Shared-Hosting CI/CD
Zero-config auto-deploy for PHP sites that only have FTP
- Problem
- Plenty of PHP sites and freelance projects still live on shared hosting with no SSH and no Git. Every change means manually uploading files over FTP, which leads to missed files, wrong folders, and overwritten production. Mainstream CI/CD never connects to these environments.
- Solution
- A deploy tool that works over FTP/SFTP or hosting panel APIs: connect a repo, build and package it, upload only changed files by hash, and auto-rollback on failure. Includes deploy history, diff preview, and a paste-able hook command.
- Users
- Freelance PHP developers, small web shops, and owners of low-traffic sites
- MVP
- Connect a GitHub repo to an FTP/SFTP account; incremental upload with a file manifest; one-click rollback to the previous release; deploy log and failure email alerts; web UI with nothing to install
- Revenue
- Per-site subscription (a few dollars per site per month); free tier with one site and one deploy per day
- Why now
- Shared hosting remains dominant in the SME market while every CI/CD assumes containers and SSH; a single-connection tool is exactly the kind of niche an indie can own
