AI App Hosting Switzerland. Your AI-built software, from laptop to secure server.
You built your own software with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and it works. But only on your laptop. We move it onto a Linux server in our Swiss datacenters, set up properly with Docker, Git and SSH, protected by VPN and backed up every hour. So your team or your customers can work with it.
It runs on the laptop. For your team, it needs to run on a server.
We turn your AI prototype into a professional operation, in Switzerland.
Vibe coding is fast. Running it is a different discipline.
With AI tools like Claude Code, Codex or Cursor you can build an app in a few days that used to need a development team. As soon as employees or customers are meant to use it, new questions come up. Typical pitfalls we see in almost every project:
- The app only runs on localhost, meaning only on your own laptop.
- API keys and passwords sit directly in the code or the Git repository.
- The database is a file on the laptop, with no backup.
- A cheap server abroad is wide open to the internet, SSH access included.
- Nobody notices when the app goes down or the disk is full.
What we take care of when setting up your AI software server.
Linux servers provisioned
We provide the Linux servers you need (Debian or Ubuntu) in our Swiss private cloud, sized for your app and expandable at any time.
Move from laptop to server
We package your software into Docker containers and move it, data included, onto the server. It runs there exactly as it does on your machine.
Git and deployment
Your code is versioned in Git, usually right on your server. You roll out new versions with one command, and there is always a way back.
VS Code, Git and SSH on Mac and PC
We set up VS Code, Git, SSH keys and VPN on your Macs and PCs. Then you work with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor directly on the server.
Databases set up
PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL or Redis, properly installed, secured and part of the hourly backup. Instead of a database file on a laptop.
Security advice
Where do API keys belong, who may do what, which ports stay closed? We give concrete advice for a secure, high-performance setup.
VPN-only servers
On request your server is reachable only via VPN and invisible on the internet. Far better protected than any publicly exposed server.
Internal SSL certificates
Our own ACME server issues valid SSL certificates (HTTPS) for internal apps too, renewed automatically, no browser warnings.
Hourly backup in Switzerland
An encrypted backup of the whole server every hour, kept for 6 months and replicated to a second Swiss datacenter.
We look after your server. You develop your app.
| Task | ClearMedia | You |
|---|---|---|
| Provision and harden Linux servers | not your concern | |
| Operating system and security updates | not your concern | |
| Firewall, VPN and SSL certificates | not your concern | |
| Hourly backup and restore | not your concern | |
| Monitoring availability and load | not your concern | |
| Docker and databases (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, Redis) | set up and maintained | used by your app |
| Features and business logic of your app | support on request | |
| Priorities and further development | advisory |
From laptop to server in four steps.
Intro call and app check
You show us your app. We look at code, data and dependencies and tell you honestly what secure operation requires.
Provision the server
Linux server in our Swiss private cloud, with firewall, VPN, backup and monitoring from day one.
Move and set up workstations
App moved to the server with Docker, database migrated, Git set up. Plus VS Code, SSH keys and VPN on your Macs and PCs.
Operation
We run the server as a managed server: updates, backup, monitoring. You keep developing your app, with your AI as before.
Servers nobody on the internet can find.
Most self-built apps are meant for your own team, not for the whole world. That is why we offer virtual servers that are reachable only via VPN. Anyone outside the VPN cannot even see the server, and what cannot be seen cannot be attacked.
- No open ports on the internet, not even SSH.
- Access for your team via VPN, on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android.
- Our own ACME server: valid SSL certificates for internal apps too, renewed automatically.
- Public only where it has to be, for example a customer portal.
- Servers and data stay in our datacenters in Zurich.

We build on this stack ourselves. That is why we know what it takes.
Many of our own apps are built exactly this way: with AI tools, Docker, Git and Linux servers in Switzerland. If you need help, we support you now and then when problems come up, with code reviews and security checks, or we take over development entirely. A few examples from our practice:
- Tools for fiduciary and accounting firms
- CRM and PMS for asset managers
- Complete financial accounting
- Time and billing capture for law firms
- zifra, our own AI tool for accounts payable (zifra.ch)
Docker, Git, SSH, VPN: what your AI recommends, briefly explained.
Ask ChatGPT, Claude or Codex how to run a self-built app professionally and you usually get a list of terms: Linux server, Docker, Git, SSH, VPN, SSL, backup. All correct, but not much help if you have never set up a server. Here are the key terms in two sentences each, and what we take care of for you.
Linux server
A computer in a datacenter that runs around the clock and is reachable over the network. With us it is a virtual server in our Swiss private cloud, in Zurich City and Zurich Rümlang, from CHF 49 per month including backup, traffic and firewall.
Docker
Docker packs your app with everything it needs into a container. It runs on the server exactly as on your laptop, which saves you the classic "but it worked on my machine".
Git
Git is version control for your code: every change is traceable and any earlier version can be restored. In most projects we set up Git directly on your server, and we are happy to connect GitHub or GitLab if you already use them.
SSH and VS Code Remote
SSH is the encrypted access to the server, with a key instead of a password. With VS Code or Cursor and Remote-SSH you work directly on the server, together with Claude Code or Codex.
Database
Almost every app stores data, usually in PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL or SQLite, often with Redis as a fast cache. On the server we set up the right database properly, secure it and include it in the hourly backup.
VPN
A VPN is an encrypted tunnel between your device and the server. If your server is only reachable via VPN, it is invisible on the internet and far better protected. More on our Firewall & VPN page.
SSL certificate and ACME
The certificate gives you the padlock in the browser (HTTPS). For public apps we use Let's Encrypt, for internal apps behind the VPN our own ACME server. ACME is the protocol that renews certificates automatically.
Backup
We back up your whole server every hour, encrypted, and keep the backups for 6 months, replicated to a second datacenter in Switzerland. If something goes wrong, the state from an hour ago is quickly back.
Sensitive data and AI
If your software processes customer, client or personal data that must not leave Switzerland, we combine the server with our AI infrastructure: your own language models in our Swiss datacenters instead of a US cloud. That is how we work ourselves, for example with zifra, our AI tool for accounts payable.

What customers ask about running their AI app.
You need a server that runs the app around the clock, a database, a backup and secure access. We provide a Linux server in our Swiss datacenters, move your app with Docker and Git and set up SSH, VPN and SSL certificates. After that we run the server as a managed server, and you keep developing the app.
No, that is exactly what we are here for. Most of our customers in this area built their software with AI and have never set up a server. We explain every step in plain words and take care of everything server-related.
A Linux server in our Swiss private cloud starts at CHF 49 per month, including hourly backup, traffic and firewall. Setup, migration and support are billed by time and material. After the intro call you get a clear quote.
For professional operation, yes, which is why your AI recommends these tools. Docker makes the app run on the server just like locally, Git makes every change traceable, and SSH is the secure access to the server. We set it all up, you do not have to learn it yourself.
A server that is reachable exclusively through a VPN and has no open ports on the internet. Attackers cannot even find it. For internal apps used only by your team, this is far safer than a publicly reachable server. You still get valid SSL certificates through our own ACME server.
Yes. We set up VS Code or Cursor with Remote-SSH, Git and VPN on your Macs and PCs. Then you work with Claude Code, Codex or GitHub Copilot directly on the server, as if it were your laptop.
All common ones: PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL and Redis, others on request. We install and secure the database, include it in the hourly backup and migrate existing data from your laptop.
Not necessarily. In most projects the Git repository lives directly on your server in Switzerland, which is entirely sufficient. If you already use GitHub or GitLab, we are happy to connect it.
That depends on the data and your obligations. If customer, client or personal data must not leave Switzerland, we combine your server with our AI infrastructure: your own language models in our Swiss datacenters, with no data flowing to US clouds. We are happy to advise you.
We back up the whole server every hour, encrypted, with 6 months retention and replication to a second datacenter in Switzerland. Recovery typically takes less than 15 minutes, with at most one hour of data loss.
Yes, as needed. From occasional help with problems to code reviews and security checks to complete further development. We build many apps on this stack ourselves and know the typical pitfalls.
