One bill, not ten
A dozen client apps on a hosted PaaS is a dozen line items. On Railyard they share one server at one flat price, so the margin stays yours.
No server yet? We lend you a free 4GB test server for 7 days.
Every client project on one server. One flat bill.
Stop paying a separate hosting bill for each client and re-explaining invoices. Put every site, app and database on one server you control, deploy with a push, and keep it all for a flat monthly price.
No credit card · No cloud account needed to test · or use email
Hand off cleanly
Each client gets an isolated app, domain and HTTPS. When a contract ends, move the app or hand the client their own team.
Look professional
Custom domains, automatic HTTPS, verified backups and a status page per project, without wiring any of it yourself.

How do I bill clients?
However you like. Railyard charges you a flat team price; you set your own rates. Many freelancers fold hosting into a retainer.
Can I give a client access?
Yes. Invite them to their app with a role, or hand them their own team and move the app across.
What if I stop freelancing?
Your apps keep running on your own server. Railyard is only needed to change them.
