# Ask for an app. It's running.

*Your own computer in the cloud.*

Handybox gives you a private cloud computer and an AI helper you message to set things up on it. **Everything you could do yourself, already done for you.**

From $19 a month · nothing to install · nothing technical to learn

## Watch it work

**Set up an app.** You: "Set up a status page for our customers." The helper saves a restore point, sets up a status page, gives it its own web address (`status-bloom.handybox.run`) and adds it to tonight's backup. "Done. Your status page is live and will be kept up to date."

**Fix a problem.** You: "Our notes feel slow today. Can you check?" The helper checks that Team notes is up, reads the last hour of its records, finds the cause (it had run out of memory), saves a restore point and gives it more memory. "Fixed. Pages were taking almost 6 seconds and now load right away." (5.8 s → 0.2 s)

**When it won't fit.** You: "Add error tracking for our website too." The helper checks how much room is left: it needs more room than the box has (9.1 of 8 GB). "I didn't install it, and nothing was changed. You can move to a bigger box or pick a lighter app."

## What you get

- **The computer: a private box that's only yours.** Not shared with anyone. It stays on day and night.
- **The helper: you message it. It does the work.** Setting up, fixing and updating, explained in plain words.
- **The address: every app opens in your browser.** For example `notes-yourname.handybox.run`.
- **The care: backed up nightly, watched by us.** Real people look after every box.

## You say it. It's handled.

There are no menus to learn. Write to your box the way you'd message a helpful colleague.

| You say | Your box does |
|---|---|
| "We need a place for team notes." | Sets up a notes app for your team at `notes-yourname.handybox.run` |
| "Why is our website slow today?" | Finds the cause and fixes it, then shows you before and after: 5.8 seconds down to 0.2 |
| "Message me when someone fills in our form." | Builds an automation that runs by itself, and keeps it running |
| "Save everything before I change this." | Saves a restore point, so you can go back to exactly this moment |
| "Add one more big app." | Tells you honestly if it won't fit. Nothing is changed, and it offers two ways forward |

## You could do all this yourself. Here's the list.

1. Rent a server
2. Lock it down
3. Install each app by hand
4. Connect web addresses
5. Set up secure connections
6. Create the databases
7. Schedule backups
8. Check the backups work
9. Update everything monthly
10. Watch memory and storage
11. Read logs when it breaks
12. Fix it at 2 am

**With Handybox: ask.** That's the whole list. The rest is done for you and stays done.

## It can't quietly break things

Your helper works inside firm limits, and our team watches every box.

- **Backed up every night.** Your whole box is copied somewhere safe and checked. Tonight's backup runs at 02:00.
- **It asks before anything risky.** Removing an app always waits for your yes.
- **Everything is written down.** A plain list of every change, with the time.

## Pricing: pick a box size

One monthly price with everything included. Change size any time by asking.

| Box | Price | Fits | Specs |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Small box](https://handybox.cloud/start?plan=starter) | $19 a month | Room for 2 or 3 small apps | 4 GB memory · 80 GB storage |
| [Medium box](https://handybox.cloud/start?plan=standard) | $39 a month | Room for 5 or 6 apps | 8 GB memory · 160 GB storage |
| [Big box](https://handybox.cloud/start?plan=pro) | $79 a month | Room for a dozen apps | 16 GB memory · 320 GB storage |

Every box includes: your helper, nightly backups, updates and upkeep, a web address for every app, and our team when you need a person.

## Questions

**Do I need to know anything technical?**
No. You describe what you want and your helper does the work. It explains what it did in plain words.

**What if it gets something wrong?**
It saves a restore point before every change, so anything can be undone. Your box is also backed up every night, and our team can step in.

**Do I log into the computer myself?**
There's nothing to log into. You message your helper and open your apps in a browser. That's how we keep every box safe.

**Can my apps use my own web address?**
Yes. Every app starts at an address ending in handybox.run. Ask to connect your own domain and your helper walks you through the one step you need to do.

**What happens when my box fills up?**
Your helper tells you before it's a problem. You can remove an app you no longer use or move to a bigger box.

**You already host apps for us. What changes?**
Nothing about the service. You also get the helper, so when something feels slow or broken you can ask it to check right away.

## Skip the list. Just ask.
