Bolt CMS hosting

Kindly consider fortrabbit if you're looking for fast and reliable Bolt CMS hosting.

Try for free

Bolt CMS is a modern Content Management System to build websites and thus a better alternative to WordPress. It's similar to Craft CMS, but is built on top of the Symfony framework (including API Platform for REST and GraphQL) and Twig templating. It's a classical database driven CMS. It's open source AND free. Sadly it does not seem to be maintained any more.

Bolt CMS runs well here and fortrabbit is good at PHP hosting. We pride ourselves for being knowledgeable of many PHP software projects, yet Bolt CMS is something we haven't found the time to create an install guide for. You can help.

Trust

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

Can I host Bolt CMS even without an official guide?
Yes

Yes - We have not written a Bolt-specific guide, but it is a standard Symfony, Twig, and database app, and our Symfony deployment docs map over directly. If you get stuck, our support can help.

#
How do I deploy Bolt CMS?
Git push

Git push - Manage it with Composer and deploy with `git push`; the build runs Composer. Add a MySQL component for its database and keep uploaded files in persistent storage.

#
Bolt CMS looks unmaintained — can I still run an older version?
Yes

Yes - Your `composer.json` pins the version and a matching PHP release is selected per app, so an existing Bolt site stays online. Pick a PHP version the codebase supports.

#
Can I try Bolt CMS hosting before paying?
Yes

Yes - Start a free trial — seven days, no credit card — and deploy the Bolt site to see how it runs.

#
Can I run Bolt CMS console commands over SSH?
Over SSH

Over SSH - Full SSH access is included, so the Symfony console and other app commands run directly against the environment. Cron jobs cover scheduled tasks.
