You're loading a real Laravel 13.7.0 app — PHP 8.4.20 with OPcache JIT, tuned PHP-FPM, Eloquent ORM on SQLite. The metrics below are live from this request. Not shared hosting. Not serverless. Always warm.
Shared hosting gives you default PHP settings. We tune OPcache for your codebase, enable JIT compilation, and size PHP-FPM workers for your traffic. These are live numbers from the container serving this page.
; /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/opcache-prod.ini opcache.enable = 1 opcache.memory_consumption = 128 opcache.interned_strings_buffer = 16 opcache.max_accelerated_files = 10000 opcache.validate_timestamps = 0 ; no stat() calls in production opcache.jit = 1255 ; tracing JIT opcache.jit_buffer_size = 64M ; /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/zz-tuning.conf pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 16 ; sized for 2 vCPU + 256M container pm.start_servers = 4 pm.min_spare_servers = 2 pm.max_spare_servers = 8 pm.max_requests = 1000 ; recycle workers to prevent leaks
Shared hosting can throttle requests, lacks Composer and SSH access, and runs PHP versions from 2019. We run your Laravel stack, in any way you want, on dedicated resources.
# What you get on vmfarms (this container right now): PHP 8.4.20 with OPcache JIT # not PHP 7.4 Composer + Artisan via SSH # not blocked behind a control panel Tuned php-fpm (dynamic, 16 workers) # dedicated workers, no throttling SQLite / MySQL / PostgreSQL # your choice, properly configured Queue workers always running # not cron-faked every 5 minutes Laravel Scheduler via real cron # schedule:run every minute, guaranteed # Total cost: your server plan. That's it. # No add-on fees, no per-request billing.
Self-hosting Laravel means someone has to handle the infrastructure. We do that. Here’s what comes with every deployment.
We handle the migration from shared hosting, managed platforms, or wherever you’re coming from — environment variables, queue config, scheduler setup, DNS, certs — all of it. No consulting fees. No project scoping. It's part of getting started with us.
| What's included | Details |
|---|---|
| Fixed, predictable pricing | Month-to-month, based on what's provisioned. No per-request billing, no bandwidth surprises, no "Pro plan required" for basic features. |
| PHP-FPM tuning | pm.max_children sized for your RAM, OPcache configured for your codebase, JIT enabled. Not the defaults from php.ini-production. |
| Queue workers + Horizon | Always-on queue workers via Supervisor. Laravel Horizon if you use it. Not cron-faked every 5 minutes. |
| Scheduler (cron) | schedule:run every minute, guaranteed. Real cron, not a shared hosting "cron jobs" panel that runs every 15 minutes. |
| Complete CI/CD pipeline | GitHub Actions workflows, automated deployments, test-gated deploys. You push code; it ships. |
| OS + kernel patching | Live patching, maintenance windows you schedule. |
| TLS cert lifecycle | Automatic issuance and renewal, zero-downtime rotation. |
| Backup + recovery | Tested restores, not just "backups exist". |
| Daily pen testing | Automated external penetration tests every 24h, findings routed to you. |
| WAF + IDS + CVE scanning | Running continuously against your containers. |
| Speak to a human | Engineers, not a support portal. We know your stack. |
