About CakePHP
CakePHP is an open-source PHP framework built on convention over configuration. Name your table and your class the same way and the object-relational mapper wires itself up; the rest — routing, validation, authentication, caching, a scaffolding command line — comes in the box rather than as a shopping list of packages.
- Version we install
- 5.2.9
A database is created for it automatically.
Why people choose CakePHP
Teams choose CakePHP when they want to be productive on day one rather than after a week of decisions. The conventions do the wiring, the security helpers (CSRF tokens, form tampering protection, SQL injection prevention) are on by default rather than opt-in, and upgrades between major versions are unusually well documented for an open-source framework.
What our hosting does for CakePHP
- You can set the document root, so the site serves from CakePHP's webroot directory and nothing above it is reachable from the web — the first thing the framework's own installation guide asks for.
- Scheduled tasks are included and the schedule is yours to set, which is what the framework's console commands need for queued mail, clean-ups and anything you run on a timer.
- SSH, Git version control and a switchable PHP version are all on the plan, so you deploy from your repository and run console commands against the live install instead of uploading files and hoping.
Plans and pricing
CakePHP runs on our Linux hosting. One plan, everything included.
- Try it firstEvery managed plan starts with a free trial of 14 days, so you can put a real site on it before you pay for anything.
- 30-day money-back guaranteeIf a managed plan is not right for you, tell us within 30 days of your first payment and we refund it. Application hosting is covered. Read the refund policy
- Real support, includedSupport is included on every plan, from people who run this platform rather than a script. Accounts that cannot wait can go to the front of the queue. How priority support works

Questions people ask before they buy
How do I install CakePHP?
From the applications section of your dashboard. Choose CakePHP, pick the domain, and the install runs — including the database, if it needs one.
Which version do you install?
The current release from the platform's application catalogue. You can update it yourself afterwards like any other install.
Can I run other applications alongside it?
Yes. There is no cap on websites or databases on our Linux plan, so you can run CakePHP beside anything else on this list.
Do I get SSH and database access?
Yes — SSH, SFTP, phpMyAdmin and remote MySQL are all included, so you are never locked out of your own install.
Where will it be hosted?
London, Dallas or Singapore — your choice, all live today.
Can you migrate an existing CakePHP site?
Yes. Send us the details of your current host and our team runs the migration for you.
