Frequently asked questions
Omeganodes is push-to-deploy hosting on EU servers that you can pay by card, PayPal or MTN and Airtel mobile money; the answers below cover payments, data, domains and refunds.
Everything you need to know about Omeganodes.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
- No. The Free plan requires no credit card. When you upgrade you can pay by card or PayPal (instant), or with MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money or bank transfer, which our team confirms by hand, usually within one working day.
What languages and frameworks are supported?
- Anything that runs in a container: Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, Rust, Java, and more. If you have a Dockerfile or Nixpacks-compatible project, it runs on Omeganodes.
How long does a deployment take?
- It depends on your project: the build log shows every step live, and later deploys reuse the build cache so they are faster than the first.
Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. Point your DNS to our servers, add the domain in your project settings, and we automatically provision an SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt.
Why does the price depend on my country?
- Prices follow your billing country: one price for the EU/EEA and other advanced economies, and lower regional prices everywhere else, so the platform is affordable wherever you build. Every EU country pays the same price.
Where is my data stored?
- On dedicated servers in Falkenstein, Germany, in the EU, under EU data-protection law. Our Data Processing Agreement and the list of sub-processors are public on the DPA page.
Can I get a refund?
- Payments are not refunded except where the law requires it (see our Terms, section 5). You can cancel at any time and keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for. If something went wrong on our side, open a support ticket and we will look at it.
How is Omeganodes different from Heroku or Render?
- Omeganodes is a Heroku alternative with a free plan that does not expire and paid plans from €5 to €25 a month, or €3 to €18 in Africa, Latin America and most of Asia (see Pricing). Your plan price is the whole price: there is no compute bill on top. European businesses get invoices with VAT, and you can pay by card, PayPal or MTN and Airtel mobile money. Apps run on dedicated servers in Germany under EU data-protection law.
Who is behind Omeganodes?
- Omega Nodes Company Ltd, a company incorporated in Uganda (Luweero, TIN 1058723166) and founded for East African developers and startups. Card and PayPal payments are invoiced by Omega Nodes Italia, in Italy. Our status page, trust page, Data Processing Agreement and sub-processors are public, and you can cancel any time. More on the About page.
Who is Omeganodes not for?
- Omeganodes runs web apps, APIs, workers and databases in containers on servers in Germany. It is not the right fit if you need GPUs, want to run your own Kubernetes cluster, need your servers in a country other than Germany, or need a provider with a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report today (see the Trust page).
Where can I check if Omeganodes is having an outage?
- Open the public status page at /status. It reports worker-node health and published incidents and refreshes about once a minute.
What is Omega AI?
- Omega AI is an AI assistant inside the back office of WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento, OpenMage, Joomla and Drupal sites. You ask in plain words, review every proposed change and apply it or undo it. The connectors are free and work wherever your site is hosted; usage is paid with prepaid credits. See the Omega AI page.
Can Omega AI change my shop without my approval?
- No. It only proposes changes: nothing is saved until you confirm, large changes need a second confirmation, every applied change can be undone, and it can switch a product off but never delete it. The connectors never read your customers or orders.
