Application Hosting

How to use Lighthouse, the Stack Harbor client portal: every page, field and status explained.

  • Find your way around Application Hosting

    See what Application Hosting offers, open the list of your environments, and read each environment row and status.

  • Create an environment

    Pick a region, add and size your layers, name the environment and check its price, or create the backup storage your database backups need.

  • Manage an environment

    Read an environment’s Overview, then start, stop, restart, put to sleep, rename, clone or delete it.

  • Scale layers and nodes

    See an environment’s layers and nodes, resize a layer, change its node count, turn on auto scaling, and work on a node and its files.

  • Deploy code and install add-ons

    Use an environment’s Tools tab to deploy from Git or an archive link, and to install, run and remove add-ons on its layers.

  • Set firewall rules for an environment

    Turn the environment firewall on or off, add inbound and outbound rules per layer, and open a public endpoint for a port.

  • Add a custom domain and SSL

    Serve an environment under your own domain, point your DNS at it, and secure it with a free or uploaded SSL certificate.

  • Add an SSH key for Application Hosting

    Add your public key so you can sign in to your environments over SSH and SFTP, and find the connection details for a node.

  • Read Application Hosting usage and costs

    Check what an environment uses right now, see its cost this month, and read the account-wide usage report by month or by date range.

  • Manage WordPress in an environment

    Install the site agent, manage WordPress plugins and migrations from an environment, or move the site to WordPress Hosting.
