Web application hosting that connects your repository to production
Web application hosting gives your code a managed place to run, deploy, and support ongoing work. NowHosted Agency and Scale host Laravel, PHP, Node, and Next.js apps, including projects exported from AI app builders to Git. Git push deploys, environment variables, queues, scheduled jobs, SSH, and staging support the workflow around your application.

Bring your application and keep control of the code
Agency and Scale support Laravel, PHP, Node, and Next.js applications alongside WordPress sites. They give development teams a common managed platform for different projects without turning server patching into part of every application's maintenance routine. Each site or app runs in an isolated container.
Apps built with AI app builders fit this workflow when you export the project to a Git repository. That repository becomes the source your team reviews, maintains, and deploys. Check dependencies, configuration, and application behavior before release just as you would for code from any other development process.
Business covers WordPress and PHP sites. Choose Agency or Scale for the application workflow described here, including Laravel and Node apps. The hosting plan comparison helps separate supported project types from the additional capacity and governance features of each plan.
02
Next js hosting with a managed deployment workflow
Next.js applications combine code, runtime behavior, and configuration. A successful build is part of preparing the application, while a useful release also needs working routes, correct environment settings, and checks of the features your visitors use. Agency and Scale provide the managed hosting environment around that work.
Deploy from Git, use SSH when you need direct access, and test in staging before changing the live application. Choose North America, Europe, or Asia-Pacific as the origin region per app. Global CDN and edge cache support cacheable content, while requests that depend on application state still need appropriate handling in your code.
The cloud hosting platform explains region choice, isolated containers, and autoscaling within plan resources. Review those boundaries alongside the requests your application performs rather than treating cloud infrastructure as unlimited capacity.

Make the repository the source of each release
Git push deploys connect changes in your repository with application deployment. Your team reviews the code, decides what to release, and checks the result. Keeping the deployment tied to source control makes the release process easier to reason about than editing live files as the main development workflow.
Environment variables provide configuration for the environment where an app runs. Keep environment-specific settings separate from application source and review them when moving between staging and production. Your team remains responsible for supplying correct values and understanding what each application setting controls.
- Maintain the application in a Git repository.
- Review code and dependencies before choosing a release.
- Check environment variables for the target environment.
- Test important routes and workflows in staging before the live release.
The managed hosting responsibility guide explains how platform care and application ownership fit together. Hosting tools support your workflow while code quality and release decisions remain with your team.

Run queues and scheduled jobs alongside the application
Some application work belongs outside a visitor's request. Queues support background tasks, and scheduled jobs run work that needs to happen on a schedule. Agency and Scale support both, so a Laravel or Node project can include the operational work around its web interface.
Your team defines the jobs, their schedule, and their behavior. Review how a task handles failure, repeated execution, and the application state it changes. Those are code and operations decisions specific to the project, even when the hosting platform supplies the environment that runs the work.
Use SSH to inspect the application when direct access helps. Staging gives you a place to check changes before they reach the live project. Include background tasks in that review, since a page that loads correctly does not prove that the related scheduled work behaves correctly.

Keep infrastructure care with the hosting provider
NowHosted handles server patching, supported runtime management, WAF protection, malware scanning, SSL renewal, backups, and uptime monitoring every minute. Your team maintains application code, dependencies, content, and compatibility. That boundary matters for custom applications because framework and package changes remain part of the development lifecycle.
Agency includes daily backups retained for 30 days. Scale extends retention to 90 days. A backup gives you a recovery point, so consider what has changed since that point before restoring over live application records. Keep a clear application check for confirming that a recovery or release works as intended.
The hosting security overview covers platform controls. If your application supports a store, review the ecommerce hosting guide for the separate WooCommerce features, including hourly backups on Scale.

Choose Agency or Scale around your operating needs
Agency costs 149 USD per month or 888 USD per year, equivalent to 74 USD per month. It includes 20 sites, 600k monthly visits as a soft limit, 150 GB storage, team roles, and priority support. It supports a mix of application projects and client sites within the plan capacity.
Scale costs 399 USD per month or 2,388 USD per year, equivalent to 199 USD per month. It includes 60 sites, 2M monthly visits as a soft limit, 500 GB storage, dedicated resources, SAML SSO, and an audit log. Every plan includes uptime monitoring every minute. Scale adds a named on-call contact and 24/7 priority support with a 15-minute first response for more demanding operating requirements.
Monthly visit allowances are soft limits with no visit overage fees. NowHosted suggests an upgrade when usage calls for it. Compare capacity, support, and governance together rather than choosing a plan only from a traffic estimate.
Free migration is included. NowHosted deploys your repository to a staging copy, tests the build, and switches DNS with a low TTL once it checks out, so the app stays online. The website migration process explains the handover. The free hosting audit reads your current public site without changing it and requires no card, giving you a starting point for reviewing the current setup.
