Meet bunny.net: A PHP Foundation Sponsor supporting the language that powers the web it delivers

Starting June 2026, bunny.net joined the PHP Foundation as a Silver Sponsor, reinforcing its commitment to the open-source technologies that keep a huge share of the modern web online.

bunny.net is a European web infrastructure platform with 119 points of presence worldwide that brings together content delivery (DNS, CDN, video), security (WAF, DDoS and bot protection), and a developer platform (app containers, serverless functions, database and S3-compatible storage). In this way, bunny.net gives builders everything they need to build, secure, and deliver applications globally, with an EU sovereign foundation.

PHP: at the core of what bunny.net delivers

A large share of the traffic bunny.net serves and secures every day is powered by PHP. From WordPress sites and eCommerce stores to custom applications and membership platforms, PHP sits behind a significant portion of the domains that terminate on bunny.net's edge. That is why support for the language runs through the platform:

• WordPress: bunny.net maintains its own official WordPress plugin that integrates the majority of its products, making it easy for the millions of WordPress sites to make their sites fast and secure with the bunny.net platform.
• Running PHP applications: Developers can deploy PHP apps directly on bunny.net using Magic Containers, with scaling across bunny.net's global network built in.
• Security for PHP sites and apps: Bunny Shield protects PHP applications with DDoS mitigation, a Web Application Firewall, and bot protection.
• Storage and data: Bunny Storage handles assets and backups, while Bunny Database provides SQLite on the edge for PHP workloads that need low-latency reads close to users.
• Media: Bunny Stream takes care of video encoding, storage, and delivery for PHP-based course platforms, membership sites, and other media-heavy applications.
• Global delivery: The Bunny CDN and DNS move PHP-generated pages, APIs, and assets closer to end users across all 119 PoPs.

Giving back to the language its customers rely on

"So much of the web we deliver and secure is built on PHP, so supporting the Foundation is a natural way to give back to a language our customers rely on every day."

— Dino Kukic, Developer Growth Lead at bunny.net

As a silver sponsor, bunny.net is putting tangible support behind the ongoing maintenance, security, and evolution of PHP. This helps ensure that the millions of applications running on it, including the ones flowing through bunny.net's network, have a strong foundation to build on for years to come.

The PHP Foundation is grateful for bunny.net's support!
