Spacefast by Automattic: AI App Hosting for Everyone

Spacefast is a new hosting service from Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, that lets the AI assistant you already use publish your app or website with a domain and SQL database included; it opened to everyone on 9 November 2026.

Spacefast: what it does

You connect Spacefast to an AI such as ChatGPT, Claude, Muse, Grok Bot, OpenClaw or Hermes, then ask it to put your project on Spacefast. Automattic says a link appears in the chat a few seconds later.
It includes hosting, your own domain and a SQL database. Built-in app authentication is listed as coming soon.
Every publish creates a new version with its own permanent URL, and you can roll back at any time.
It offers an API, a command-line tool (npx spacefast publish) and an MCP server.

Privacy, approvals and cost

Projects are private by default. You can share with a password, an invite, a share link or the whole web.
Sensitive agent actions, such as rollbacks and DNS changes, need approval checks.
Automattic says Spacefast charges for infrastructure, not AI credits, and offers a free personal plan. Paid plan prices are not stated on its announcement.

What this means for you

If you build small tools or landing pages with an AI assistant, Spacefast aims to replace the separate steps of choosing a host, setting up a database and pointing a domain. Treat the free plan and the 15 billion monthly page views that Automattic cites for the infrastructure behind it as company claims, and check limits and Indian pricing before moving client work.

What to check before using it

The plan limits and paid prices, which Automattic’s post does not list.
Whether authentication has shipped yet, since TechCrunch’s report describes it among the features while Automattic says it is coming soon.
Data location and support for India, which are not stated.
