Web apps
Combine filters →A web app is software that happens to be reached through a browser: it has accounts, state, a database and often work that continues after the response is sent. That last part is what separates the hosting — queues, scheduled jobs and a second process type. Providers marketing themselves here are usually application platforms rather than site hosts.
66 providers market themselves for web apps, listed alphabetically. Mostly platform as a service, gpu cloud and virtual private servers, of 14 categories in all. 46 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
