# Introduction

> Dedicated Linux VMs in EU data centers, billed by the hour. Use them as plain VPSes or one-click-deploy open-source apps from a curated marketplace.

## What is Suji?

Suji is dedicated Linux VMs in EU data centers, billed by the hour. There are two ways to use one:

* **As a server you control.** SSH in, run whatever you want. The dashboard still gives you a web terminal, file editor, live logs, a firewall manager, and on-demand snapshots, no Linux-ops chores needed unless you want them.
* **As a one-click app target.** Pick an app from the marketplace (OpenClaw, n8n, Ghost, NocoDB, Plausible, Wiki.js, Minecraft, …), fill in its config (API keys, tokens, options), click **Deploy**. Within minutes the app is live at `https://<name>.suji.fr` with a real HTTPS certificate.

Both at once works. Run a marketplace app and your own services side by side on the same VM.

Every customer runs on their own VM with root access. No shared runtime, no shared filesystem, no other tenants inside your machine.

  <Card title="Dedicated VMs" icon="shield-halved">
    Your VM is yours alone, no shared kernel, no shared filesystem, no shared network with other customers.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Full ops in the dashboard" icon="screwdriver-wrench">
    Web terminal, file editor, live logs, firewall rules, snapshots, resize. All from the browser. SSH still works if you prefer it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="One-click app marketplace" icon="grid">
    Curated catalog of open-source apps with vetted compose files. Install, upgrade, uninstall from the dashboard. Skip it entirely if you don't need it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Built-in HTTPS ingress" icon="globe">
    Apps you mark "exposed" get a `*.suji.fr` URL with a real certificate. No DNS to manage, no certs to renew.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Hourly billing, no surprises" icon="credit-card">
    Pay per VM per hour from prepaid credits. Stop or destroy your VM any time.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    Sign up at [app.suji.cloud/register](https://app.suji.cloud/register), verify your email, and add credit from the Billing page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Spin up a VM">
    Pick a name, a size (Small / Medium / Large / XL) and a region. The VM is online in 1–2 minutes, with SSH access and a public IP.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it">
    Either install a marketplace app (one-click form-driven deploy) or treat it as a plain Linux box (SSH in, do whatever). You can also do both on the same VM.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manage from one place">
    Logs, terminal, file editor, firewall, snapshots, resize. Everything's in the dashboard. Top up credits when low; we email before you hit zero.
  </Step>
</Steps>
