Why developers
choose Spaces.

Spaces are aimed at developers and website operators who do not want to spend time and resources on complex DevOps processes but still want to utilize the benefits of a modern environment. The container-based Spaces allow for precise allocation of resources, guaranteeing computing power and storage space.

The performance level, which can be adjusted anytime between 1 and 64, ensures that web applications receive exactly the performance they need – no more, no less. A performance level corresponds to 128 MB RAM and 0.0625 vCPU – transparent, fair and precisely scalable.

Whether a small project or a scaled enterprise application: thanks to the fully managed infrastructure of the LAY7 cloud, Spaces provide the right solution for every requirement, combined with maximum transparency and hourly billing.

Guaranteed performance

Each Space receives dedicated CPU and RAM resources – guaranteed, no overbooking.

Easy configuration

Configuration runs through an intuitive web interface – as easy as a traditional webspace.

Scalability on demand

Adjust the performance level and storage of your Space at any time with just a few clicks.

Hourly billing

Full cost control – costs are based on storage size and performance level of your Space.

Easy onboarding

A familiar interface
with cloud power.

Spaces have been specifically developed for users who have previously worked with classic web spaces and now desire a modern, more powerful solution. The LAY7 cloud interface presents key functions such as SSH/SFTP access, managed databases, cron jobs and domains in the way you already know.

At the same time, modern container infrastructures provide much better availability, improved scalability and an isolated environment for each of your web applications. You keep the familiar simplicity without having to forgo the benefits of the cloud.

Whether you host a simple WordPress site, a Laravel project or a complex web application – with Spaces, you get started in the LAY7 cloud quickly and without surprises.

Technical highlights

Modern features
under the hood.

Spaces offer a modern, Kubernetes-based platform that combines numerous powerful features under the hood – all fully managed. You don't have to worry about operating system updates, server configurations or security patches.

With extensive tools and standard interfaces, Spaces integrate seamlessly into existing workflows. Whether you are starting a new WordPress site or running a Laravel project: Spaces provide the ideal, future-proof foundation for your web application.

  • Choose your desired PHP version, set individual PHP configurations – all PHP versions are fully managed and regularly updated.
  • Connect securely via SSH or comfortably transfer your code and files via SFTP – just as you would with classic web hosting.
  • Tools like wp-cli, composer, npm and git come pre-installed. Start developing immediately – without additional installations.
  • Connect your Space to one or more databases – fully managed database solutions are available directly through the LAY7 cloud.
  • Set up recurring tasks like backups or email dispatch directly in the interface as cron jobs. No terminal knowledge required.
  • Use Git for deployments or set up simple CI/CD pipelines – Spaces make modern workflows accessible for smaller projects as well.
Scaling

Grow without
migration or downtime.

With Spaces in the LAY7 cloud, you scale your web applications according to your needs. Whether it is preparing for increased loads in a short time, a seasonal traffic event or simply the growth of your project – raise performance and storage at any time during operation.

You stay in control: through the intuitive dashboard, you set performance levels and storage size yourself – without a support ticket or waiting time. Your applications benefit immediately from the increased performance without the need for migration or restart.

Any size

Fit for projects
of every size.

Spaces are ideal for beginners, agencies and medium to large projects. Their flexible structure makes them just as suitable for small one-pagers as for complex web applications.

Do you have multiple projects or clients? In the LAY7 cloud, you can organise your Spaces into projects to ensure clear separation and easy management. Projects are technically isolated from one another, so security and resource issues are excluded.

The combination of dedicated performance, resource-efficient architecture and an easy-to-use management interface lets you run hosting at a professional level – all without system administration.

Routing

Flexibly connect
Spaces via Routes.

Spaces are made accessible through so-called Routes. This allows you to represent even complex routing scenarios where multiple paths, domains or subdomains point to the same or different Spaces.

Decide under which domain or subdomain your Space should be accessible. SSL encryption via Let's Encrypt is automatically handled by the LAY7 cloud for you.

Through this flexible routing layer, you can also easily implement WordPress multisite installations or web applications with white labeling – all through a simple, intuitive interface.

Quickly connect domains

Register or connect your domains directly in the LAY7 cloud – with DNS zone and free SSL certificate.

Secure HTTPS connections

Automated Let's Encrypt certificates provide encrypted connections without additional effort.

Flexible path control

Route multiple paths to different Spaces or services using simple, declarative rules.

Subdomains and aliases

Manage subdomains and alias domains for your Spaces – all through a central interface.
