PHP hosting questions with a condition attached, each answered on one page: with SSH access, with backups, with staging environments, with git push deploy, with automatic updates, with a free trial, without cPanel, and affordable with MySQL.

🧾
Affordable
Per component, per day. The smallest stack, a small site and a mid-sized app, priced.
🩹
With automatic updates
The platform updates itself. The application is updated by its developer.
πŸ—„οΈ
With backups
Daily full backups of files and database, restored from the dashboard.
⏳
With free trial
Seven days per app, no credit card, the full platform.
🚚
With git push deploy
Push a branch, get a built release. Composer and npm run on fortrabbit.
🐚
With SSH access
Run CLI commands, sync files and tunnel to MySQL over SSH.
πŸͺœ
With staging
Production and staging as isolated environments of one app, each on its own branch.
🚫
Without cPanel
A dashboard, Git and SSH instead of a control panel. What is missing on purpose.
