Fortrabbit.com: PHP-Focused PaaS Launched!
by Chris Cornutt October 05, 2012 @ 10:45:17
The folks over at Fortrabbit.com have officially announced the opening of their cloud-based, PHP-focused hosting platform:
We do managed hosting for over 5 years - a business where reliability is one of the core values. And Platform as a Service is just a label for a modern approach of scalable hassle-free hosting solutions. This PaaS market is very young and still a changing category in the wide field of cloud hosting. Listening to customers and their needs will influence the way current services work.
They offer a "Bootstrap" service if you'd like to try it out. It supports PHP 5.4, APC, MySQL, Git integration, Composer support, SSH/SFTP access and DNS management. You can also add on memcache and SSL support if desired.

NetTuts.com: Elevate Your PHP to the Cloud
by Chris Cornutt February 28, 2012 @ 11:40:34
In this new tutorial on NetTuts.com Phil Sturgeon looks at how to "elevate your PHP" to a cloud-based hosting service, specifically Pagoda Box.
This article will walk you through cloud hosting for your PHP application with Pagoda Box. It'll detail how to handle PHP dependencies, get your MySQL databases up and running (and debug locally), and customise various aspects of PHP with ease.
He walks you through the entire process you'll need to fire up a (free) application on their service (including a database!):
- Sign up for a new account
- Create an application
- Set up git
- Create your public SSH key and upload it to Pagoda
- Commit to your repository and deploy your code
He also mentions a custom option Pagoda Box has included in their series - the Boxfile. This configuration file allows you to set up things like the environment you want your app to run in (PHP 5.3, MySQLi extension, etc) and set up some of the php.ini configuration settings. He also shows you how to set up the database instance and how to use their "pagoda" gem to create a temporary SSH tunnel from your development environment to their database server. He also briefly mentions the option they have of using a real domain name to point to your application.

Phil Sturgeon's Blog: 2012 The year of PHP cloud hosting
by Chris Cornutt January 03, 2012 @ 10:19:48
Phil Sturgeon has a new post to his blog about what he sees 2012 as being for the PHP community - the year of cloud hosting with all of the platform-as-a-service companies that have started up over the last year.
Cloud hosting is nothing new. Seeing as "cloud" is such a loosely used term some will consider their VPS solutions on Slicehost or Rackspace to be "cloud hosting". That is partially true, but this article covers how PHP is getting some serious attention in the PaaS (Platform as a Service) field. This year you will almost certainly find yourself making the decision wether or not to move some of your applications and services across to the cloud, and this article can hopefully help you work out why and how.
He talks a bit about how the idea compares with Ruby's Heroku hosting service and some of the benefits that come with it:
- Speedy deployments
- Security
- Scaling
He also looks forward to the future, mentioning some of the major players in the PHP PaaS space like Orchestra.io and App Fog (as well as a brief suggestion of a possible PHP beta over at Heroku).

Kevin Schroeder's Blog: What is phpcloud.com?
by Chris Cornutt November 02, 2011 @ 14:55:38
In a new post to his blog today Kevin Schroeder answers a question about a product his employer, Zend currently offers - what is phpcloud.com?
Well that's a stupid question, isn't it? It's "Development done right", "Fast, Elastic, Dependable" and on "Any Cloud", right? If you are unclear as to what phpcloud.com is, what the Zend Application Fabric is and what the DevCloud is then this is a good post for you.
The phpcloud platform offers their own Zend Application fabric to provide resources based on the needs at the time and the DevCloud, a "slice" of these resources for you to try out for your development.
So, the Fabric is the loom, DevCloud is a thread spool and phpcloud.com is the lever you pull to start.
