Growing teams
GitLab scales with your team. Fixed costs instead of per-user license fees – ideal for fast growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our GitLab Managed Hosting.
What is GitLab Managed Application Hosting?
GitLab Managed Application Hosting by AlphaNodes means GitLab runs either in our cloud infrastructure in Germany or on your own hardware (InHouse). In both cases, we handle installation, updates, backups and support – GDPR-compliant, servers located in Germany.
What is the difference between Cloud Hosting and InHouse?
With cloud hosting, AlphaNodes operates GitLab on our own servers in Germany – ready to use without your own hardware. With InHouse hosting, GitLab runs on your own server (at your company or in a data center of your choice). AlphaNodes takes over full operations in both cases.
Is the number of users limited?
No. Our GitLab Managed Hosting has no limit on users or projects. GitLab Community Edition (CE) is included by default. Commercial GitLab versions (EE) can be provided upon request – please let us know before ordering.
Can GitLab Runners run on the same server?
No. GitLab and Runners should run on separate servers for security and performance reasons. The GitLab server is the manager, Runners are the worker machines for CI/CD pipelines. AlphaNodes handles configuration and maintenance of Runners.
GitLab Hosting – worry-free.
GitLab is the leading open source platform for modern software development. It combines version control, CI/CD pipelines, code reviews and deployment in an integrated solution – the professional alternative to GitHub for teams that value data privacy and control.
We handle operations so you can focus on development.
