Frequently asked questions

Short answers to common FastCP setup and operations questions.

On this page

Can I keep HTTP enabled while SSL is pending?

Yes. FastCP supports migration-friendly behavior where HTTPS is not forced until you decide to enable it.

Does FastCP support multiple PHP versions?

Yes. Websites can run different PHP versions via dedicated PHP-FPM pools, and versions can be installed on demand.

How does backup isolation work?

Backups run under each user context with repository scoping and tagging, reducing cross-user risk.

Can I restore snapshots on another server with different usernames?

Snapshot data is portable. Target mapping and missing resource creation policy should be explicitly reviewed during cross-server restore planning.

Do I need to manually configure rclone?

For advanced rclone backend usage, yes. Configure remotes from SSH as the current user, then validate backend in the control panel.

What install command should I use?

curl -fsSL https://get.fastcp.org | bash
