Affordable PHP hosting with MySQL

fortrabbit is affordable managed PHP hosting with MySQL, priced per component and per day, with no bundled tiers. The smallest environment, PHP XS with storage, traffic and one daily backup, costs €2.50 a month; adding the smallest MySQL plan makes it €3.50. A small production site with a database lands between €5 and €10, and a Craft CMS or Laravel app with a 512 MiB PHP plan, 1 GiB MySQL, 2 GiB storage and three backups comes to €19. Every component scales on its own, so a growing database does not force a larger PHP plan. Storage, traffic and MySQL autoscale into the next plan when they fill up; PHP is sized by hand. Billing runs in arrears by the day: book a component for three days, pay for three days, and a deleted environment stops costing money the same day. Prices are the same number in EUR and USD. Every new app starts with seven free days, no credit card, and there is no minimum term.

MySQL and jobs are optional, the rest is part of every environment. The components concept explains how plans and sizes fit together.

# Three affordable stacks, priced

Staging environments book their own components and usually sit in the first column.
