Beautiful UI, complex reality.
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.
