## What it is
PocketHost is an open-source, multi-tenant hosting platform for PocketBase that can run hundreds or thousands of isolated PocketBase instances on a single server or edge network. It bundles database, auth, SSL, custom domains, SFTP access, and Docker-based isolation behind a simple CLI and dashboard.

## Use cases
- host multiple pocketbase instances on one server
- self-host a pocketbase backend with ssl
- give each project its own pocketbase subdomain
- run a multitenant backend-as-a-service for indie apps
- deploy pocketbase with custom domains automatically
- migrate from firebase or supabase to pocketbase
- manage pocketbase instances via cli and sftp

## When to choose
- you want zero-config hosting for many PocketBase projects
- you need per-instance isolation, SSL, and custom domains out of the box
- you prefer an open-source, self-hostable alternative to Firebase or Supabase
- you want to run thousands of lightweight SQLite-backed instances on one VPS

## When to avoid
- you need a managed Postgres or relational database beyond SQLite
- you require heavy per-instance compute or dedicated resources
- you only host a single app and a plain PocketBase binary suffices
- you need enterprise-grade multi-region orchestration features
