PHP Hosting
Host PHP applications with Wodby using a managed stack and a Kubernetes-based runtime. Wodby Cloud is Wodby’s managed Kubernetes option inside the platform for teams that do not want to bring their own cluster or server.
Wodby Cloud gives you persistent managed clusters billed by resource usage. Managed Kubernetes and K3S stay available when you want more infrastructure control or a different cost profile.
Managed PHP stack
Deploy PHP apps on a ready-to-run stack instead of assembling the full runtime and service layout yourself.
Managed Kubernetes by Wodby
Use Wodby Cloud when you want Wodby to manage the cluster layer for you while your team focuses on PHP application delivery.
Infrastructure flexibility
Switch to managed Kubernetes or a dedicated K3S server when you need more control over hosting placement and cost.
Wodby Cloud for managed PHP hosting
If you do not want to use your own Kubernetes cluster or server, Wodby Cloud is the most direct way to host PHP applications on Wodby. It lets you deploy to a persistent cluster managed by Wodby and billed according to the resources you actually use.
That makes Wodby Cloud a practical starting point for teams that want predictable PHP hosting without taking on cluster provisioning, upgrades, and day-to-day infrastructure management themselves.
Why start with Wodby Cloud
- No need to provision or maintain your own Kubernetes cluster before deploying PHP apps.
- Persistent managed clusters billed hourly in Wodby Cloud compute credits.
- Paid plans include 1000 compute credits per month for Wodby Cloud usage.
- Works well for client projects, internal apps, and custom PHP workloads on the platform.

Alternative hosting options when you want more control
Managed Kubernetes
Managed Kubernetes makes sense when PHP workloads need more scalability, easier upgrades, and stronger high-availability patterns within your own cloud account.
Dedicated servers with K3S
K3S on a dedicated server is the lower-cost option for smaller PHP applications and multi-app setups. It lets you host many PHP apps on one server while preserving a Kubernetes-based workflow.

- UpCloud
- Scaleway
- DigitalOcean Droplets
- Azure Virtual Machines
- Google Cloud Compute Engine
- AWS AWS EC2
- Custom provider (any other hosting provider)
Who this is for
Teams with custom PHP applications usually get the clearest value from starting on Wodby Cloud because it avoids unnecessary infrastructure setup while keeping a scalable hosting model.
If infrastructure ownership matters more later, Wodby still supports managed Kubernetes in your own account and K3S as alternative hosting paths.

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 MillerDirector at Eighty 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.
