Render

fortrabbit is a Render alternative you may want to evaluate when looking into PaaS hosting.

# About Render

Render.com was the winner of Startup Battlefield at Disrupt SF 2019, so it's a relatively new venture backed PaaS on a mission to replace Heroku. It offers a global CDN, free SSL certificates, and private networks. The interface is user-friendly including metrics graphs with network, CPU, and bandwidth. Similarly, the logs are easy to navigate.

Deploying Docker is easy, with a lot of options such as custom run command, Dockerfile paths, and context directory Persistent disks are only available in paid plans. Build timing can be slow.

# Why fortrabbit

fortrabbit is also a PaaS-like service, but more zoomed in to the specific requirements of fast and secure PHP hosting. If you simply want to deploy and host some PHP based websites, a platform like Render is likely overkill. Don't compromise on dev features Go for something more matching. Give fortrabbit a spin. A free test drive is available, no credit card required.
