Recommended Hosts

A user-curated list of web hosts that do (and don't) play well with Statamic.

Our recommendation#

We recommend using Digital Ocean to host most small to medium Statamic sites. Their servers are fast, inexpensive, and we use them ourselves. Full disclosure: that's an affiliate link but we wouldn't recommend them if it wasn't an excellent option.

Some developers choose to pair Digital Ocean with a tool like Laravel Forge or Ploi, which help you provision servers and handle deployments. However, if you're comfortable doing that yourself, then feel free!

Community recommendations#

The rest of this list is maintained by the community. It's a starting point, not an endorsement — your mileage may vary, and any host that meets the server requirements should run Statamic just fine.

Hosts that play nice#

These work well with Statamic out of the box.

Paired with a deployment tool#

Some developers pair a server provider with a tool like Laravel Forge or Ploi to provision servers and handle deployments.

Hosts that don't play nice#

You should probably avoid these. It doesn't mean it's impossible, but it'll likely require support tickets to enable PHP modules and meet the server requirements.

Development environments#

For local development, these work well. See requirements for the environments we recommend.
