TL;DR

What you get: your Render web service and Postgres database running on Hubfly space, same domain, no lost rows.

Who it's for: anyone on Render with a web service, maybe a worker, and a Render Postgres database.

Time needed: about 1 hour of work, plus a DNS TTL you lower a day ahead. Real downtime is the few minutes your database copy takes.

Cost: a small always-on app (0.5 vCPU, 512 MB) plus the smallest managed Postgres costs $4.25/month on Hubfly space vs $13/month on Render's Hobby plan (prices from the official pages, checked 26 Oct 2026).

Your app works on Render. The bill is what made you open this tab: $7 for a half-CPU web service , $6 for a 256 MB database, $10 if you add Key Value, and $25 a month on top once a second person needs the Pro workspace.…
