👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero offers a PHP cloud solution designed for fast, reliable deployments:

• Deploy your PHP application to production in seconds with a simple git push.
• Use your own domain, with automatic HTTPS certificates configured for you—no manual steps required.
• Take advantage of automatic backups, one-click updates, and straightforward, predictable pricing. Stackhero manages these aspects so you can focus on your code.
• Enjoy strong performance and enhanced security on a private, dedicated VM built specifically for your applications.

Save time and streamline your workflow—getting started with Stackhero's PHP cloud hosting takes just a few minutes.

To ensure your application remains reliable and secure, it is recommended to protect your production and staging branches against direct pushes. For example, you can require that changes go through pull requests, with the staging branch being reviewed and merged only by those authorized to deploy. Once your changes are validated in staging, authorized users can merge them into the production branch.

This approach ensures that only validated code reaches production, while allowing you to test new features in staging before they go live, giving you and your team extra peace of mind.
