1. I Quit My Full-Time Job After My SaaS Company Grew 8X [Update] (2024) ➜

Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hi everybody, my name is Philip and I’m the founder of Tiiny.Host - the simplest way to host & share your web project online. It’s perfect for prototyping, demos, testing, learning to code, and small web apps.

The majority of our users are designers, freelancers, agencies, and students. We make it super easy to host your website on the internet with no prior hosting experience needed and it’s the reason why we’re so popular.

I started it around 2 years ago and to date, over 40,000 websites have been uploaded. We’re currently at $2,000 MRR (monthly recurring revenue) and doubling every 3 months. It’s been a rollercoaster couple of years, we were making less than $100 MRR for about the first 12 months but revenue then skyrocketed. It just goes to show the trajectory of SaaS businesses on the internet.
