Laravel hosting

Fast deploys with GitHub integration and fair, component-based pricing. Hosting Laravel since 2012.

Laravel is a popular open-source PHP framework that was written and is still being led by Taylor Otwell. It's well on its way to becoming the de facto standard for web application frameworks on the internet. It's easy to get started with, yet powerful. It has a vast ecosystem with many third-party services and additional software built on top of it, such as Statamic and October CMS. Laravel is free open source software. The venture backed Laravel Inc also offers commercial hosting services.

We know Laravel well. Our initial platform version was mostly built for Laravel. It was also mostly built with Laravel. Today, we are supporting a wider range of applications. But fortrabbit partly still runs Laravel, side by side with Symfony. Installing Laravel on fortrabbit is straightforward: deploy with git push and Composer installs the dependencies during the build. Extensive docs you can follow from A-Z including deployment and tuning are at your disposal. Eye to eye developer support is included with the service. fortrabbit's Laravel hosting may cost you less than your current solution.

An honest account.

Different by design

A platform purpose-built for PHP. More than the sum of its parts.

Pay in arrears

Daily prorated, post-paid billing. No upfront payment, no yearly commitment.

Modular pricing

Pay per component and scale each one from xs to 2xl on its own.

No dark patterns

No vendor lock-in, no upselling, no misleading messages.

Humans in support

Eye-level developer chat over the support bubble. No sales calls.

Developer-first

Git-push deploy, SSH access, bring your own code. No 1-click bloat.

Managed platform

A hardened, service-oriented PHP stack. Deploy code, skip the server admin.

Frequently asked

How do I deploy a Laravel app to fortrabbit?
Git push

Git push - Push your repository and the deploy runs Composer, builds the release, and swaps it in atomically. Set env vars in the dashboard, add a MySQL component, and run `php artisan migrate` over SSH. The `git push` is the deploy — there is no separate FTP step.

#
Can I host an older version of Laravel?
Yes

Yes - Your `composer.json` pins the framework version with a matching PHP version for the app, so a legacy Laravel 9 project keeps running while the upgrade happens on its own schedule. fortrabbit supports a range of current and older PHP releases.

#
Does the Laravel scheduler work on fortrabbit?
Yes

Yes - Add a cron job that runs `php artisan schedule:run` every minute and the scheduled tasks fire as normal. Full SSH access means artisan commands, tinker, and migrations all work as expected.

#
Can I try Laravel hosting before paying?
Yes

Yes - Every new app starts as a free trial — seven days, no credit card. That is enough to push a real Laravel project, connect a database, and check the response times before deciding.

#
Does Laravel need a database on fortrabbit?
It depends

It depends - Most Laravel apps use a relational database; add a MySQL component for that. An app that needs no persistence can run on the PHP component alone.

What customers say

I'd used fortrabbit years ago and liked it, but moved to a VPS, as was all the rage. I've grown tired of thinking about server admin, saw the new platform beta, and gave it a try. Frank and the team have been amazing, and taken my feedback seriously. The component-based pricing is easy to understand and competitive. The dashboard is well thought out, and the platform continues to be built for what I do: PHP, Laravel (Statamic). I'm moving my stuff back, where it always should have been.
