## Questions about Lua Hosting

### How do I host a Lua script 24/7?

Deploy a Container, pick Lua, upload your code, add your Environment Variables and start your server: easy as that! Your script keeps running, even if your computer is offline.

### Is this a VPS?

No, FPS.ms does not offer VPS hosting. Your Lua application runs in a container managed by FPS.ms. This means you never have to update its operating system, install security patches or keep the machine running yourself.

### Lua 5.4 or LuaJIT?

Both! Pick Lua 5.4 or LuaJIT 2.1, and switch between them whenever you like.

### How do my packages get installed?

Automatically! Your server installs the dependencies from your .rockspec with LuaRocks when it starts. You can also list extra rocks in the LuaRocks Packages setting. Rocks with C code, like luasocket, are compiled for you.

### Can people reach my Lua server from the internet?

Yes! Every server gets its own Public URL with HTTPS, so an API or a webhook works. Paid plans can pick the name or connect a domain.

### Can I deploy my app from GitHub?

Yes, you can deploy your code directly from GitHub, and even automatically (re)deploy your container when you push to your branch. If something breaks in your code, you can always roll back. GitHub deploys are a Pro feature.

### Do paid plans include a database?

Yes, every paid plan from 256 MB includes a MariaDB database.

### How does the free plan work?

A free plan has to be renewed every day to stay online, and at least once every 28 days to keep its data. More details on the [Free Lua Hosting page](https://fps.ms/free-lua-hosting).

## Ready to deploy your Lua application?

Start free. Add GitHub deploys, a database and your own domain when your application grows.
