Squash

Quickly develop and test WordPress, ecommerce sites, and custom web apps

Sold out

The journey to deploying your code shouldn’t feel like the start of a MrBeast video. (“Today, we’re spending a million dollars on QA servers to test three lines of code.”)

The truth is, testing code can burn precious hours of engineering time and cost a small fortune in DevOps and server expenses.

You need a tool that lets you create functional test environments using your own database and tech stack, so you can say goodbye to maintenance overhead.

Introducing Squash.

TL;DR

Create single-click staging sites for each branch of code and share the URLs with all your stakeholders
Access single-click test environments for popular apps like WordPress, Joomla, and Ghost—or import your own custom code

At-a-glance

Overview

Squash lets you create test environments and disposable staging sites for each branch of code in just one click.

Squash makes it easy to create single-click staging sites for each task or branch of code, so you can run multiple active tests.

Each deployment creates a unique testing URL, which allows you to share your work with team members, clients, and QA testers.

Manage access to your deployments with optional Basic HTTP Authentication for an extra layer of security.

Testing URLs

Create testing sites for speedy software iteration and share the URLs with your team.

Squash also gives you access to tons of ready-to-deploy apps, including WordPress, Joomla, and Ghost, so you can build your test environment super fast.

And speaking of WordPress, you can spin up multiple sites to test them independently for different clients.

You can import your custom code from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket for more creative freedom.

That means you can combine different technologies to quickly define complex apps and microservices, like building a React.js app with a Node.js backend and MySQL database.

Supported Apps

Choose from ready-to-deploy apps or import your own custom code to build test environments.

Build production-replica test environments with every asset in place, ensuring that your test environments are as close to production as possible.

Store up to 100GB of assets that are accessible across all deployments, so everything is literally at your fingertips.

And because Squash supports all file types, you can upload product pictures, media files, and database copies like MySQL database dumps.

Assets Feature

Upload all types of media files to create a test environment that works for you.

Best of all, you'll save hours of engineering time by replacing your existing dev, staging, and QA servers with Squash’s cloud-based test environments.

Cut down even more on server costs by defining auto-shutdown policies triggered by date, inactivity, or branch merges.

That way, you’ll be able to focus your time, energy, and resources on delivering high-quality software to your customers.

Active Deployments

Squash makes it easy to replace your QA servers with a single, user-friendly dashboard.

When you’re using the right platform, staging code should be as easy as testing samples at an ice cream shop. (“I think I need to try the chocolate mocha again.”)

Squash gives you everything you need to quickly deploy code with one-click test environments, easy-to-share testing URLs, and centralized asset storage.

Deploy super fast.

Q: I tried to deploy a Wordpress site and it was only on v6.

1. So I was prompted by WP after installation. But Squash doesn't allow updates since it made some files read-only, like .htaccess, update-core.php, etc. This is useless if it doesn't allow updates on the site. Otherwise, this is promising.

Q: My other programmers upload stuff that may or may not work in WP but is your software able to show me where ...

they made mistakes even though it is already being hosted via Godaddy and we are both standing on different continents? Is there a use case for this senario?

Q: Is this only if I am a programmer?

I mean, if my programmer uploads my files to my host on Godaddy and I wanted to check it out for mistakes then, this is not that kind of software, is it? Also, he uses PHP and Angular, and you do not support those either, eh? Do I not need your SaaS then?

Q: Hi!

How is it better than cPanel/WHM? I can create a staging in one click there and then just push it to the live site with another click,

A: Squash allows you to quickly spin up unlimited WP sites (unique WP URLs) - although there are limits in terms of how many sites can be active/live at a given time. This allows you greater flexibility to experiment with changes, demos, etc. With Squash you don't need a fixed cPanel install hosted somewhere, each Squash environment is ephemeral and ready to be deployed when needed.

Q: How do I push the test site back to my main site / production site?

Is there a mechanism to push seamlessly, or would I need to use a migration plugin as with any webhost?

A: Hello! A plugin such as this one is recommended for migrations:

Or you may also use SFTP. Each Squash instance has their own unique SSH/SFTP endpoint.
