Describe it, ship it.

Hosting for vibe coders

Describe the app, let AI write it. Host your vibe-coded app on fortrabbit.

Code is cheap. Getting it live is the wall. A designer or a business owner describes what the application should do, an AI writes it, and it runs on a laptop — and then stalls at the gap between "works here" and "has a URL". fortrabbit is built to remove that wall entirely.

Prompt to deploy.

An absence of ops

Closing that gap normally means a server, a web server, certificates, and a deploy pipeline — none of which the person building wanted to learn. Here it is a git push. Components are booked in a dashboard and scaled with a slider, the runtime is fully managed, and there is nothing to administer. The work stays on the application; the operations disappear.

Every environment answers on a test domain like en-34fdsa.frbit.app, TLS already installed, every request over HTTPS. That is enough to share a link and collect a first reaction the same afternoon. A custom domain, when the project earns one, has its certificate issued and renewed automatically — nothing to configure, nothing to renew by hand.

A dashboard for the human, a headless interface for the agent

The AI does not need to click through a console, and the person does not need to leave one. fortrabbit publishes open source agent skills — they install locally and let a coding agent connect a project, deploy, sync files, and pull the database straight from a prompt with commands like /fortrabbit deploy. An MCP server, a public API, and a CLI are in the making, launching soon, so every platform action becomes scriptable.

The docs are built for machines as much as people: every article is plain Markdown at a predictable URL, with llms.txt and llms-full.txt aggregated for retrieval. An agent looks up how deployment works and finds a readable answer instead of a search box. The dashboard stays for the human — to watch what shipped, not to babysit it.

Cheap to abandon, ready to grow

Most experiments go nowhere, and the platform is built for that outcome: a trial app without a payment method deletes itself at the end of the week, and a paid app stops billing the day it is deleted. Nothing runs on in the background.

The few that catch on scale a component at a time on the same host. And when accepting what runs is no longer enough, the same app steps up to agentic engineering — the same deploy, with review and staged releases added around it. No re-platforming, ever.

Why fortrabbit?

Because the distance between a prompt and a live URL should be a single push — and here it is. No server to meet, no certificate to chase, no bill for a month that an afternoon's experiment never used.

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

Is there a server to administer?
No

No - There is no server to log into, patch, or size. Components are booked in a dashboard and scaled with a slider; the operating system, the web server, and the certificates are managed. What is left is the application and its data.

#
How does something built with AI actually go live?
A git push

A git push - Connect the repository through the fortrabbit GitHub app and push. The deploy service runs Composer and the app answers on its test domain over HTTPS. Most AI coding tools already commit to Git, so the last step is the one they already take.

#
Can the AI deploy the app?
With agent skills, yes

With agent skills, yes - fortrabbit publishes open source [agent skills](https://docs.fortrabbit.com/platform/concepts/agent-skills) that install locally and let a coding agent run `/fortrabbit deploy`, sync files, and pull the database from a prompt. An MCP server, a public API, and a CLI are in the making to make every action scriptable — the dashboard stays for watching what happened.

#
Do certificates need setting up?
No

No - Every environment answers on a test domain with TLS already in place, always over HTTPS. A custom domain gets its certificate issued and renewed automatically. There is no configuration step and nothing to remember to renew.

#
What if the idea doesn't work out?
Nothing is left behind

Nothing is left behind - A trial app with no payment method deletes itself when the week ends — no subscription billing quietly in the background. With a payment method attached, deleting the app stops the billing that same day. The experiment leaves nothing behind except the Git repository.

#
When is this no longer enough?
When rigor is needed

When rigor is needed - Vibe coding accepts what runs. When a project needs review, tests, and staged deploys before it grows, the same app moves to [agentic engineering](/workflows/agentic-engineering) without changing hosts — the difference is process, not platform.

What customers say

I just wanted to say that the documentation that you guys have and the service you provided me while I was initially setting everything up was probably the best I've encountered in my 20-ish years of front-end web development. Your dashboard is super simple and it has all of the right things for someone like me, and none of the fluff that isn't necessary.

2023 — Customer support

As a design and development studio, managing and maintaining servers used to take a big chunk of our time, especially when things went wrong or major updates were needed. Passing that responsibility to fortrabbit, who are absolute experts and have a specialist team, was a game changer. The service is faultlessly stable, support is always fantastic & prompt and it scales with the click of a button. The whole experience is so scarily smooth! The time they have saved us could not be more valuable.

2026 — Direct feedback

I've been a fortrabbit customer for seven years, and I continue to appreciate its simplicity and reliability. Deploying Laravel applications is incredibly fast and intuitive: projects are online in just a few steps, without wasting time managing infrastructure. Support is always quick, knowledgeable, and practical. fortrabbit lets me focus on development, knowing everything else is in excellent hands.
