Statamic CMS Hosting on Offshore VPS

Statamic 4 requires PHP 8.1+ and Laravel 10; Statamic 5 raises that to PHP 8.2+ and Laravel 11. AnubizHost VPS images ship with PHP 8.3 and Composer 2, satisfying both versions out of the box. The default flat-file storage mode means Statamic can run with zero database configuration - perfect for portfolio sites, marketing pages, and small to mid-size blogs.

For larger sites or membership-based workflows, Statamic supports an Eloquent driver that stores entries in MySQL, MariaDB, or Postgres. AnubizHost VPS includes MariaDB 11 in the base image; Postgres can be installed via apt or run in a Docker container alongside the Laravel app. NVMe storage keeps both modes fast.

Statamic supports both its native Antlers templating language and standard Laravel Blade. That makes it accessible to designers comfortable with simpler syntax and to developers who already know Blade from Laravel projects. Root SSH access on your AnubizHost VPS lets you install commercial Statamic addons, run Laravel Artisan commands directly, and tune the Octane HTTP server if you choose to deploy with Octane instead of PHP-FPM.

Statamic's git workflow integrates naturally with the flat-file storage mode - content changes can be committed and deployed alongside code changes. For teams using AnubizHost VPS as a deployment target, standard Laravel deployment tooling (Envoyer, Deployer, or custom rsync-based scripts) all work without modification.

Statamic Pro requires a license per site, which is the only proprietary cost in the stack. Self-hosting on AnubizHost offshore VPS gives you the rest of the privacy and cost profile you would expect: no KYC, crypto-only billing, datacenter locations in Iceland, Romania, Finland, and the Netherlands. Daily off-server backups protect your content directory and database.

Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, and USDT are accepted on every plan. Your Statamic VPS activates within minutes of network confirmation. Root SSH access plus a Laravel-tuned default stack (PHP 8.3, Nginx, MariaDB 11, Redis) gives you everything needed for a production deployment without the babysitting of managed Laravel hosts.
