French Symfony 6/7 hosting: PHP 8.3, Composer, PostgreSQL, Redis, Messenger.
Starting at €2.99/mo
Introduction
Symfony is the reference PHP framework for complex professional applications (intranets, ERP, SaaS, B2B APIs). Version 7 requires PHP 8.2 minimum and takes full advantage of OPcache and JIT. By-Hoster offers a tuned Symfony hosting with PHP 8.3 pre-installed, Composer in CLI, PostgreSQL 15 and Redis for cache. You install Symfony on our Linux KVM VPS in a few commands. Our team documents the full procedure (Docker Compose or shell scripts) and provides human 24/7 technical support if you get stuck. No proprietary 1-click installer, just a standard, reproducible stack you fully control.
Full stack: PHP 8.3 + OPcache + JIT, Composer in CLI, PostgreSQL 15 or MySQL 8.0 for Doctrine ORM, Redis for cache/sessions/messenger, RabbitMQ (on VPS) for async messaging, NVMe SSD for I/O performance. Compatible with Symfony 5.4 LTS, 6.4 LTS and 7.x.
Infrastructure in our DC-FR_NA(01) datacenter in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, operated directly by the team. French datacenter, native GDPR compliance, real human 24/7 support. From €2.99/mo on Web Pro shared for light Symfony sites, or VPS from €4.99/mo for apps with Messenger, Mercure or specific needs.

Frequently asked questions
PHP 8.2 minimum for Symfony 7. Our servers ship PHP 8.3 by default.
Download the CLI: curl -sS https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer | bash, then add ~/.symfony5/bin to your PATH. Check: symfony version. Create a project: symfony new myapp --version="7.1.*" --webapp. The Symfony CLI smooths out local development and deployment.
PostgreSQL 15 is the recommended pair for Symfony + Doctrine: native JSON/JSONB support, advanced types (UUID, ARRAY), excellent for migrations. MySQL 8.0/MariaDB 10.6+ is supported too, more familiar for traditional PHP developers. Doctrine handles both via the DATABASE_URL config in .env.
Yes on a VPS. Install Redis or RabbitMQ as transport, set MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DSN in .env. Run workers via Supervisor: php bin/console messenger:consume async --time-limit=3600. For critical jobs, add retry policies and failure transports. Shared hosting is not recommended for Messenger (no long-running daemons).
Standard pipeline: 1) git pull. 2) composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader. 3) php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod. 4) php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate --no-interaction. 5) Asset build: npm ci && npm run build (if using Webpack Encore or AssetMapper). 6) Reload PHP-FPM: systemctl reload php8.3-fpm. Use Deployer or a custom bash script.
Symfony 5.4 LTS is supported until November 2024 (security until November 2025). Upgrading to Symfony 6.4 LTS (supported until November 2027) then 7.x is recommended. Path: composer require symfony/skeleton "6.4.*" then follow the official upgrade guide. Our support can audit your project to estimate the effort.
