I noticed this a few weeks late, honestly, but TrickNowTech rebuilt its entire website back in June and moved to a new, shorter domain: tricknow.tech. I've been using it on and off for a couple of side projects for a while now, mostly because it is the rare hosting dashboard that does not make me want to close the tab immediately, so a redesign felt worth a post.
For anyone who has not run into it: TrickNowTech is one of those all-in-one platforms that bundles the stuff you would otherwise be juggling across three or four different vendors.
What it actually does
The core of it is domains and VPS hosting, which is the boring-but-necessary layer everything else sits on. Where it gets more interesting is the deployment side: you connect a GitHub repo and it just deploys, no server config, no SSHing in to figure out why a systemd unit will not start. I have thrown a couple of small Node apps at it that way and it worked with basically zero fuss, which is not something I say about hosting platforms often.
On top of that there is:
- Database add-ons for a deployed app: MySQL, Postgres, Redis, or Mongo, whichever the project needs
- An email sending API with custom domain support, including handling the DKIM record setup, which is normally the part that eats an afternoon
- A WhatsApp Business API piece too, templates and direct messages, which I genuinely did not expect to find bundled in with hosting and domains
Pricing is tiered simply enough: Starter runs 299 rupees a month, Pro is 799, Plus is 1,499. The difference is mostly how much app you are actually running and how much support you want on tap.
Why the redesign matters
The old site undersold all of this pretty badly. It read like it was built to explain one feature, and everything else was something you discovered by accident three menus deep. The new one actually walks you through what you are getting instead of assuming you already know the platform exists.
The deploy flow specifically got a lot more visible. Connect GitHub, pick a repo, done, and now that is presented as the actual point of the product instead of a buried advanced option.
Not perfect
Docs are still thin, particularly around anything DNS-related. If a custom email domain is not verifying, you are mostly leaning on the status checker rather than a clear troubleshooting page. And the billing and invoice pages have not caught up to the rest of the redesign yet, they still look a step behind everything else.
Worth a look
If you have a small side project that needs a place to live and you are tired of stitching together a domain registrar, a VPS, and a deploy pipeline separately, tricknow.tech is worth a few minutes. It will not replace a serious production setup with real infra needs, but for the kind of project most people reading this are actually shipping, it covers more of the stack than I expected the first time I used it.
