Choose your Stack

There are two hosting stacks here on fortrabbit. You can choose with each new App your create:

  1. The Universal Stack has VPS or shared hosting feeling. It's easy to use, affordable, but limited in scaling. Use it for testing + small projects.
  2. The Professional Stack is designed to scale horizontally. All components are redundant to assure high uptime. Use it for serious business + potentially large sites.

Workflow

  1. Install Craft CMS locally: Install new with Composer or use an existing project
  2. Setup Craft for fortrabbit: Prepare environment, set defaults
  3. Deploy Craft: Use our Craft Copy tool
  4. Tune Craft: Master it!
