Laravel hosting — managed for you, or a server of your own

What Laravel is

Laravel is a PHP framework for building web applications. It supplies the parts almost every application needs — routing, database access, queues, scheduling, authentication and templating — as one coherent set, so a team writes the behaviour that makes their product different rather than rebuilding the plumbing that does not.

Why teams build on Laravel

Laravel suits applications that outgrow a content management system but do not warrant a bespoke stack: dashboards, portals, SaaS products, internal tools and APIs. Its queue and scheduler mean slow work happens out of the request, its migrations keep a database in step with the code, and its conventions make an unfamiliar codebase legible quickly — which matters more than raw speed on anything a team maintains for years.

What you get, on both

• On a managed plan, the application is installed and the tooling a Laravel project expects — SSH, Git deploys, Composer, cron and remote MySQL — is part of the platform rather than something you enable.
• On a cloud server, the machine is yours with root access and is built to the Laravel stack profile. Queue workers and scheduled tasks are long-running processes, and on your own server they are not competing with anybody else's site for the memory or the CPU you paid for.
• Backups are included and taken automatically on both, with the option to keep a month of the file system and two of the databases — so a bad deploy is something you roll back rather than something you rebuild.
• You choose where it runs. The managed platform is live in London, Dallas and Singapore; the cloud range runs in eight cities across North America, Europe and Asia. Both are listed further down the page.

Plans and pricing

Two rungs of one product. A managed plan is the quickest way to have the application running with the tooling in place; a cloud server is the same application on a machine you control. Monthly or yearly, and yearly is two months free.

• 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
