# Nhost

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/hosting/nhost/

Backend platform bundling a Postgres database, GraphQL APIs, authentication, file storage and serverless functions behind one project and one bill.

## Who it suits

Projects that want Postgres, GraphQL APIs, authentication, file storage and serverless functions as one provisioned project rather than five separate services, with unlimited users on every plan including the free one.

Consider something else if A free project pauses after a week of inactivity, the backups and point-in-time recovery that make it production-shaped start at Pro, and SOC 2 Type II is a Team line item at $599 a month.
