About RunCabin

A one-person shop building tools for people who want to own their slice of the internet.

What RunCabin Is

RunCabin gets a real website live on your own domain, fast. There are three ways in, depending on who you are:

  • We build it for you. For local businesses and trades - painters, plumbers, electricians, salons. Answer a few questions, see a real preview with your name and city, and go live the same day. A quote form sends every lead straight to your inbox, with no lead fees. Small-business sites →
  • You build it with AI. Describe your site to Stony, our AI designer, in plain English. You get a working site with a 24/7 AI agent, a real Postgres database, and a private GitHub repo you can buy outright - $99.99, one-time, yours to host anywhere after. The AI builder →
  • Your AI assistant builds it. Connect Claude, Cursor, or VS Code to RunCabin over MCP and "put this online" becomes something your assistant can actually do - a free HTTPS subdomain instantly, a real custom domain when you want one. Connect an assistant →

Three doors, one outcome: a site that is actually yours. Your domain and your leads, always - and real source code you can buy outright when you want it.

Why It Exists

Small businesses keep paying rent on things they should own. Lead platforms charge per lead, forever, for customers who were already searching for you. Site builders lock your pages into their walled garden and hold them hostage when you leave. Agencies charge thousands up front and disappear.

RunCabin is the opposite bet: set people up with something real, charge a fair flat rate for keeping it running, and make leaving painless. If you cancel, the domain is still yours and the leads were always yours. And for AI-built sites the source code is real too - a one-time $99.99 buyout transfers the GitHub repo to your account, yours to host anywhere, with or without us. Most platforms have nothing to sell you at any price.

Who's Behind It

RunCabin is built and operated by Ryan, a senior software developer based in Baltimore, MD. It's a product of CodePoetics, a small software studio focused on practical tools for independent businesses.

Being small is a feature, not a bug. When you email hello@runcabin.com, you're talking to the person who built the thing.

Our Commitments

  • Ownership is real. Your domain is registered to you. Your leads land in your inbox. AI-built sites keep their source code in a real GitHub repo you can buy outright ($99.99, one-time).
  • No surprise fees. The price on the page is the whole price - no setup fees, no lead fees, no premium-tier upsells.
  • No hostage data. Cancel anytime, self-service, at runcabin.com/cancel. You keep the domain and everything you've earned, and the source repo stays available for buyout whenever you want it.
  • Honest communication. If something breaks, we tell you. We don't hide behind ticket queues.
