Does your application fit on the hosting? It comes down to one thing: whether it's PHP.

Managed hosting is PHP 8 with MariaDB, SFTP, editable settings and scheduled tasks. If your application is that, it fits and runs well. If it's Node, Python or needs its own services, you need a dedicated server. Here's the rule and the reason.

  • PHP 8.0–8.4
  • MariaDB with remote access
  • Scheduled tasks

Decide in a minute

If your application…

Managed hosting

  • Is PHP (Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, a CMS, your own code).
  • Uses MariaDB/MySQL.
  • Deploys by copying files (SFTP), with vendor/ resolved.
  • Its background work fits in a cron.
  • Doesn't need Redis, queues or long-running processes.

If your application…

Dedicated server

  • Is Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, .NET or Java.
  • Needs Docker or its own services (Redis, queues, workers).
  • Needs root, system packages or its own ports.
  • Has processes that must always be running.
  • Requires more than a shared plan assigns.

What a PHP application gets here

Deploying a PHP application, in four steps

  1. 1

    Create the site

    With its domain or subdomain. It comes with WordPress; delete it from the file manager and upload yours.

  2. 2

    Pick PHP and settings

    Version and limits under Developers. Check the available extensions first.

  3. 3

    Database and .env

    Create the database and user in the panel; put the credentials in your configuration.

  4. 4

    Upload via SFTP and schedule the cron

    With vendor/ resolved. Add your framework's scheduled task if it needs one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run composer install on the server?
There's no Composer or terminal on the hosting. Resolve dependencies on your machine or in CI and upload vendor/ over SFTP.
Can I point the web root to /public?
The site serves from its public folder. Place the application so its public folder is the site root, or use rewrite rules in .htaccess; OpenLiteSpeed understands them.
Are there WebSockets or long-running processes?
Not on managed hosting. For that, a dedicated server.
What if my application uses a lot?
Your account has its CPU and memory limits; if you reach them, your application slows down, not everyone else's. Upgrade with pro-rating or move to semi-dedicated or a managed VPS.
