> Managed, PHP-first cloud hosting since 2012. Git deploys, SSH access, managed MySQL, SSL and backups on AWS — pay-as-you-go, no lock-in.


A different kind of web hosting: managed, PHP-first, and built for developers who care about their craft. Running on AWS since 2012 — bootstrapped, no VC.

## Different by design

- **Pay in arrears** — pay-as-you-go, billed monthly for what was actually used. No upfront commitment, no lock-in.
- **Managed platform** — PHP runtimes, MySQL, SSL and backups are operated by fortrabbit. Standardized, not bespoke servers.
- **Git deploys** — push to deploy, with GitHub integration and full SSH and SFTP access.

## Built for modern PHP

Apps group projects; environments run them. Deployments are Git-based and reproducible. Collaboration and team features are first-class.

## AI ready

Content is structured and machine-readable: every page is available as Markdown, alongside `llms.txt`, `Accept: text/markdown` content negotiation, and an Agent Skills manifest.

## Regions and company

fortrabbit is a German company (GmbH, Berlin) serving an international audience, with an EU region in Ireland and a US region. GDPR by default, with transparent sub-processors.
