Spaces

A Space is web hosting as you know it - only better. You configure your Space as easily as a classic web space, but benefit from flexible scaling and high availability.

Each Space includes:

Apache web server with PHP 8.1 - 8.5
SSH and SFTP access
Cronjobs
Storage (1 - 300 GB)

After creation, you automatically receive a preview URL where your Space is immediately accessible.

You can adjust performance and storage at any time - prices are shown live during configuration.

Creating a Space

Open Spaces → Create Space
Enter a name
Optionally select a project
Set performance level and storage
Click Save

Your Space will be ready within seconds.

Configuring a Space

General

Here you change name, performance level and storage.

The performance level determines how much computing power and memory your Space gets. Start low and increase as needed - you can adjust this at any time.

SSL Backend: Your Space is always accessible via HTTPS from outside. Internally, it is addressed via HTTP by default. Enable this option if your application expects HTTPS internally as well. Typical signs are redirect loops or URLs incorrectly generated with http://.

SSH / SFTP

Via SSH and SFTP you access your Space directly - for example to upload files or run commands. Here you find hostname and port for the connection. The username is always space.

For authentication you can set a password or add SSH keys.

Web Server

Here you select the PHP version for your Space.

Document Root: The directory from which your website is served. You find it where the start file of your application is located (e.g. index.php or index.html). If in doubt, check the documentation of your software.

PHP ini settings: Here you adjust PHP limits, for example for larger file uploads (upload_max_filesize) or longer script execution times (max_execution_time).

Cronjobs

Cronjobs run commands automatically at scheduled times - for example for regular maintenance tasks of your application. Select a schedule (minutely to yearly) and enter the command. Which command is required can be found in the documentation of your software.

Status

Green - Space is running
Orange - Change is being applied
Grey - Space inactive
Red - Space faulty or blocked

Using Custom Domains

To make your Space accessible under your own domain, create a Route. A Route connects a URL to your Space. You can also specify subdomains and paths - allowing you to run multiple websites or applications under different addresses.

The domain must be registered or added in your account. SSL certificates are created automatically. More on this under Routes.
