About Instant Apps Hosting
Open Source Apps, Hosted for You
Instant Apps Hosting is a managed hosting service for open source applications, built for non-technical business owners and freelancers who want powerful software without the complexity.
We host, manage, and maintain open source apps on UK and European servers — so you get the tools you need to run your business without touching a single line of code or worrying about server updates and security patches.
Why We Exist
For too long, businesses have been funnelled into expensive software subscriptions from big American tech companies. Tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, and Trello have become the default — not because they’re the best option, but because they’re the most visible.
The problem? You’re paying a recurring fee for software you’ll never own. Your data — and your customers’ data — lives on servers you don’t control, in countries whose laws may not align with your interests. And if those companies change their pricing, their terms, or shut down a product, you’re left scrambling.
There’s a better way. Open source software gives you access to high-quality, professionally developed tools that are free to use, free to modify, and free from vendor lock-in. The only barrier has always been the technical know-how needed to set it all up.
That’s the problem we solve. We take the hassle out of open source by hosting and managing everything for you.
Who’s Behind It
Instant Apps Hosting is a service from Be Braver Ltd, a privately owned UK technology consultancy founded by Axel Segebrecht. With over 25 years of experience helping businesses across the UK and Europe with web hosting, server management, and technology strategy, we’ve seen first-hand how businesses of all sizes struggle with overpriced software and the complexity of managing their own infrastructure.
We built Instant Apps Hosting to make open source accessible to everyone — not just developers and tech enthusiasts, but the small business owners, freelancers, and growing teams who stand to benefit from it the most.
What Makes Us Different
We’re not Big Tech
We’re a small, privately owned UK business. We don’t answer to shareholders or venture capitalists. We answer to our customers. That means our priorities are straightforward: give you a reliable service, keep your data safe, and treat you like a human being.
Your data stays in the UK and Europe
Everything we host runs on servers in the UK and Europe. Your data doesn’t end up on American servers, subject to American laws and American corporate policies. In a world where Microsoft has been caught handing over customers’ encryption keys to the FBI without their knowledge, knowing where your data lives — and who controls it — has never mattered more.
Your data remains yours — always
We don’t mine your data, sell it, or use it to train AI models. You own it, you control it, and because you’re running open source software, you can export it and take it with you at any time. No lock-in, no nasty surprises.
We do the hard bit
Server setup, software installation, security updates, backups, performance monitoring — we handle all of it. You just pick the apps you want and get on with running your business. If something goes wrong, we fix it. It’s that simple.
It’s built on 25 years of experience
This isn’t our first rodeo. We’ve spent over two decades helping businesses with their hosting and technology. We understand what non-technical users need because we’ve been supporting them for years. Instant Apps Hosting is the result of all that experience, distilled into a service that’s genuinely easy to use.

Instant Apps Hosting is designed for:
- Small business owners who want to cut their SaaS costs without sacrificing quality
