Grav hosting

Q: How do I deploy Grav, and where does content live?

Git push - Deploy code with `git push`. Content and uploads that change in production belong in persistent storage so atomic deploys never overwrite them; rsync is the simplest way to sync them.

Q: Can I host an older version of Grav?

Yes - The Grav version is set in the codebase with a matching PHP release, so an existing site keeps running while the upgrade happens on its own schedule.

Q: Can I try Grav hosting before paying?

Yes - Start a free trial — seven days, no credit card — and deploy a real Grav site.

Q: Can I run Grav CLI commands over SSH?

Over SSH - Full SSH access is included, so the Grav and gpm CLI tools run directly against the environment. Recurring tasks like the scheduler run as cron jobs.

Flat files, no database, small monthly bill.

Grav CMS is a PHP based content management system. It's one of the early flat file systems, like Kirby and Statamic. Grav CMS is known for its flexibility, making it a popular choice among developers and content creators. There is a wide range of themes and plugins.

Grav's flat-file approach keeps the bill small: no database component needed, persistent storage for the content, rsync to sync it. Try a real site on the free trial.

# Frequently asked

Does Grav need a database on fortrabbit?

No - Grav is flat-file, so a site runs without a MySQL component, which keeps small sites cheap to host. Add a database only if a plugin specifically needs one.
