The next generation of Forge is here! Get started with our tips.

Choose the right solution for you

Deployment and hosting solutions to suit every application or business need.

Laravel Forge

Choose Laravel Forge if you want complete control over your infrastructure. Configure servers, manage deployments, and customize your environment exactly how you need. Ideal for teams running Laravel and non-Laravel apps, with SSH access, zero-downtime deployments, and a powerful API built in.

Forge
  • A server management and application deployment service.
  • Provision instantly with Laravel VPS, choose a supported server provider, or bring your own server.
  • Forge supports vanilla PHP, WordPress, Statamic, static HTML pages, and other stacks, including Node.js, Nuxt, and Next.js.

Laravel Cloud

Choose Laravel Cloud if you want a fully managed, serverless experience optimized for Laravel, with no infrastructure setup or maintenance required. Cloud autoscales in case of spiky traffic (2-3x higher than your average sustained levels of user activity or data requests).

Laravel Cloud
  • Fully managed infrastructure platform built exclusively for Laravel applications. Bring your repo and we handle the rest.
  • Creating a Laravel Cloud prevents the need for creating a separate server account.
  • Autoscaling, hibernation, zero-downtime deployment, and security (SOC 2 Type 2 compliance) are included out of the box.
