PHP: Deploy an existing application

This documentation is part of the Getting started guide. View the full guide here: How to get started with PHP on Stackhero.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides a PHP cloud platform 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. There are no manual steps needed.
  • Rely on automatic backups, one-click updates, and clear, predictable pricing. Stackhero handles these details, so you can focus on your code.
  • Benefit from strong performance and security on a private, dedicated infrastructure built specifically for your applications.

Make your workflow smoother and save time. Getting started with Stackhero's PHP cloud hosting takes just a few minutes.

If you already have a PHP application you would like to deploy, you just need to add the remote repository to your project (see Configure the remote repository server). Then, you can push your changes using:

git push stackhero main

By default, Stackhero looks for your PHP code and static files in the www directory. For instance, when someone visits yourdomain.com/myphoto.jpg, the file will be served from www/myphoto.jpg. If your application uses a different public directory, you can update this setting in your PHP service configuration.
