Drupal Hosting
Host Drupal with Wodby using a ready-to-run managed stack. The simplest path is Wodby Cloud, which is Wodby’s hosted cluster option for teams that do not want to run the cluster in their own cloud account or on their own server.
Wodby Cloud gives you persistent Wodby-hosted clusters billed by resource usage. Managed Kubernetes stays available when you need scaling; self-hosted Kubernetes is the budget single-server path when one server is enough.
Managed Drupal stack
Start from a Drupal stack designed for production instead of assembling services and deployment flow yourself.
No separate cluster to bring
Use Wodby Cloud when you want the Wodby workflow without running the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.
Alternative infrastructure paths
Move to managed Kubernetes when you need scaling, or single-server self-hosted Kubernetes when you need a tighter hosting budget.
In production
How Wodby runs Drupal in production
A Drupal site on Wodby runs on PHP behind Nginx with a database and shared file storage, and can be linked to cache, mail, and search services. The runtime connects Drupal to whichever of them are linked.
Trusted hosts follow your routes
The settings Wodby generates take their trusted-host patterns from the routes of the app environment and their database values from the database link you selected. Hash and file-sync salts are generated as well.
Uploaded files live on shared storage
Shared file storage is mounted into the PHP service and linked to the public files directory of the active site. Private files are kept on that persistent storage too.
Everyday tasks as service actions
Rebuilding caches, creating a one-time login link, and applying pending database updates are actions you start on the PHP service from the dashboard. Other one-off Drush or Composer commands go through the web terminal.
Redis cache needs the Drupal module
Cache settings for Valkey or Redis are written into the generated settings only when your codebase contains the Drupal Redis module.
Cron through Drush
Drupal cron is started by a Drush schedule on the PHP service, which works with the app environment's primary URL. The timing can be changed, and a run started by hand, on the Cron page.
Read the Drupal stack guide for setup steps, settings, and limits.
Moving an existing Drupal application?
Ask your coding agent to read the repository, match the application to maintained Wodby services, and list what has to change. Review the plan before anything is created or moved.
Wodby Cloud for managed Drupal hosting
If you do not want to use your own Kubernetes cluster or server, Wodby Cloud is the most direct way to host Drupal on Wodby. It lets you deploy Drupal to a persistent Wodby-hosted cluster billed according to the resources you actually use.
That makes Wodby Cloud a strong fit for agencies, in-house teams, and businesses that want the benefits of Kubernetes on the platform without needing their own cloud account, cluster, or server setup.
Why start with Wodby Cloud
- No need to set up your own cloud account, Kubernetes cluster, or server before deploying Drupal.
- Persistent Wodby-hosted clusters billed hourly as Wodby Cloud usage.
- Paid plans include $30 of Wodby Cloud per month.
- Good fit for production sites, client portfolios, and repeatable Drupal environments on the platform.

More than hosting for Drupal
Wodby Cloud gives you the platform around the stack, not just a place to run it. Teams can manage environments, delivery flow, and day-to-day operations in one system instead of combining separate hosting and deployment tools.
That means the value on these hosting pages is both managed infrastructure and a repeatable application platform for ongoing work.
What you get from the platform
- Managed Drupal stack with services that work together out of the box.
- Environment management for production, staging, and development.
- Integrated CI/CD with deployment history and automatic rollback attempts.
- Managed routing and endpoints, automatic HTTPS, backups, and imports.
- Controlled automatic updates and app service controls for ongoing maintenance.
Alternative hosting options when you want to own the infrastructure
Managed Kubernetes
If you want to host Drupal in your own cloud account, managed Kubernetes gives you a flexible and scalable setup that is easier to upgrade and better suited for high-availability architectures.
Budget self-hosted Kubernetes
If cost matters more than Kubernetes scaling, connect one dedicated server from providers such as Hetzner or OVH and use Wodby’s self-hosted Kubernetes setup. This is a practical budget path for running many Drupal sites on one server while keeping a Kubernetes-based workflow.
Read more on the self-hosted Kubernetes page.
Who this is for
Drupal agencies, multi-site teams, and businesses that want to standardize deployments without running clusters in their own account or on their own servers usually get the clearest value from starting on Wodby Cloud.
If infrastructure ownership matters more later, Wodby still lets you use the same Drupal stack with managed Kubernetes in your own account or with a single-server self-hosted Kubernetes setup.

Managed hosting
Ready to run Drupal on Wodby Cloud?
Start with Wodby's managed Drupal stack and get environments, delivery workflow, and day-to-day operations in one hosted platform.
Integrations
Keep third-party integrations organized and under control across all of your apps and environments
Connect services once and reuse them across your apps. Keep credentials out of repositories, manage configuration centrally, and override values for each environment.
Connect the services your apps already use
Full-text search with Solr Cloud
The Drupal stack comes with a Solr Cloud setup (Solr + ZooKeeper) for full-text search.
Use the Search API Solr module to connect Drupal to that setup and build searchable content experiences without provisioning the search layer separately.
Next step
Want to see what the Drupal stack includes first?
Review the services in the stack, then create an account to run Drupal on Wodby Cloud with environments, deployments, and stack operations managed from one place.
Caching with Vinyl and Redis
The Drupal stack includes Vinyl (Varnish) Cache and Redis as built-in services. Use Vinyl for straightforward page and HTTP caching in front of Drupal.
Redis can store Drupal internal cache faster than the database, which helps reduce database load and improves response times for cache-heavy workloads.

See what our customers say about their experience with Wodby.
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.
Tony MillerEighty Options
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.
