Bolt is great for fast in-browser JavaScript apps. BuildPaza builds a real, server-rendered PHP + MySQL app with a persistent database — the kind you can host anywhere and keep running.
European and GDPR-aware, with data that lives in the EU and code you own without a proprietary runtime.
No credit card · Free to start · Own what you build
Every app gets its own MySQL database — data you enter is saved and survives, live in the preview. Not just front-end state.
PHP + MySQL runs on any €/year web host. Keep it on BuildPaza for €9/mo or take it anywhere — no edge-runtime lock-in.
EU-hosted models and data, GDPR-aware by design.
