About Redon3
Redon3 is a small hosting service that rents "panels" — isolated containers that run a Node.js app, a Python script, or a static site without setting up a VPS. Each panel comes with a browser file manager, a web terminal, live logs that stay readable after a process exits (with the exit code), encrypted environment variables, and start/stop/restart controls. Panels run in 30-day periods and are sized by RAM.
Its distinguishing feature is an MCP connector: you can link ChatGPT or Claude to your own Redon3 account over OAuth, and the assistant gets a documented set of tools (the site says 28) to write files, set the runtime and start file, start or restart a panel, read crash logs, manage env var names, apply a template, and claim a custom domain. The site states the assistant cannot delete a panel, spend money, read stored secret values, or reach other accounts. Everything the AI can do is also available to do by hand.
Typical uses the site highlights are small websites, APIs, workers, scheduled jobs, and Telegram or Discord bots.
What Redon3 does
- MCP connector for ChatGPT and Claude
- Links an assistant to your own Redon3 account over OAuth so it can write files, set the runtime, and restart a panel from the chat where the code was written.
- Node.js, Python, or static panels
- Runs each project in its own container with the runtime and start file you choose, without provisioning a VPS.
- Browser terminal and file manager
- Gives every plan a web shell and file editor so you can deploy or fix a panel by hand.
- Logs that survive a crash
- Keeps recent output readable after a process exits and attaches the exit code, which is what makes the troubleshooting loop possible.
- Encrypted environment variables
- Stores secrets per panel and exposes only the variable names, never the stored values.
- Scoped AI permissions
- Blocks the connected assistant from deleting a panel, spending money, reading secret values, or touching another account.
- Custom domains and public URLs
- Lets a panel claim a domain and check its DNS, or run on a Redon3 subdomain.
- Start, stop, and restart controls
- Puts process control in the panel UI so a bot or worker can be cycled at any time.
Who it’s for
Solo developers and indie makers who want a cheap place to park a small site, API, worker, or Telegram/Discord bot without administering a VPS, and who already work with ChatGPT or Claude and want the assistant to handle deploys and crash-fixing. Teams needing autoscaling, managed databases, CI/CD pipelines, or contractual uptime guarantees should skip it — these are small fixed-RAM 30-day panels, not a managed cloud platform.
What it costs
Three paid panel tiers, each billed per 30 days and sized by RAM: Starter at $4.99 for 450MB, Builder at $8.99 for 1GB, and Pro at $12.99 for 2GB. Every tier includes the same file manager, browser terminal, live logs, and the AI/MCP connection at no extra cost, and you can buy multiple panels. New accounts can get one free trial panel, after which a paid plan is required to keep hosting.
