PHP Hosting

Host PHP applications with Wodby using a managed stack and a Kubernetes-based runtime. Wodby Cloud 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 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.

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.

Infrastructure flexibility

Switch to managed Kubernetes or a dedicated K3S server when you need more control over hosting placement and cost.

Managed hosting model

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 Wodby-hosted cluster billed according to the resources you actually use.

That makes Wodby Cloud a practical starting point for teams that want predictable PHP hosting 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 PHP apps.
Persistent Wodby-hosted 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.

Platform features

More than hosting for PHP

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 PHP stack with services that work together out of the box.
Environment management for production, staging, and development.
Integrated CI/CD and repo-based delivery flow.
Built-in backups, SSL, and app operations.

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.

Managed Kubernetes options

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.

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.

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.
