Deploy Your Custom Sharetribe Marketplace in Minutes
I host customised Sharetribe Web Template marketplaces. Connect your GitHub repository, add your Sharetribe settings, choose where your marketplace runs and publish without setting up a generic hosting platform yourself.
Your Custom Sharetribe Marketplace Needs Somewhere to Run
Sharetribe hosts the marketplace backend, but once you customise the Sharetribe Web Template, the frontend needs to be deployed to a public server. Sharetribe provides instructions for services such as Render. My Sharetribe hosting is an alternative built for Sharetribe marketplaces.
Choose a hosting location closer to your marketplace users, with locations across Australia, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa and the Middle East.
From GitHub to a Live Marketplace in Four Steps
The hosting flow is designed around what a Sharetribe marketplace actually needs, rather than exposing you to generic cloud infrastructure settings.
Connect GitHub
Authorise my hosting integration so it can access the repository containing your custom Sharetribe frontend.
Choose Your Code
Select the repository and branch containing the marketplace you want to publish.
Add Your Settings
Enter the configuration your Sharetribe marketplace needs, including its environment settings and credentials.
Choose Size and Location
Select the hosting size and global region that best suit your marketplace.
Once the site is created, publishing begins automatically. Future updates pushed to the connected branch can also publish automatically.

Simple Annual Plans
Choose the resources your marketplace needs. Most Sharetribe marketplaces can start with 512 MB or 1 GB depending on the level of customisation.
All plans include both a Live and Test site.
Suitable for most Sharetribe marketplaces with few customisations.
Suitable for Sharetribe marketplaces with more customisations.
Additional capacity for marketplaces with higher memory requirements.
Additional resources for larger marketplace workloads.
Higher-capacity hosting for more demanding deployments.
My largest current hosting size.
- Need strict data residency? Standard hosting uses a CDN, which may serve traffic outside your selected region. Hosting without the CDN is available for an additional 25%.
- More memory does not automatically make a marketplace faster. If you’re unsure which size you need, start with the plan that best matches your level of customisation.
- Prices are in Australian dollars. Hosting size can be changed as requirements grow.
- Fair use applies. Plans are intended for the normal operation of a Sharetribe Web Template frontend. If sustained or unusual usage affects the service or requires dedicated resources, I will contact you to discuss the most suitable hosting or performance option.

Why Not Just Use Render?
You can. Render is a capable general-purpose hosting platform, and Sharetribe publishes deployment instructions for it.
My Sharetribe hosting is built for customised Sharetribe marketplaces. It combines a guided Sharetribe deployment flow, automated GitHub publishing and access to 32 hosting regions. That means less work translating generic web hosting into Sharetribe requirements.
Built for the New Generation of Sharetribe Marketplaces
Custom frontends, AI-assisted development and bespoke marketplace features all create the same next question: where do you put the finished marketplace so customers can use it?
My Sharetribe hosting provides the deployment step for that workflow.
Build your marketplace. Push your code. Put it online.
I also build Sharetribe customisations, so the same person who writes your code can put it online. See my Sharetribe services.
Your Marketplace. Your Repository. Your Deployment.
- Your custom marketplace code remains in your GitHub repository.
- Choose the branch that publishes your marketplace.
- Updates pushed to the connected branch can publish automatically.
- See recent publishing activity and deployment status.
- Change hosting size when your marketplace needs more resources.
Use Your Own Domain
Your hosted marketplace receives a working hosting address when it is published. You can also connect your own custom domain so customers use your marketplace under your own brand.
Custom-domain setup uses DNS validation and requires the appropriate DNS records to be added to your domain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I manage my hosting?
You set up and manage your hosting in Sharemates, the marketplace operations platform from Scaleup Consulting. Hosting is separate, so you don't need any other Sharemates feature to use it.
Doesn’t Sharetribe already host my marketplace?
Sharetribe hosts the marketplace backend and APIs. A customised Sharetribe Web Template frontend still needs to be deployed to a public web server.
What do I need before I can host my marketplace?
You need a Sharetribe marketplace, your customised Web Template code in GitHub, permission to connect the GitHub repository and the environment settings required by your marketplace.
Which region should I choose?
Generally, choose a region close to the majority of your marketplace users. Sydney is the default region, but 32 locations are available. If you need strict data residency within a specific region, hosting without the standard CDN is available for an additional 25%.
Can I change the hosting size later?
Yes. Most marketplaces can start with 512 MB or 1 GB depending on the level of customisation, and the hosting size can be changed later if your requirements grow. More memory does not automatically make a marketplace faster.
Is hosting billed monthly or yearly?
Hosting is billed annually. Plans start from A$140 per year.
Does a fair-use policy apply?
Yes. Plans cover the normal operation of a Sharetribe Web Template frontend. If sustained or unusual usage affects the service or requires dedicated resources, I will contact you to discuss the most suitable hosting or performance option.
Will new GitHub changes deploy automatically?
Yes. The connected branch can automatically publish when new code is pushed.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Custom-domain support is available, with DNS records used to validate the domain and route traffic to the hosted marketplace.
