Enhance Panel hosting for CakePHP 4 and 5 - PHP 8.1+, Composer, MySQL, mod_rewrite, NVMe SSD from £2.99/mo.
About CakePHP
CakePHP hosting in the UK from Glitch Servers provides the PHP 8.1 environment, Composer, MySQL, and mod_rewrite support that CakePHP 4 and 5 applications need to deploy on Enhance Panel infrastructure. CakePHP is one of the original PHP MVC frameworks, now in its fifth major version, and remains widely used for building data-driven web applications, APIs, and admin tools that need a structured MVC architecture with CakePHP's convention-over-configuration approach. CakePHP 5 requires PHP 8.1 and uses Composer for both installation and plugin management. Its ORM generates efficient MySQL queries and benefits from NVMe SSD-backed databases for fast controller action response times. Glitch Servers provides PHP 8.1 through 8.3, Composer via SSH, MySQL/MariaDB, mod_rewrite for CakePHP's clean URL routing, and all required PHP extensions on every Enhance Panel plan.
Server Requirements
Every Enhance Panel plan at Glitch Servers meets or exceeds these requirements out of the box.
CakePHP 5 requires PHP 8.1+. MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+. Composer 2.x. PHP extensions: intl, mbstring, pdo_mysql, simplexml, json, openssl. Apache mod_rewrite for clean URL routing. Cron jobs optional for CakePHP's task scheduler.
