Deploy a PHP app for free on PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 — Laravel, Symfony or plain PHP, straight from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. Your first app is free with 512 MB RAM and 0.5 vCPU, free SSL and a free .abasthan.app subdomain. No FTP, no credit card.
Last updated November 2026
Sign in and link GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. Private repositories are supported.
Pick your PHP version, run composer install as the build command and set the public directory (public for Laravel).
PHP-FPM and Nginx serve your app at your-app.abasthan.app with SSL — every git push redeploys automatically.
The Free plan is a real production environment — the same platform paid apps run on, with a smaller resource allocation.
Paid plans are always-on and billed only for the seconds your app actually runs, from prepaid USD credits — never more than the plan's monthly price. New accounts get a $3 welcome credit to try paid plans.
Yes. Every account can run its first app on the Free plan at $0 — no credit card required. A free PHP app gets 512 MB RAM and 0.5 vCPU, a free .abasthan.app subdomain and automatic SSL. Additional apps run on paid plans billed per second.
PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, selected per app. Apps run on PHP-FPM behind an Nginx reverse proxy — the standard production setup for PHP.
Connect the repository, use composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader as the build command, set the public directory to public, and add your APP_KEY in Environment Variables. Abasthan handles Laravel's storage permissions for you.
No. Abasthan deploys from Git — push to your branch and the app rebuilds and redeploys automatically, with build logs streamed live.
Free apps stay on while they're in use — an app that keeps getting visitors stays live. After 90 minutes with no traffic it rests to save resources and starts back up automatically on the next visit (that first visitor sees a brief loading page). Paid plans are always-on, billed per second of runtime.
Yes — deploy a managed MariaDB database on Abasthan and connect to it through environment variables (for WordPress, in wp-config.php). Your first app on the account is free; the database is an additional app on a paid plan.
Yes. Custom domains with automatic SSL certificates are available on every plan, including Free — or use the included .abasthan.app subdomain.
