Cloud PHP hosting now in Russia

Hello!

We are pleased to announce that cloud-based PHP hosting Jelastic is now available in Russia from the hosting provider Rusonix . First of all, it is worth noting that the platform has such functions as: vertical and horizontal scaling, support for various servers and databases, as well as VDS servers, support for Git and SVN, various PHP extensions are available, the ability to change configuration files, the choice of PHP version and many other useful and convenient features.

Let's look at each of the above functions in more detail:
')

• Horizontal scaling allows you to set the maximum resource consumption limit for your application with a few mouse clicks;
• Vertical scaling: if your application needs more RAM or processor power, we will automatically add them. As soon as the need for them disappears, we will automatically reduce them to reduce your costs;
• Jelastic supports Apache and NGINX application servers, as well as many different databases, such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and CouchDB. You can easily get remote access to your databases;
• Jelastic VDS allow you to add a non-PHP server to your environment, for example, if you have a desire to add a mail server, task scheduler or backend component;
• You can deploy the code directly in the environment using the Git or SVN version control system;
• Jelastic supports many PHP extensions for Apache and NGINX. We also added the most used default modules. And if you need a specific module, you can easily download it yourself;
• You get full access to configuration files; you can change the settings as you like;
• It is possible to switch from one version of PHP to another;
• Using Memcached, you get the tremendous advantage of shared storage for all of your server data.

Our trial version is free - just register to try your Jelastic app. All users receive 1000 rubles to test the platform. In addition, in honor of the launch of the PHP platform, all tariffs (including the Java cloud) are reduced by 30%! More detailed information can be found on the Rusonix website .

Let's look at a brief instruction to get a little familiar with the user interface and the process of deploying PHP applications in Jelastic. For example, we will use PrestaShop, a popular online shopping platform worldwide.

So, let's begin:

1. First you need to create an environment: choose Apache as the application server, PHP 5.3 version and MySQL as the database.



Within minutes, an environment will be created and appear on the dashboard.



2. Download the zip-archive with the application on the PrestaShop website and load it into the Distribution Manager, or simply download the archive using the link.



3. Expand it into the previously created environment.



4. For PrestaShop, you need to enable the gd.so module, to do this, in the php.ini file we write: extension = gd.so



5. Open MySQL in the browser (using the "Open in browser" button), log in to phpMyAdmin (login and password came to your email immediately after creating the environment) and create a new user and the same database.



6. Go back to the dashboard and restart Apache.



7. That's it, now you can open the application in the browser and install it. The installation process is quite simple, but let's pay a little attention to the database connection. Just write down the address of the database server, the name of the database, the username and password you specified when creating the MySQL user.



Now you can easily configure an online store and install it.



We are very grateful to habravchanam for their continued support and active participation in testing and improving the platform. Still waiting for feedback from you. Who has tried Jelastic PHP? What do you think? What do you like, what not? What would like to add or improve?
