Git hosting
Git hosting with version control built into your web space
Manage your website code with Git directly in our control panel, deploy changes from your repositories and work on the command line via SSH – included in every hosting plan.
- Git version control in the control panel
- Deploy straight from your repositories
- SSH access with key authentication
Why Git?
Git version control for professional web projects
Uploading files by FTP and hoping nothing breaks is a thing of the past. With Git version control, every change to your code is recorded with a message, an author and a timestamp. You can see exactly what changed, compare versions and return to an earlier state whenever you need to.
For teams, Git is the standard for working on the same project without overwriting each other's work. But solo developers and freelancers benefit just as much: a clean history, safe experiments in branches and reproducible deployments.
At CheapTopHost, Git is part of every WordPress and Linux hosting plan. You do not need a separate server or any special setup to connect your repositories with your live website.
- Complete history of every change
- Easy rollback to previous versions
- Ideal for teams and freelancers alike
Features
What our Git hosting offers
Everything you need to bring a modern development workflow to your website.
Git in the control panel
Create and manage Git repositories for your websites in our control panel – no command line required for the basics.
Deploy from repositories
Pull code from your repository onto your web space and publish new versions of your site in a controlled way.
SSH access
Work on the command line, run Git commands, manage files and automate tasks over a secure connection.
SSH keys
Log in with SSH keys instead of passwords. Keys are more secure and make automated deployments straightforward.
Custom document root
Point your domain to any folder, for example the public directory of a framework, so only the right files are exposed.
Multiple PHP versions
Choose the PHP version each website needs and adjust the PHP configuration to match your project.
Typical workflow
From commit to live website
A simple example of how you can work with Git on our hosting.
- 01
Develop locally
Write and test your code on your own computer and commit changes to your Git repository.
- 02
Push to your repository
Push your commits to the remote repository you use for your project.
- 03
Deploy to your web space
Pull the latest version onto your hosting via the control panel or SSH.
- 04
Go live
Your updated website is online. If something is wrong, roll back to the previous commit.
Secure shell
SSH access for developers
SSH gives you direct, encrypted access to your hosting account. From the terminal you can run Git, manage files, work with command-line tools or run your own scripts.
We recommend logging in with SSH keys. You create a key pair on your computer, add the public key in our control panel and connect without typing a password. The private key never leaves your device.
- Encrypted connection to your web space
- Key-based authentication
- Combine with scheduled tasks (cron) for automation
