A real Linux server
with an AI agent built in.
Hosting that does the work for you. Your server comes with an AI agent living on it — tell it to build a site, ship an app, or fix a bug, and it writes the code, runs the commands, and puts it live with SSL. And it's still a real server: your files, real SSH, real cron.
Real hardware. Real Linux. No abstraction layer.
Every account is a real user on a managed box — not a container that vanishes, not a serverless function. Your files persist, your cron runs, your logs are yours to tail.
Runs as your UID. Save a file, it's live — no build, no deploy step.
Composer, pip (venv), npm — everything installs into your home tree.
SQLite databases as plain files at ~/data/. Copy, back up, SFTP them.
Your subdomain included; custom domains with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt.
Keys or password. Point Cursor / VS Code at your home and edit live.
Your UID owns your files. No other tenant, no /etc, no surprise sudo.
Five tabs. Your whole machine.
The agent does the work; you keep full visibility. A row of tabs sits next to every conversation: see what got written, pin what to remember, read its daily journal, check the schedule, and connect directly.
Files
Live tree of everything the agent wrote. Click any file to read or edit.
Context
Notes the agent reads on every message. Stack, brand voice, conventions — no re-explaining.
Journal
A daily log of what the agent did, with links to what it shipped. Skim last week in seconds.
Scheduler
Every cron job the agent set up, in plain English. Real crontab underneath.
Settings
SSH keys, password auth, copy-ready connect strings. It's your box — log in any time.
Terminal
A real shell in the browser, scoped to your sandbox. For when you'd rather type it yourself.
You describe it. It runs it.
No yaml. No control panel maze. Your agent has its own Linux machine — you tell it what to build, watch it write the files, and SSH into anything it touches.
Tell it what you want, the way you'd tell a teammate.
One agent on your box. SSHGrid keeps context per conversation, so you don't re-explain your stack every time. It writes PHP and SQLite into your home directory, handles vhosts and certs, and serves on your subdomain.
- Plain English — or shell, if you prefer
- Context managed per thread — resume any chat
- One dispatch = one prompt, any number of tool calls
It runs the actual commands — on your real Linux.
Every action goes through your own user account. No sandbox theater, no proprietary runtime. Bash, PHP, Python, SQLite, and friends.
- Apache 2.4 + mpm_itk (your UID)
- PHP 8.3, Python 3.12, SQLite, certbot
- Output streamed live to your browser

Live, with SSL, on a real domain.
Your subdomain is included free. Bring your own whenever — point an A record, ask the agent, and the cert lands automatically and renews itself.
Hi, I'm Alice.
Software engineer building things on bare Linux. Latest project: a contact form that fits in 18 lines of PHP.
It keeps a journal and runs the schedule.
The work doesn't vanish into the scrollback. The agent logs what it did each day, and every recurring job lands in your crontab — both visible in their own tabs.
- Journal — a daily log you can skim weeks later
- Scheduler — every cron job in plain language
- Real crontab — yours over SSH, always
Shipped the pricing page, wired Stripe checkout, fixed the 500 on /contact.
Watch agents at work — right now.
A streaming sample of what builders are asking. Anonymized handles, real commands.
Real scenarios, no boilerplate.
You tell it what you want. It asks only what it needs, then runs it on your machine.
Ship a side project tonight
Static, PHP, or SQLite-backed — the agent unpacks, deploys, and certs.
Wire up a custom domain
Point an A record. Tell the agent. Cert + vhost happen automatically.
Debug a 500 in production
Tail logs, propose a fix, and roll it out without leaving the chat.
Schedule nightly backups
Cron, retention, and a dry-run all in one prompt.
A new shape of hosting.

People who'd rather build than configure.
“I cancelled three SaaS subscriptions the day I got my SSHGrid handle. My agent set up cron, certs, and a preview build faster than I could’ve alt-tabbed to a control panel.”
“The thing that sold me: when something breaks, I tail my actual log file inside the chat. No proprietary “observability layer.” Just files.”
“We host every micro-site for our clients on SSHGrid now. The whole “onboard a new client” flow is one sentence to the agent — build it, point this domain at it, done.”
