Is FuelPHP still maintained?

The latest stable release on the official site is 1.8.2 from June 2019, and no newer stable release has been published. A 1.9 development branch exists on GitHub, so treat it with caution for new projects.

How do I install FuelPHP?

From cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, select FuelPHP and choose a directory. It is usually a few clicks with no manual upload. You then build your application code on top of the installed framework.

Can FuelPHP run on shared hosting?

Its stated requirement is PHP, which standard shared hosting provides. Because it is a developer framework rather than a ready-made site, you write the application code yourself, and compatibility with newer PHP versions should be tested.

Is FuelPHP free to use?

Yes. FuelPHP is open-source software released under the MIT licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.

Can I install other applications on the same plan as FuelPHP?

Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run FuelPHP alongside other apps in its category (Frameworks), such as Laravel and CodeIgniter, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.

Which Hostripples plan should I choose for FuelPHP?

Check the requirements listed above against the plan resources. Every plan can be upgraded at any time, so you can start small and grow.

Do you migrate my existing FuelPHP site for free?

Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.

What is FuelPHP?

FuelPHP is a PHP framework using the MVC pattern with HMVC support, built for developers writing their own web applications. It is community-driven and open source under the MIT licence. Softaculous installs the framework files, but there has been no new stable release since June 2019, so its maintenance status should be weighed before starting new projects.

How to install FuelPHP on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, FuelPHP is live

Project status: The latest stable release listed on fuelphp.com is 1.8.2 from June 2019, and the Softaculous package is the same release. A 1.9 tag exists on GitHub (December 2021) but nothing newer is published, so there has been no release in over three years. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.
