# Overview

> Deploy and manage web applications on your servers in Loupp

## Overview

Sites in Loupp represent projects deployed on your servers. You can deploy multiple sites on a single server, each with its own domain, configuration, and deployment settings. The system supports both Laravel and static HTML/PHP applications with automated deployment from your source control repositories.

<Info>
  For information about server management and configuration, see **[Server Overview](/server/creation)** and **[Server Settings](/server/settings)**.

### Source Control Integration

Connect your sites to version control systems for automated deployments:

<Warning>
  If you encounter source control errors, you'll need to go to your source control settings to reconnect or resolve authentication issues. Visit **[Source Control Settings](/settings/source-control)** to troubleshoot.
