# Aria > Aria is an AI-native self-hosted cloud: the ease of Vercel and Supabase on a server you own. Each plan is one dedicated cloud server that Aria sets up, hardens and runs for you, at one flat monthly price (draft prices from £8 a month ex VAT, in GBP). There are no charges per seat, per app, per database or per request. Your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor or any other) reads your repository and writes one aria.yaml stack file listing your services, databases and environment variables. Aria validates it, estimates the memory it needs, suggests the smallest plan that fits, then sets up the server and databases and deploys. You run it from a native Mac app (macOS 26) or the web dashboard. ## Key pages - [Home](https://getaria.cloud/): what Aria is and how it works - [About](https://getaria.cloud/about): Aria explained simply, and where each part stands today - [Pricing](https://getaria.cloud/pricing): one flat price per server, what each size is good for, FAQ - [Compare](https://getaria.cloud/compare): Aria vs Vercel, Supabase Cloud, Heroku, Render, Railway and raw VPS panels - [The Grid](https://getaria.cloud/grid): coming soon from Aria, an AI companion that runs your companies and your life for you - [Download](https://getaria.cloud/download): the Mac app (macOS 26 or later); a Windows app is planned - [Blog](https://getaria.cloud/blog): guides on self-hosting, pricing and deploying with AI agents - [Full LLM reference](https://getaria.cloud/llms-full.txt): complete comparison tables, plans, status and full guide text ## Cloud Server Plans - Starter: 2 vCPU, 4 GB memory, 40 GB disk, from £8 a month ex VAT. One app with a database. - Developer: 4 vCPU, 8 GB memory, 75 GB disk, from £15 a month ex VAT. A few services, Supabase, room for builds. - Pro: 6 vCPU, 12 GB memory, 100 GB disk, from £22 a month ex VAT. Bigger stacks and heavier traffic. - Business: 8 vCPU, 16 GB memory, 200 GB disk, from £30 a month ex VAT. Several apps or a busy one, with room to grow. - Scale: 8 vCPU, 24 GB memory, 200 GB disk, from £40 a month ex VAT. Many services, large databases, busy traffic. - Scale Plus: 16 vCPU, 32 GB memory, 400 GB disk, from £60 a month ex VAT. The biggest apps before a dedicated server. ## Dedicated Bare-Metal Servers (Planned) - Metal 1 (Planned): Intel Xeon-E (6C/12T), 32 GB memory, 2 × 512 GB NVMe, £100 a month ex VAT. Your first whole machine. - Metal 2 (Planned): Intel Xeon-E (6C/12T), 64 GB memory, 2 × 512 GB NVMe, £170 a month ex VAT. Twice the memory for big databases. - Metal 3 (Planned): AMD EPYC 4344P (8C/16T), 64 GB memory, 2 × 960 GB NVMe, £260 a month ex VAT. AMD EPYC with fast DDR5 memory. - Metal 4 (Planned): AMD EPYC 4464P (12C/24T), 64 GB memory, 2 × 960 GB NVMe, £350 a month ex VAT. Twelve cores for the heaviest workloads. ## Guides - [Deploy Next.js on your own server with Postgres and HTTPS](https://getaria.cloud/blog/deploy-nextjs-on-your-own-server): How to deploy a full-stack Next.js app with Postgres, Redis and background workers on your own dedicated server for one flat monthly price. - [Deploy with Claude Code: letting an AI agent ship safely](https://getaria.cloud/blog/deploy-with-claude-code): How to let Claude Code or Cursor deploy your app without handing over the keys: safe actions run, risky ones need approval, destructive ones need your say. - [Per-seat cloud pricing gets expensive: the flat-price alternative](https://getaria.cloud/blog/flat-price-vs-per-seat-cloud-pricing): Why per-seat and usage-based hosting bills climb with your team and traffic, and how one flat monthly price per server works instead. Draft from £8. - [A cheap Heroku, Render and Railway alternative on your own server](https://getaria.cloud/blog/heroku-render-railway-alternative): Why paying per dyno or per service adds up fast, and how running all your apps, workers and Postgres on one dedicated server keeps the bill flat. - [Slab by slab: how Aria builds your server](https://getaria.cloud/blog/how-aria-builds-your-server): A picture tour of what happens when you start with Aria: the three layers of your server, two-factor sign-in, and the choice between the Mac app and the web. - [MCP deployment with human approval: how Aria keeps AI agents safe](https://getaria.cloud/blog/mcp-server-deployment-human-approval): How Aria's MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor and coding agents inspect logs and deploy apps using three enforced safety levels: SAFE, CONTROLLED and DESTRUCTIVE. - [Move from Supabase Cloud to your own server: a guided path](https://getaria.cloud/blog/move-from-supabase-cloud): Leaving Supabase Cloud? See what moves with pg_dump, what doesn't (Storage, Auth secrets, Edge Functions), and how Aria guides the move to your own server. - [How to self-host Supabase (and when not to do it by hand)](https://getaria.cloud/blog/self-host-supabase-guide): A plain guide to self-hosting Supabase: what you need, what to check after docker compose up, and a simpler route if you would rather not run it yourself. - [A Vercel alternative where you own the server](https://getaria.cloud/blog/vercel-alternative-own-server): Looking for a Vercel alternative? See how one dedicated server compares on price, databases and effort, and when Vercel is still the better pick. ## Facts - Services: web, api, worker and static sites from one repository. Builds with Railpack or your Dockerfile. Build and runtime logs; rollback in about two seconds; new commits redeploy only the services they touch. - Data: Postgres, Redis and the official self-hosted Supabase (Auth, REST, Realtime, Storage, Studio), with a guided move from Supabase Cloud. SMTP email for your apps. - Domains with automatic HTTPS. Environment variables are wired in (database addresses, generated secrets); you add only what Aria can't know. - AI safety: every action has a level. Look (status, logs) runs straight away; Change (deploys, restarts, settings) waits for your approval; Delete (servers, databases) needs you to type the name. Aria enforces this, not the AI, and the same rules apply to Claude Code and other agents over MCP. - Plans can move up: Aria watches memory, CPU and disk and suggests a bigger plan when the server runs short. - Some parts are still being rolled out; the About page says where each one stands.
