Frequently asked

How much does it cost to host The Lounge?
Hosting The Lounge on Zenith is $20 / month, billed monthly until you cancel.
How long does The Lounge take to deploy?
Most apps are live on your own subdomain in about two minutes after you deploy.
Do I need to manage a server to run The Lounge?
No. Zenith runs The Lounge for you, with no servers to provision or maintain.
Can I use my own domain with The Lounge?
Yes. Each deployment gets a Zenith subdomain, and you can map your own custom domain to it afterwards.
Can I manage The Lounge with Claude or another AI agent?
Yes. Zenith has a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://zenith.hosting/mcp. Add the endpoint from Claude, Cursor or another MCP client, connect your account, and ask the agent to deploy, configure, inspect or delete your The Lounge deployment. The agent can read and set environment variables. Write-only secrets stay hidden; generated credentials may be returned. Deployment inspection reports live status, HTTPS reachability and summarized resource usage without exposing credentials. A paid deployment requires price approval. Deletion permanently removes the deployment and its data after separate confirmation. Setup is at https://zenith.hosting/connect.
