A Laravel Cloud alternative on your own servers
Managed deploys without moving into someone else's cloud.
What you get moving from Laravel Cloud
Laravel Cloud is a managed platform for Laravel on AWS, billed on usage. Serversinc deploys any container to servers you own, billed per server.
Machines you own
Import a box you run, or provision one on DigitalOcean or Hetzner with your key.
Laravel and everything else
Run Laravel next to Node, Go, Python or any image, deployed the same way.
Per server, not per second
£5 a month for three servers. The bill doesn't move with traffic.
Rollback on a failed check
Traffic stays on the old container until the new one passes its health check.
Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB
Provisioned on your server, with users, schemas and grants.
In your bucket
Scheduled database and volume backups to S3, R2, B2 or Spaces.
The bill, side by side
Laravel Cloud plans are $5 (Starter), $20 (Growth) and $200 (Business) a month plus usage. Compute is billed per second, capped at $6 a month for Flex 512 MiB, and bandwidth past the allowance is $0.10 per GB.

-
01
Add a Dockerfile
Containerise the app with a PHP-FPM or FrankenPHP base image and push it to GitHub.
-
02
Provision a server
Pick a size on DigitalOcean or Hetzner, or import a server you own.
-
03
Create web and worker apps
One application for web, one for the queue worker, from the same repo. Copy env vars in bulk.
-
04
Move data, then DNS
Provision the database, import a dump, deploy, confirm the health check passes, then switch the domain.
Switching from Laravel Cloud
Bring your first server
£5 a month covers your first three servers. Every server after that adds £2.
