Cloud PHP hosting in one click!

We are pleased to announce that the Jelastic platform is becoming a "polyglot" - in the fourth quarter of 2012, the launch of PHP cloud is planned. A unique feature of the Jelastic PHP service is vertical scaling: you no longer need to overpay for large servers or suffer from a lack of resources. Thanks to this feature, with an increase in load, the application automatically receives the necessary resources, with a decrease, respectively - on the contrary. This is a truly new approach to cloud hosting: the platform is very simple and easy to use, so even beginners can easily deploy their applications, while the supported functionality is very wide, so even the most advanced PHP developers will like the platform.

You get huge benefits throughout the entire life cycle of the application (deployment / testing / production): after the application is loaded into Jelastic, you can test, scale and deploy it on the production without any changes to the code, you can clone environments, including databases data to troubleshoot or modify, update the application with zero downtime and determine a different level of access to the environment for each member of your team.




It is also worth highlighting such advantages as:

• Horizontal scaling: with a few clicks of the mouse, you can set the maximum limit of resource consumption for your application;
• Once again, ease of use: no additional installations or configurations are required, since a wide range of software stacks is supported;
• Versatility: you can easily deploy any PHP project (supported formats are .tar, .tar.gz, .zip and .bzip2);
• NGINX and Apache application server with all key extensions, if necessary, you can add any module;
• Support for various SQL and NoSQL databases (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and CouchDB) with remote access;
• Full access to all configuration files;
• Ability to select the version of PHP;
• Ability to deploy / update directly from git / svn repositories;
• Plus a built-in memcached node for rational use of memory.

I remind you that the free beta Jelastic PHP will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2012, and its commercial launch is scheduled for the first quarter of 2013. Thanks to the feedback of the residents, we made the functionality of the Java platform exactly the way users wanted to see it. And the goal of launching the preliminary beta, first of all, is the need to collect feedback on real problems that I would like to solve, to receive requests for important functionality for developers. So we invite everyone to take part in beta testing. To do this, just leave your email address on php.jelastic.com , and you will receive a notification about the launch of the platform.
Do you have any suggestions or ideas now? We would be grateful if you share with us in the comments.
