From git pushto a live Laravel app.
Connect a GitHub repository or upload a .zip. HCode detects your PHP project, installs its dependencies, builds it and serves Laravel with SSL, so you write features instead of configuring servers.

Built for the wayLaravel apps run.
A Laravel app is more than a web process. It has a database, a cache and jobs waiting in a queue. HCode keeps all of them together and runs them for you.
PHP, detected and built.
Push your Laravel project and HCode detects PHP, installs the dependencies and builds it. Need a PHP extension or a custom setup? Bring your own Dockerfile.
PostgreSQL, ready for Eloquent.
Every HCode plan includes managed PostgreSQL, which Laravel supports out of the box. Set DB_CONNECTION to pgsql, add the connection details, and HCode backs the database up every day.
Queues and cache on Redis.
Add managed Redis beside your app for cache, sessions and queues, then run your queue worker as a background worker on HCode, on the same private network.
Your .env, kept encrypted.
Set APP_KEY, the database credentials and your API keys as environment variables in the panel. They are stored encrypted and never land in your repository.
Every push, a fresh release.
Push to your branch and HCode deploys the new release without downtime. A failed build never replaces the live app, and the last good deploy is one click away.
Your domain, with SSL.
Every project gets a free subdomain on its first deploy. Add your own domain when you are ready and HCode provisions the SSL certificate.
More than PHP hosting.The toolchain comes with it.
Managed PostgreSQL and Redis, SSL, daily backups and rollbacks come with every HCode plan, so you deploy a Laravel app, not a server stack.
A database, not a detour.
Managed PostgreSQL and Redis alongside your app, on its own private network. Keep your data close and your setup simple.
Secure from the start.
Your own domain with automated SSL, encrypted secrets and built-in backups. The essentials come with you.
Go forward. Roll back.
A new release goes live without downtime, and one that fails its checks never replaces the app that is running. Need the last one back? Roll back in a click.
One platform.Three ways to build.
Side projects, SaaS products and client work all deploy the same way on HCode. Here is what that looks like for you.
SaaS teams
Build the product.Keep your momentum.
Keep your app, its database and its background workers together, with the building blocks your product needs as it grows.
- Managed PostgreSQL
- Environment variables
- Rollbacks
Agencies
Client work.Without the busywork.
A modern workflow for every client. Every project gets a free subdomain the moment it deploys; add the client’s own domain when they are ready, give each teammate the right role, and bill predictably in your currency.
- Multiple projects
- Custom domains
- Free subdomains

Can I host a Laravel app on HCode?
Yes. HCode detects PHP projects and builds them for you, so a standard Laravel app deploys from its repository. If your app needs a specific PHP setup, add a Dockerfile and HCode builds that instead.
Do I have to manage a server or a database?
No. HCode is managed hosting. HostAfrica runs the servers and the PostgreSQL database; you push your code and manage the app from the HCode panel.
Is a database included?
Yes. Managed PostgreSQL comes with every HCode plan and is backed up every day, and Redis is available beside it. The plan table on this page shows how many databases each plan includes.
My Laravel app uses MySQL. Can I still move it?
The managed databases on HCode are PostgreSQL and Redis. Eloquent and the query builder support PostgreSQL, so most apps switch by changing the connection settings. Check any raw MySQL queries first, and talk to our team if you would like help planning the switch.
Can I run queue workers?
Yes. HCode runs background workers such as queue consumers beside your web app, and managed Redis can serve as the queue backend.
How do I move an existing Laravel app to HCode?
Connect the GitHub repository or upload a .zip, copy your .env values into the panel as environment variables, and deploy. Bring PostgreSQL data across from a .sql file or a pg_dump archive. Talk to our team if you would like help planning the move.
What support do I get?
HostAfrica support is available 24/7, and live chat is open during business hours. The HCode docs cover the platform step by step.
How do I get started?
Pick a plan on this page and order it in the HostAfrica panel, then connect your repository. Not sure which plan fits? Talk to our team and we will help you choose.
