Add-On Apps

Panther & Cub Hosting isn't limited to just websites. We can also host business applications and internal tools to support your operations — from email marketing to analytics, file storage, workflow automation, and custom brand tools.

These apps run on your VPS alongside your main site, so everything is integrated and managed under one roof.

How App Hosting Works​

Pooled Hosting:

  • Only supports 1 application (your website or single app).
  • Cannot add additional apps — pooled resources don't support multi-app workloads.

Private VPS Hosting:

  • Your first VPS ($49 AUD/mo) can run multiple applications until resource limits are reached.
  • Need more capacity? We add additional VPS instances at a discounted rate.

Pricing:

  • 1st Private VPS: $49 AUD/month
  • 2nd Private VPS: $44 AUD/month
  • 3rd+ Private VPS: $39 AUD/month each

Example Apps We Host​

Lightweight:

  • Listmonk → email newsletters & campaigns, self-hosted alternative to Mailchimp.
  • Plausible / Umami → privacy-friendly website analytics.

Resource Intensive:

  • Nextcloud → file storage & sharing platform.
  • Metabase / Superset → business intelligence dashboards.
  • n8n → workflow automation engine.

App Setup Fees​

App deployment and configuration is billed separately from monthly hosting:

  • Simple apps: $150–250 AUD one-time setup
  • Complex apps: $300–500 AUD one-time setup

This covers initial deployment, configuration, SSL setup, and integration with your existing stack.

Why Choose Add-On Apps?​

  • Own your data → no reliance on third-party SaaS.
  • Unlimited use → no contact/email caps (e.g. unlike Mailchimp).
  • Integrated stack → hosted alongside your site, on your own VPS.
  • Managed for you → installation, updates, and monitoring included.
Key Points
  • Multiple apps require a private VPS
  • Monthly cost = number of VPS instances (volume discounts apply)
  • Setup fees are separate from monthly hosting fees
