About
BuiltFast Developers
Web hosting veterans on a mission to build fast, reliable, and secure platforms.
BuiltFast is a founder-led web hosting company focused on building hosting the right way: fast, reliable, secure, and backed by real support from people who care.
We've been building hosting infrastructure together for 20 years, from Site5 to Pressed to A2 Hosting. After decades of working within other companies, we started BuiltFast to finally do things our way.
This site is our engineering home, where we share the tools, utilities, and technical writing we create along the way. Our open source projects are battle-tested in production and built with the same philosophy we bring to hosting: security-first, quality over speed, and practical solutions that solve actual problems.
Our Philosophy
Security-first
No shortcuts. Your users' data matters.
Quality over speed
Get it right, not just done.
