Key benefits of hosting Bolt on a VPS

Root access and custom config

With full root access, you control how your Bolt app runs. Install the PHP version you use, customise your server, adjust your stack, and set up custom workflows that managed hosting simply doesn’t allow. This level of access is essential when you self-host Bolt and want a platform that truly fits your projects.

Isolated resources

Your VPS resources are dedicated, which means consistent performance, fast load times, and better reliability for your site – even during traffic spikes. Virtual private servers are the ideal solution for production applications and sites, offering the stability and speed users demand.

Cost-effective scaling

Start small, then upgrade your plan when you need more power or storage. Thanks to the VPS SSD infrastructure, you benefit from fast disk performance as your project grows. It’s a practical way to manage hosting costs over time while keeping your data, user traffic, and applications secure.

Your questions answered

What is Bolt hosting, and how does VPS Bolt work?

Bolt hosting is a form of application hosting that runs the Bolt CMS or framework on a dedicated VPS server instead of shared infrastructure. This gives you greater control, improved performance for your site or app, and the flexibility to build and manage a custom stack, storage, and deployment workflow over time, using tools like PHP, node, and GitHub as your platform evolves.

Which operating system is best for hosting Bolt?

Most developers choose or another distribution when building a Bolt application. These operating systems are secure, widely used, and well supported by the Bolt community. They work seamlessly with PHP and node, making setup, deployment, and long-term support easier. On top of that, you can self-host Bolt and manage your sites, data, SSL, and custom configuration.

Can I migrate my existing Bolt project to a VPS?
