PHP hosting

PHP hosting for your own application.

Q: Can Composer run when I deploy?

Yes. Add composer install to the build commands. They run in the new release, as the website's own user, before it goes live.

Run your PHP application on a private cloud server, on PHP 8.0 to 8.5 with the settings you choose, an optional MySQL-compatible database and deploys from Git.

How it works

PHP live in three steps.

STEP 1

Create a PHP server

Choose PHP, a cloud provider, a region and a size. Every website on the server is a PHP website.

From 1 GB · $9.50/mo

STEP 2

Add a website

Keep or untick its database. It starts with a placeholder page on its own preview address with HTTPS.

index.php

STEP 3

Put your code on it

Upload with SFTP or the file manager, or connect a repository and click Deploy now.

GitHub · GitLab · Bitbucket

What you get

What Netkeel does for PHP.

PHP settings per siteChoose the PHP version, memory, upload and timeout limits for each website.

Deploy from GitDeploy a branch or a single commit. Each deploy is a new release, and the earlier ones are kept for rollback.

Build commandsRun composer install, npm ci or npm run build before a release goes live, and serve a folder such as public.

Optional databaseA MySQL-compatible database (MariaDB) when your app needs one, with its credentials in the panel.

SSH and SFTP per siteEach site has its own isolated login with your SSH keys.

File managerUpload, edit and unpack files in the browser.

Cron jobs and redirectsSchedule tasks and set redirects from the panel.

Daily backupsOne-click restore, plus encrypted off-site copies, on from the start.

On every server too: a firewall with automatic banning, free SSL, logs, monitoring and alerts, and team access with roles. See all features →

Good to know

What is not available yet.

PHP servers run NGINX only, so .htaccess files are ignored; set redirects in the panel instead. Deploys start when you click Deploy now, not on every push. Staging, cloning and moving to another server are WordPress-only for now.

Step-by-step guides are in the PHP docs.

Pricing

Pay for the server, not for each site.

Servers start at $9.50/mo for 1 GB, billed by the hour and never more than the monthly price. Put as many PHP websites on a server as it can carry.

Questions

PHP hosting, answered.

Which PHP versions can I use?

PHP 8.0 to 8.5. Choose the version for each website, along with its memory, upload and timeout limits.

Are .htaccess files read?

No. PHP websites run on NGINX alone, so .htaccess files are ignored. Set redirects under Redirects in the panel.

Can Composer run when I deploy?

Yes. Add composer install to the build commands. They run in the new release, as the website's own user, before it goes live.

Do I need a database?

Only if your app does. The database is ticked when you add the website; untick it and the website has no Databases section.
