PHP supports almost all popular databases and operating systems.

4. The most important thing is that PHP can be used for program extension in C and C++


Software Features

1. Open source code

In fact, all PHP source code can be obtained.

2. Freeness

Compared to other technologies, PHP itself is free and open-source code.

3. Shortcut

Fast program development, fast running, and fast learning of technology itself. Embedded in HTML: Because PHP can be embedded in HTML language, it is relative to other languages. Easy to edit, highly practical, and more suitable for beginners.

Frequently asked questions

I want to develop software. How much will it cost?

Software development costs vary depending on several factors, such as:

  • the scale of your application idea (e.g., a simple two-page website or enterprise-level software solutions);

  • required innovations (whether it needs extra research, inventions, or uses a well-known tech stack);

  • the software development company’s experience in tech and project management;

  • software outsourcing rates.

Every idea is unique, and various factors affect its cost. That’s why we recommend contacting us for initial consulting and free analysis and estimation.

How much time will it take for you to make my app?

3 key parameters influence the software development timeline:

  • application complexity and scope (more complicated products take longer to develop);

  • quality requirements (higher standards demand more testing and extended timelines);

  • interdependencies between features (some functionalities may block others, limiting the ability to speed up even with more resources).

These factors are thoroughly considered when providing estimates for custom product development projects.

How do you guarantee product quality?

MiraCloud uses best practices in project management and software development, from initial consulting to technical tools and QA processes. Our professional QA engineers ensure quality. Additionally, MiraCloud guarantees the solutions developed and tested by our specialists.

What methodologies do you use in your work?

We primarily use Agile methodologies—Scrum and Kanban—proven effective in managing software projects. These approaches allow our Clients to stay actively involved in product development, remain updated on progress, and provide feedback at any stage.

What happens after you finish my app?

After the application is released, we offer support and maintenance services. The specific terms and conditions are outlined in an additional Statement of Work. We also provide training and knowledge transfer for internal teams. MiraCloud  focuses on building long-term relationships by offering ongoing consulting and management services.
