- [Architecture](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/platform/architecture.md): The fortrabbit platform is service-oriented with individually scalable components. Apache/PHP-FPM does not share resources with backend other services like databases, workers or load balancing. Thus enabling better resource allocation and allowing individual configuration and scaling of resources. This design helps avoid over-provisioning, optimize resource usage, and reduce energy consumption.

- [Staging environments](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/features/staging-environments.md): Move fast, break nothing. Experiment without confidence and without downtime. Multi staging is quite the opposite of open heart surgery — it's an advanced strategy to run the same application in separate but similar environments.

- [SSH key authentication](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/features/ssh-key-authentication.md): Public key authentication is more secure and more convenient than simple passwords. Upload your public keys to the dashboard to connect by SSH and SFTP.
- [SSH and SFTP](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/features/ssh-sftp.md)
- [Jobs](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/features/jobs.md): Jobs, available as an optional component, allow you to run scheduled and continuous commands. These dedicated back-end PHP processes are isolated from the web front-end, ensuring fast website delivery while handling heavy processing tasks in the background. Worker and cron jobs are well supported by modern PHP frameworks like Laravel and Symfony, as well as CMS systems like Craft CMS and Statamic.

- [Reduce your website's footprint](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/environment/your-turn.md): Website obesity is real. Most client support cases are related to performance issues and in 97% of the cases it's code/config problem. That means the developer is not making good use of the resources.
- [Build the web you want to see](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/build-the-web-you-want-to-see.md): A hosting company telling you to own your content is selling convenience too. Here's where that tension is actually useful.

- [About shared hosting](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/hosting-guide/providers/shared-hosting/overview.md): Shared hosting is a commodity product for end consumers. Shared hosting providers usually run the data centers and the bare metal servers themselves. Shared hosting often includes domain and email services. Lot's of stuff for little money. Shared hosting is for consumers and hobbyists. Developer tools and workflows are missing. With shared hosting you'll get long running contracts that lock you in, outdated software versions and bloated control panels.

It allows developers to build, test, and deploy applications without the need for infrastructure management. This reduces the time and cost associated with setting up and maintaining bare metal hosting infrastructure and maintaining the servers (sysops, devops).

- [Pricing details](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/details.md): This page is served by the Vue component.
- [Free trial](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/features/free-trial.md): Explore without obligations, experiment or hand over work. Each new app starts as free trial. Use all features for a limited time of 1 week. Choose the end yourself, opt-in or opt-out.
- [Components](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/features/components.md): Over-simplification helps hosting providers making sales, but it's not to the benefit of long term customer relationships. We host a variety of websites. Some projects need ample storage space, while others require more processing power. Certain projects necessitate a large database, while others don't need a database at all.
- [Grouped tiers](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/features/tiers.md): Usage based components are sized in practical ranges so that costs stay predictable and mostly flat. Best illustrated with an example: With web traffic the smallest plan includes 32 GiB. This tier is sufficient for 96% of all websites, resulting in highly predictable costs and usually no cost jumps month by month.
- [Daily aggregation](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/features/daily-aggregation.md)
- [Post-paid](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/features/postpaid.md): Most hosting providers charge upfront — often with yearly lock-in. At fortrabbit it's the opposite: use the service first, get invoiced at the end of the month. No prepayment, no long-term contracts. After deletion, final charges appear on the next invoice.
- [Monthly invoices](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/features/monthly-invoices.md): At fortrabbit, a monthly billing cycle makes it easy to track hosting costs. Here's how it works:
- [Autoscaling](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/features/autoscaling.md): Autoscaling applies to the components traffic, storage, MySQL. If turned on, your selection will be treated as the lowest plan. Once usage exceeds this booked plan, the next higher plan will automatically booked. Once the usage goes down again, the matching previously selected plan will be booked again. It's recommended to book XS plans for traffic, storage and MySQL when autoscaling is enabled.
- [Cost capping](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/features/capping.md): By default, the fortrabbit hosting platform will automatically select the next larger plan for a usage-based component, such as MySQL storage, when it exceeds the current tier. Alternatively, you can set a fixed price cap for the plan to avoid unexpected fluctuations that you have limited control over.
- [Pricing features](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing/features.md)
- [Pricing](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/pricing.md): This page is served by the Vue component.
- [Recommend fortrabbit](https://www.fortrabbit.com/raw/recommend-us.md): Recommendations by real humans like you are crucial to keep our business alive and thriving.
