What is Developer Hosting?

Developer hosting is a power-user tier that unlocks tools SA developers and agencies need daily: SSH access, Git version control, Composer, WP-CLI, Node.js, Python, multiple PHP versions, cron jobs and staging environments. All on LiteSpeed servers with CloudLinux isolation and DirectAdmin. It is the ideal middle ground between shared hosting and a VPS — the power you need at a fraction of the price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Developer Hosting FAQ
Everything You Need to Know

Does developer hosting include SSH access?
Yes. All developer hosting plans include full SSH access for Composer, WP-CLI, Git deployments, cron jobs and any command-line task your workflow requires.
Which PHP versions are supported?
We support PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3. You can select a different PHP version per domain directly from DirectAdmin — making it easy to manage legacy and modern applications on the same account.
Can I deploy via Git?
Yes. Set up Git repositories on your hosting account and deploy via git push. Combined with SSH, this enables continuous deployment workflows without FTP.
Is Node.js available?
Yes — Node.js is available on developer hosting plans. You can run Node scripts, build tools such as Webpack and Vite, and lightweight Node applications.
Can I host WordPress Multisite?
Yes. Developer hosting supports WordPress Multisite in both subdomain and subdirectory configurations. WP-CLI is available for bulk management across all subsites.
What is the difference between developer hosting and a VPS?
Developer hosting gives you SSH, Git, Composer and WP-CLI in a fully managed environment at a much lower price. A VPS provides a fully dedicated virtual machine with root access and isolated CPU and RAM. Choose developer hosting for managed power tools; choose a VPS for full root control.
