Do I need to have an account on a cloud provider to use Wodby?

You can connect your own managed Kubernetes provider or a dedicated server with K3S. Alternatively, you can use Wodby Cloud when you do not want the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.

Can I use Wodby with a dedicated server?

Yes. Wodby supports dedicated servers by installing a lightweight Kubernetes distribution like K3S.

I couldn't find my specific application stack, how do I start?

Start with the closest pre-configured stack and customize it, or build a stack from managed services. You can also contact Wodby to request a new stack.

Will I be vendor locked-in to Wodby?

No. Wodby is built on open standards like Kubernetes. You can disconnect your cluster and keep running your apps, but Wodby-managed tasks stop.

I have a small website (PHP, MySQL). How much would it cost? What if I deploy 10 of them?

Pricing is based on total app services. One site with Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL is 3 services and falls under the $48/month minimum tier. Ten such sites total 30 services and cost $60/month. Extra CI/CD minutes and registry storage are billed separately.

Deploy PHP

Deploy custom PHP applications with Wodby’s managed PHP stack. Use a repeatable deployment model, keep your services organized, and scale PHP workloads without reinventing the stack.

Start with Wodby View PHP stack

Start from a managed PHP stack

Deploy PHP applications without assembling the full stack yourself from separate services, deployment steps, and environment settings.

Keep custom PHP deployments flexible

Use a managed stack that gives you room to compose the services your application needs while keeping the workflow consistent.

Simplify day-to-day operations

Use built-in deployment tooling, backups, SSL, and infrastructure features so PHP teams spend less time on repetitive operations.

A modern deployment model for PHP applications

PHP teams need a way to standardize deployments, isolate supporting services, and scale applications with a more modern hosting model.

Wodby packages that into a managed PHP stack built on industry-standard Kubernetes and K3S foundations, so you can deploy custom PHP workloads without maintaining a bespoke setup for every project.

A practical fit for custom PHP workloads

Keep web, PHP runtime, cache, and database services organized in one stack.
Scale PHP applications and supporting services as workload demands change.
Use the same deployment model across development, staging, and production.
Reduce custom work around SSL, backups, infrastructure updates, and releases.

What you get with Wodby

Managed PHP stack for modern container-based deployments
Built-in CI/CD and image build workflow
Automated backups and imports for safer releases and migrations
Managed SSL certificates and domain setup
Flexible scaling and resource controls
Open, portable infrastructure via Wodby’s platform model

How PHP deployment works on Wodby

1
Choose the infrastructure model that fits: managed Kubernetes from your preferred provider or a lean K3S setup for lower-cost environments.
2
Create a new app from the PHP stack and connect your repository.
3
Configure services, domains, environment variables, persistent volumes, and databases.
4
Deploy changes through the built-in CI/CD workflow and scale services as requirements grow.

Suitable for custom PHP projects and multi-app environments

If you deploy multiple PHP applications, need a repeatable stack, or want to move to Kubernetes without rebuilding your hosting model from scratch, this setup fits that need.

Wodby gives PHP teams a managed stack with room for customization through services and integrations, while keeping Kubernetes available as the infrastructure standard for larger workloads.

Stack-specific feature

Keep local PHP environments consistent with Docker

Use Wodby’s Docker4PHP project to spin up a consistent local PHP environment with Docker Compose before you deploy to Wodby. It is built for local development across Linux, macOS, and Windows, so teams can standardize how custom PHP applications run on developer machines.

That makes the move from local development to managed hosting more predictable: work against a repeatable PHP stack locally, then deploy on Wodby with CI/CD, backups, certificates, and scalable infrastructure already in place.

We moved our Drupal hosting to use Wodby and changed our development workflow to use Docker at the same time. Now we can concentrate on Drupal development and we're not losing time configuring servers etc. When a site needs additional resources or hosting in a different region we can be way more responsive as deploying a new instance takes no time at all.

Wodby’s innovative infrastructure helped us to increase the speed and simplify our app deployment, while also leaving us the freedom of handling our hosting and not locking us on a specific pattern. We are now much more robust for future growth and will be able to innovate faster.
