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 predictable pricing, hands-on server management, and the flexibility to deploy any PHP or Laravel application on your cloud provider of choice.

Forge
  • A server management and application deployment service.
  • One-click servers with team roles, organization billing, and predictable costs.
  • Zero-downtime deploys, hosted on-forge.com domains, automated SSL, monitoring, and real-time metrics are included. Manual scaling is required.

Laravel Vapor

Choose Laravel Vapor if you want a fully serverless platform that autoscales with spiky traffic (2-3x higher than your average sustained levels of user activity or data requests) and handles all infrastructure automatically.

Laravel Vapor
  • Fully serverless platform built for Laravel. Vapor handles infrastructure automatically.
  • Autoscaling, managed databases, and on-demand queues are included. However, it requires added configurations, with apps demanding stricter Laravel conventions.
  • Zero-downtime deploys, instant URLs, and monitoring included, but large uploads may be slow or costly due to Lambda limits.
