Understanding the boundary.

WHAT IT RUNS

Static files, always PHP applications Anything using a database

WHAT IT GENERALLY DOES NOT RUN

Persistent processes Server-side JavaScript applications requiring a running process Applications needing specific system software

WHY

Shared hosting is configured for a particular kind of application, with resources shared between accounts.

A persistent process consumes resources continuously.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR FRAMEWORKS

If your build produces plain files, host them anywhere including here.

If it needs a running process, it needs different hosting.

HOW TO FIND OUT WHICH

Your framework's deployment documentation distinguishes static export from server rendering.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE BUILDING

Establish which you need, and confirm where it can run.

ASK US

Open a ticket describing what you intend to build.

Better to know before than after.
