Got questions? We've got answers.
Deploynix is a server management platform built for Laravel developers. It handles server provisioning, zero-downtime deployments, SSL certificates, database management, and monitoring — so you can focus on building your application.
We support DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, Linode, and AWS. You can also connect any custom server with SSH access — just provide the IP address and credentials.
Each deployment creates a new release directory on your server. Once the build is complete and health checks pass, the symlink is atomically switched to the new release. If anything fails, your previous version stays live. You can also instantly rollback to any previous deployment.
Yes! You can connect any server running Ubuntu with SSH access. Deploynix will provision and configure it with everything needed to run your Laravel applications, including Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis, and more.
Absolutely. All sensitive data, including SSH keys and environment variables, are encrypted at rest. We never store your server passwords. Communication between Deploynix and your servers uses secure SSH connections.
Sign up for a free account, connect your server provider or add a custom server, create a site, link your Git repository, and hit deploy. Your application will be live in minutes with SSL automatically configured.
