October CMS is a modern Content Management System to build websites and thus a better alternative to WordPress. It has a classical LAMP stack approach. It's open source, but not free. The license costs are however lower than for Craft CMS. Like Statamic, October CMS is based on the Laravel framework. October CMS has a sibling, Winter CMS is a fork.

If you're looking to get started quickly, we have some good documentation to help you. When it comes to deployment, we recommend using Git. You can trust us to provide fast, reliable, and secure hosting services.

Frequently asked

How do I deploy October CMS to fortrabbit?
Git push

Git push - October is a Laravel app, so it deploys with `git push`; Composer runs in the build. Add a MySQL component, run migrations over SSH, and keep uploaded media in persistent storage.

#
Does the October CMS license cost extra here?
It depends

It depends - October is commercial software; its license is billed by October, not by fortrabbit. Hosting is paid to fortrabbit and the license to October. The license is cheaper than Craft's, which some teams weigh when choosing.

#
Can I host an older version of October CMS?
Yes

Yes - The `composer.json` pins the version and a matching PHP release is selected per app, so a legacy October site keeps running while the upgrade is planned.

#
Can I try October CMS hosting before paying?
Yes

Yes - Every new app starts as a free trial — seven days, no credit card.

#
Can I run October CMS console commands and scheduled tasks?
Yes

Yes - Full SSH access covers the October console and Artisan commands, and cron jobs run scheduled tasks and queue workers.
