan — the price you see is exactly what you pay, every month. There is no usage meter, so you can run reports, bulk imports, background jobs, and heavy workflows without the bill moving.

Question 6

Do I need Docker or GitHub to deploy my Frappe site?

Accepted Answer

No Docker, no containers, no deployment pipelines. DeployFrappe runs a native Frappe bench installation — the same way experienced Frappe developers self-host. This means simpler setup, faster restarts, easier debugging, and no 'Stuck on Deploy Candidate' errors. For custom apps, you can install from any GitHub repository (public or private) — no special pipeline configuration required.

Question 7

Is DeployFrappe a Frappe Cloud alternative?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Frappe Cloud's site plans run on shared servers with a daily CPU-time allowance — once it is used up, their control plane rate-limits further requests until the window resets, and sites that exceed their database or disk allowance are suspended until the plan is upgraded. At DeployFrappe every plan gets its own server, so there is no shared pool, no usage meter and no allowance to exceed.

Question 8

How is DeployFrappe different from self-hosting Frappe?

Accepted Answer

The stack is the same — a native bench installation, set up the way you would set it up yourself, with no Docker and no deployment pipeline in between. What changes is who carries it: provisioning, MariaDB tuning, Redis, Nginx, Supervisor, SSL renewal, daily backups, monitoring and OS security patching are ours. You still get SSH and full server access, so nothing is hidden from you, and you can export a standard Frappe backup and move elsewhere at any time.

Question 9

Can I install custom or private Frappe apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on every plan. You can install any Frappe app from a public GitHub repo, a private repo, or even a specific branch or tag. No platform-specific pipelines, no release hashes required. Just point us to the repo and we handle the rest.

Question 10

Does DeployFrappe handle Frappe and ERPNext updates?

Accepted Answer

We handle the server: security patches and kernel updates run in a predictable weekly maintenance window, with no surprise reboots. Frappe and ERPNext version upgrades stay under your control, because only you know when your customisations and data are ready for one. Clone production to a staging site, run the upgrade there, and promote it once it passes.

Question 11

Do I need to know how to use bench or manage Linux servers?

Accepted Answer

No. DeployFrappe handles everything — bench setup, MariaDB configuration, Redis, Nginx, Supervisor, and all OS-level dependencies. You interact only with a simple dashboard to manage your Frappe sites, install apps, run updates, and configure domains.

Question 12

Does DeployFrappe support custom domains and SSL?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can connect any custom domain — including subdomains — to your Frappe site. SSL/TLS certificates are automatically provisioned via Let's Encrypt and renewed before expiry. HTTPS is enforced by default. Domain setup typically propagates in under 5 minutes.

Question 13

Can I run more than one Frappe site?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Run as many sites as you need under one account and watch CPU, RAM and status for all of them from a single dashboard. Each site keeps its own server, database, SSL certificate and custom domain, so a busy site never competes with a quiet one, and upgrading one site cannot disturb another.
