FAQ

  • Is PHPizza free?
    • PHPizza itself is FOSS (Free and Open Source Software), but I do not provide a hosted SaaS version, so you are going to need either of these to host it:
      1. Custom infrastructure
      2. A cloud provider partnership
      3. Or maybe just a old phone (lol, jk, btw, don't rlly run it on ur phone unless ur dev-ing. itl expose ol contacts and if 🔋 runs out ur site goes 👇)
  • What is the difference between Oracle MySQL and Facebook MySQL
    • They have a lot of differences, but here are some key differences:
      • One is owned by Oracle, the other is owned by Meta
      • Oracle MySQL uses InnoDB, while Facebook MySQL uses MyRocks
  • How do I insert dynamic content?
  • How do I change the look of my website?
    • You do so by making a skin. See the Skinning guide for more details.
  • What slice of pizza is the logo modeled after?
    • The logo is supposed to be modeled after a slice from Gusto's, but apparently that was unclear to some users. It really is yummy in my opinion. Not sponsored or anything, just saying.
  • Will you charge me for email? (Please, don't do so like WiX did)
    • Don't worry, we won't do that. Checking your emails on a potato? Weird, but if that potato can somehow run a relatively recent Thunderbird build then maybe.
  • Will you charge me for domains?
    • While PHPizza proxies the Gandi.net domain registrar, it does not pass the money through a business account. This is also what that "Gandi.net API Keychain" was.
