About This Feature

Laravel Hosting in the UK

Laravel Hosting in the UK from Glitch Servers provides dedicated cloud compute with fixed CPU allocation and no resource contention - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. Laravel hosting requires more than shared hosting can provide - queue workers (Horizon), scheduled tasks (cron), WebSocket servers (Reverb or Pusher), and Redis for session/cache storage all need a server environment you control. A UK VPS provides the root access to install any PHP version, configure Nginx's FastCGI pass to PHP-FPM, set up Supervisor for queue worker management, and configure Redis without panel restrictions. Our UK VPS plans provide the NVMe SSD storage that MySQL query-heavy Laravel applications benefit from, and UK data residency for applications serving British users.

Performance on Glitch VPS plans is driven by AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors - single-core clock speeds that handle application workloads, database queries, and concurrent web traffic without the CPU credit limits that cap performance on burstable cloud instances. Storage runs on NVMe Gen4 drives with sequential read speeds of 3,500 MB/s, eliminating the I/O bottleneck that affects VPS plans running on SATA SSD or shared SAN.

Glitch Servers operates AS212868 with direct peering at LINX and LONAP - the London Internet Exchange and London Access Point - providing low-latency paths to BT, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, and other major UK ISPs without unnecessary Continental European hops. For users connecting across the UK, that translates to consistent single-digit-to-low-double-digit millisecond round-trip times under normal UK network conditions.

Every plan includes Corero Smartwall inline DDoS mitigation operating at the network edge. Traffic scrubbing runs continuously without latency penalty, absorbing volumetric floods before they reach the hypervisor layer. Full plan specifications and pricing are on the UK VPS hosting page.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Laravel needs: PHP 8.1+ with extensions (mbstring, openssl, pdo, tokenizer, xml, json, ctype, fileinfo), Composer for dependency management, a web server (Nginx recommended), MySQL or PostgreSQL, and Redis for queues and cache.
Yes. Install Horizon via Composer, configure it in horizon.php, and set up a Supervisor process to manage the horizon daemon. Supervisor ensures Horizon restarts automatically if the process exits.
Laravel 11 requires PHP 8.2+. We provide PHP 8.2 and 8.3 via the Ondřej Surý PPA on Ubuntu. Install with: add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php && apt install php8.3-fpm php8.3-{mbstring,openssl,pdo,tokenizer,xml,json}.
