LEMP cloud hosting on AccuWeb.Cloud runs on a Compute instance. Choose the vCPU, RAM, storage, and networking appropriate for your workload. There are no LEMP-specific fixed plans and no separate LEMP software subscription — you pay for the Compute resources you provision.

LEMP cloud hosting on AccuWeb.Cloud gives you an Ubuntu NGINX hosting foundation with a complete MariaDB PHP hosting environment behind it, all running on a Compute instance you control.
Operating-system foundation for your cloud instance.
Handles incoming web requests, serves static content, and can route application requests.
Provides the PHP runtime.
Current marketplace image includes PHP 8.3. Available PHP versions may change as the marketplace image is updated.
Provides relational data storage.
Provides browser-based MariaDB administration. It sits beside the stack as an admin tool and is not part of the request-processing path shown in the diagram below.
A PHP NGINX server splits incoming traffic: files that need no processing are served straight away, and PHP requests are handed to PHP, which may read from MariaDB.
Step 1
A browser asks for a page or a file
Step 2
Receives every request and decides where it goes
then, depending on the request
Either
Images, CSS, JavaScript and other files are served directly. No PHP or database is involved.
or
Or
NGINX passes PHP requests to PHP (typically through PHP-FPM) to run your code.
Step 3
PHP code, framework or CMS builds the response
Step 4
Stores and returns relational data when the application asks for it
Admin only · outside the request path
Browser-based MariaDB administration
A visitor requests a page, an image or an API endpoint on your domain.
Static files are served immediately. Anything that needs PHP is passed on.
Your application builds the page, reading or writing data as needed.
Records come back to the application and the finished response returns to the visitor.
This diagram explains how a request travels. It makes no claim about response times or benchmark results.
The one-click LEMP stack is launched from the AccuWeb.Cloud marketplace onto the Compute instance you choose.
What one click does — and doesn't do
One-click deployment prepares the LEMP environment. Your application code, database content, integrations, and custom configuration are deployed and managed separately.
NGINX hosting suits PHP applications that want a dedicated web server in front of PHP, handling static and dynamic content together. For NGINX PHP hosting on a cloud instance, these are the workloads it commonly fits:
location ~ \.php$location /api/location /try_files $uri /index.phpproxy_passroot …/public/index.php?$argsdev.example.comstaging.example.comNGINX does not automatically make every website faster, and nothing is tuned for you on deployment. Real-world performance depends on your application code, database design, NGINX and PHP configuration, and the Compute resources you choose. Application compatibility depends on software version, extensions and dependencies.
LEMP vs LAMP comes down to the web server, the database and the configuration model. Both run PHP applications on Linux.
| Component | LEMP | LAMP |
|---|---|---|
| Operating System | Ubuntu 24.04 | Linux |
| Web Server | NGINX | Apache |
| Database | MariaDB | MySQL |
| PHP | Latest Supported PHP | Latest Supported PHP |
| phpMyAdmin | Included — administers MariaDB | Included — administers MySQL |
| .htaccess | Not used by NGINX | Supported by Apache |
| Configuration Model | NGINX server blocks | Apache virtual hosts and .htaccess |
Neither architecture is universally better. Choose based on application compatibility, web-server requirements, administration preferences, and your existing deployment model.
Explore LAMP HostingRoot access means the configuration is yours. Nothing is optimized for you automatically — you shape NGINX, PHP and MariaDB around what your application needs.
server { listen 80; server_name example.com www.example.com; root /var/www/example.com/public; index index.php index.html; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/phpX.Y-fpm.sock; } location /api/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000; } } # test, then reload $ sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx
Illustrative example — paths, ports and the PHP socket name depend on your application and the installed PHP version.
You control your NGINX configuration, application code, database content and custom software. AccuWeb.Cloud does not tune your application automatically.
Application-aware MariaDB backups are not included by default and need to be configured separately — for example, by scheduling database dumps for your own databases.
AccuWeb.Cloud provides managed cloud and infrastructure support within the defined support scope. Application-level work remains customer-controlled unless separately included.
| Area | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Cloud infrastructure and platform | AccuWeb.Cloud support — within the defined support scope |
| PHP application management | Customer, unless separately included |
| MariaDB content administration | Customer, unless separately included |
| NGINX application tuning | Customer, unless separately included |
| WordPress administration | Customer, unless separately included |
| Custom development | Customer, unless separately included |
