# 👋 Welcome to PocketHost
## Overview
PocketHost hosts your [PocketBase](https://pocketbase.io) projects, so you don't have to. Create a project like you would in Firebase and Supabase and let PocketHost do the rest.
PocketHost is a cloud hosting platform for PocketBase. You can use it to instantly provision a PocketBase backend for your latest project. Features include:
- Create unlimited PocketBase projects, each with a custom subdomain or custom vanity domain
- Each instance runs on a subdomain of `pockethost.io`
- Access your PocketBase instance using the PocketBase JavaScript SDK as easily as `new PocketBase('https://my-project.pockethost.io')`
- Run your instance in an ultra-beefy shared environment
