How It Works

From zero to production
in four steps

No DevOps degree required. SharkCluster handles provisioning, configuration, and deployment — you pick the plan, deploy the code, and go live. Compare providers, deploy your stack, create apps with domains and SSL, and set up backups and monitoring in minutes.

No. The panel installs and configures the web server, runtime, database and services, so nothing in normal setup requires a shell. If you want one, there is a terminal in the browser and the root password is yours.

Open only the ports you need in the firewall, add your SSH key, point a domain and issue SSL, create your application, set a backup schedule, and set a disk health alert at 80 percent. Then restore a backup once, so you know the path works before you need it.

Usually a few minutes, and longer for large stacks. You choose a plan and region, pick how the server starts, and the page becomes an installation log: the server is ordered, SSH becomes available, packages install and the stack is configured. You can leave the page — the server shows as Installing and becomes Running when it finishes.
