Question 1

Is there a free trial? What are the terms and how long is it?

Accepted Answer

Yes: new users get a 7-day free trial. Nothing is charged to your card during the trial; the card is added only to verify the account with 3D Secure. The trial runs on Eko PaaS limits (1 project, 1 database, 0.5 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 5 GB NVMe disk, 30 GB traffic, custom domain and automatic SSL included). When it ends, the monthly price of the plan you selected is charged and the account moves to that plan. If the charge fails, the project is suspended and your data is not deleted. If you cancel, nothing is charged for the remaining days; the project stops at the end of the period and data is kept. The trial is once per user, and users with an active subscription are not eligible.

Question 2

What is PaaS (Platform as a Service), and how does it differ from shared hosting?

Accepted Answer

PaaS is a modern cloud infrastructure paradigm that completely eliminates tedious DevOps tasks like configuring web servers, managing dependencies, and manually renewing SSL certificates. Simply git push to GitHub, and our platform builds your repository in isolated containers. You never suffer from noisy neighbors or unexpected resource suspensions.

Question 3

How does the fixed Turkish Lira (TRY) price guarantee work? Am I protected from FX spikes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Skyversal provides predictable Turkish Lira (TRY) pricing, eliminating foreign exchange volatility. Foreign PaaS providers invoice in volatile USD with fluctuating monthly costs, whereas Skyversal provides consistent billing and compliant corporate tax invoices.

Question 4

What are the SEO and Core Web Vitals advantages of hosting in Turkey (Istanbul Equinix)?

Accepted Answer

Hosted in the Istanbul Equinix Tier III+ datacenter with direct fiber peering, our platform delivers 5-15ms Time to First Byte (TTFB) across regional visitors, boosting your Google PageSpeed scores, Core Web Vitals, and local search rankings.

Question 5

Which programming languages, frameworks, and runtimes are supported?

Accepted Answer

Skyversal natively supports Node.js, Next.js, Laravel/PHP, Python (FastAPI/Django), Go, Rust, Ruby, and Java. For custom runtime requirements, simply include a Dockerfile or nixpacks config in your repository.

Question 6

Are there dedicated performance optimizations for Next.js (SSR / SSG / ISR) projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our platform manages automatic next build cycles, dedicated persistent Node.js daemons for SSR, and in-memory caching for ISR and Next.js Image Optimization backed by regional Edge CDN delivery.

Question 7

How are Laravel Queue Workers, Horizon, and Cron Schedulers managed?

Accepted Answer

Persistent Horizon and queue workers run 24/7 as dedicated supervisor processes inside your isolated container. Scheduled tasks (artisan schedule:run) trigger automatically without third-party cron services.

Question 8

How can I migrate my project from Railway, Render, Heroku, or Vercel to Skyversal?

Accepted Answer

Simply link your GitHub repository, configure your environment variables (.env), and deploy. Our engineering team provides free live migration assistance to import your databases and assets seamlessly.

Question 9

What are the features of Managed Databases (Postgres, MySQL, Redis) and 0ms LAN latency?

Accepted Answer

One-click managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis clusters run on the same private datacenter LAN as your compute containers, ensuring near-zero network latency and automated daily snapshots.

Question 10

Do I have to buy a domain? Will I get a free address?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't have to buy a domain. Every project gets a free subdomain: you choose the name, and the address stays yours for as long as the project is live — it doesn't expire and there is no renewal fee. For example: your-project.skyversal.site. Domain registration (buying a .com/.net) is not included in the plans; if you want one, buy it from any registrar and connect it to your project free of charge — SSL is provisioned automatically.

Question 11

How do I connect custom domains and configure SSL certificates?

Accepted Answer

Custom domains and SSL certificates are free across all PaaS tiers. Once you point your DNS records, our edge layer automatically provisions and renews Let's Encrypt certificates every 90 days.

Question 12

What happens if I reach my bandwidth or compute quota? Are there hidden egress bills?

Accepted Answer

No hidden egress surprises. When you reach 80% or 95% of your quota, we notify you proactively. Your application remains online, and you can upgrade seamlessly whenever your workload expands.

Question 13

How does automated GitHub CI/CD, Live Logs, and Instant Rollback work?

Accepted Answer

Pushing code to your connected GitHub branch automatically triggers a build pipeline. You can stream real-time build and runtime logs from your terminal or console, with zero-downtime rollbacks to any previous release.

Question 14

Do you support corporate tax invoices, local cards (Troy), and 3D Secure checkout?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support all Turkish credit cards, Troy debit cards, iyzico 256-bit 3D Secure checkout, and corporate wire transfers with compliant Turkish VAT electronic invoicing.
