# Square Cloud

> Square Cloud is a self-service cloud hosting platform for deploying bots, APIs, websites, and databases. Applications run in isolated containers with NVMe storage, automatic TLS, DDoS protection, and a Cloudflare-backed global network. You deploy and control everything yourself. Plans start at R$12.49/month (Hobby), and all plans are paid.

Square Cloud (Square Cloud LTDA) was founded in 2021 in Goiânia, Brazil. The platform serves over 250,000 developers, handles over 4 billion requests per month, transfers over 10 PB of data per month, and deploys applications in under 5 seconds on average. The website is available in English, Portuguese (pt-br), Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, and Italian; English content lives under /en (swap the /en prefix for another locale code to read a translated page).

## Plans & Pricing

Enterprise support operates at the infrastructure layer only; customer application code is never modified or accessed.

**Capacity rule:** each plan's RAM is a shared pool across all your apps: minimum 256 MB per background app (e.g. bots) and 512 MB per web-facing app; a single app can use up to 32 GB.

**All plans include** (no add-on charges, fair-use policy applies): enterprise Samsung NVMe SSD storage; unlimited traffic with no bandwidth metering and no per-request charges; zero-config global CDN (Cloudflare-backed) with Brotli/Gzip compression; anti-DDoS protection (L3/L4/L7) and WAF; automatic TLS for every domain including wildcards; automatic restart/recovery; GitHub integration with official GitHub Action and webhook deploys; real-time logs and metrics; error monitoring; cookieless web analytics (LGPD/GDPR-compliant); REST API access; up to 10 Gbps network; Square Cloud Intelligence (Cubic), an in-dashboard AI assistant you can ask to write code, read logs, and run safe, self-initiated actions on your apps (every paid plan includes it; the daily token budget scales by tier).

**Expiry safety net:** if a plan expires, its apps are removed, but a snapshot is attempted beforehand, and you have up to 30 days to renew and restore from that snapshot.
