Neytom vs Railway
Railway is great for shipping apps fast. Neytom is for when you want an isolated stack per domain, EU infrastructure, and a bill you can explain.
| Railway | Neytom | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Usage PaaS | Isolated LXC + optional VPS |
| Pricing feel | Metered | Plan sticker price |
| Per-domain isolation | Service-centric | One stack per domain |
| Mail / SSL / backups | DIY / add-ons | Included on hosting plans |
| Git deploy | Native | Webhook + App Hosting / Coolify |
| Free trial | Credits | Nano 30 days, no card |
When Railway wins
Ephemeral services, hobby experiments, and teams already standardized on Railway’s DX. If your primary pain is “spin a service in 30 seconds,” stay.
When Neytom wins
- You host customer domains and need isolation, not shared neighbors.
- You want WordPress/Laravel/Node templates with SSL, mail, and ZFS backups.
- You need root/Docker later without leaving the same account — Cloud VPS.
- You care about a predictable monthly invoice for finance.
Migration path
Export env vars and volumes from Railway, deploy the matching stack on Neytom, cut DNS. Guide: Migrate. App path: App Hosting.
