Fortrabbit makes it very easy to create, manage, and handoff php based web applications and websites. Fortrabbit works especially well with my CMS of choice: Craft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fortrabbit has very little to dislike. One thing that I think that Fortrabbit and honestly most of the tech space could use more of is better support documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I needed a platform to host a CraftCMS project. AFAIK fortrabbit is the only platform that has built-in support for Craft apps.
There is an amazing plugin, craft-copy (https://github.com/fortrabbit/craft-copy) that does all of the heavy lifting required for deployment and keeping the different environments in sync. Their UI is simple, easy to navigate, and gives you all of the required data (ssh, sftp, MySQL, etc.) in plain sight.
Not to mention the very fair pricing. Such joy to deploy with a single line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing. This is how pros build a hosting platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you focus one one product, you can get it right. That's what fortrabbit does. They host PHP web applications, and that's it.
The interface is simple.
The pricing is very reasonable.
The performance is great and scaleable.
Very fast support via on-screen chat.
They provide free TLS security for your web app.
The uptime is great. We have been with them nearly two years now, and never had the application go down. They had a scheduled outage in the middle of one Sunday and we never even noticed it - and had plenty of notice.
We used to host on a shared server using CPanel through Arvixe. The main reason we switched to fortrabbit was due to the CPanel server constantly having issues. Now, uptime with fortrabbit is like a rock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They don't host DNS for your app. This is not really a big deal. They do make it really easy by giving you the proper DNS entries to make in your own DNS host.
Adding the TLS security took me a few hours to get it right. You have to add a .htaccess file in the right directory with the right instructions in it. Google it to find some examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
