Spin Up Your Own Ultra Fast WordPress Server in Minutes

SpinupWP is a modern cloud server control panel designed to manage WordPress sites and serve them lightning fast.

What’s New in SpinupWP ✨

You can now schedule multiple daily, weekly, and monthly backups. 💿 🚀

A Different Spin on a Cloud Server Control Panel

Other cloud server control panels allow you to reboot the server, add sites, and other things you expect. SpinupWP offers typical control panel features but is also different in some key areas…

A Focus on WordPress

When you add a new site to your server via SpinupWP, it will configure a free SSL certificate, cron jobs, caching rules, WP-CLI, and everything needed to run WordPress lightning fast. Our team has over a decade of experience in WordPress development, so we know WordPress better than most.

Developer Experience

SpinupWP is designed for developers by developers. Deploy code with `git push` and in a couple of clicks switch the PHP version of a site or inspect the error logs. Or use the SpinupWP CLI to manage your server without a mouse and use the REST API and PHP SDK to automate repetitive tasks.

Built-in Coaching and Education

Our customers love the comprehensive docs here on our site as well as the helpful hints in the sidebar of each screen of the app. SpinupWP will also create a prioritized list of things you need to do with your servers and sites to keep them performant and secure.

Full Root Access & No Lock-In

It’s your server, SpinupWP is just here to help. You can disconnect your server from SpinupWP any time. We don’t lock you in. We use standard installs of server software, no weird custom-built packages that you can’t update. You have complete control.

A Modern Cloud-Based App

This isn’t your dad’s server control panel. SpinupWP connects to your server via SSH and runs commands for you. No installing it on your web server like the control panel dinosaurs that are still kicking around, *cough* cPanel *cough* Plesk.

Here's What Our Users Say 👇

DigitalOcean + @spinupwp is great for managing and creating client sites.

Finally finished migrating my old WordPress sites. Ended up using @spinupwp with Hetzner. 🎉 SpinupWP is pretty neat. It's like managed hosting, except you get full SSH access to Ubuntu, which I need for any random ideas I get.

I just migrated a big WordPress site to @spinupwp (with DigitalOcean on the backend) and holy hell I think I'm in love. The only problem is now I have to migrate all my sites. 🤣

@spinupwp is on a roll with new features and supported updates!

On ServerPilot it was essentially up to me to install server-related updates like linux patches and such. SpinupWP walks me through what needs to be updated. Added peace of mind.

Moving a site to a different server with @spinupwp is so easy you think it didn't work. *checks* Yep, it worked. Switch the DNS and enjoy the hour you just got back.

Taking a fresh look at @spinupwp for the first time in a year and wow, this product has made some incredible jumps. This is exciting.

It's so incredibly easy and fast when you want to migrate a #WordPress site to a new server with @spinupwp⚡️ Honestly, it takes about 2 minutes and only 3-4 mouse clicks, including DNS updates. ⏱️

Got a #WordPress site hosted w/ the amazing @spinupwp running #PHP 8.1.3. So far so good. 💯 across the board on Lighthouse mobile & desktop and no errors.

Incredible service. My sites have never been so fast!

I’ve been really impressed with SpinupWP! I migrated one site to test it out and the process was so simple that I went ahead and migrated another 7 the next day. The setup improved our site speed and support has been fast to answer.

WordPress Multisite

Multisite Support Out of the Box

SpinupWP is designed for WordPress and this includes support for multisite. Enabling a multisite network is as straightforward as toggling a switch during the new site creation wizard and selecting either a subdomain or subdirectory configuration. No fiddling with your `wp-config.php` file, installing the network, and worrying if the Nginx server is configured correctly.

Performance

Cache All the Things

Caching is one of the keys to a high-performing WordPress site. All sites are set up with Redis object caching to greatly reduce database requests and with the check of a box, you can also enable full-page caching to skip PHP processing entirely and serve pages lightning fast, just like a static site. Full-page caching rules for WordPress core and popular plugins like WooCommerce are preconfigured.

Automation

Scheduled Posts, Published on Schedule

For every site you add via SpinupWP, a server-side cron job will be configured to make sure that your WordPress site’s cron is executed every minute, as it should be. Not only will scheduled posts get published when they should, but other background tasks will work, like WooCommerce subscriptions and webhooks.

SpinupWP has been a game changer for me.

SpinupWP has simplified, streamlined, and revolutionized how I manage my "servers" and sites. I can't recommend it enough. I mention SpinupWP whenever anyone around me talks about WordPress hosting.

Robust Caching for Lightning Fast WordPress Sites

Caching is one of the keys to a high-performing WordPress site. SpinupWP offers a robust caching solution at three levels.

Browser Caching

Reduce Asset Requests

SpinupWP configures Nginx to return far-future cache duration headers for static assets like CSS, JavaScript, fonts, images, etc., preventing them from being re-downloaded in subsequent requests. Static assets are also compressed (gzip) to reduce their file size. All of this significantly reduces the amount of data transferred and makes navigating between the pages of your site feel instant.

Page Caching

Eliminate PHP Processing

Most pages on a WordPress site don’t change between requests. For these pages, we can save the entire page as a static HTML file and serve it for subsequent requests, eliminating all PHP and database processing. With the flip of a switch, you can turn on full page caching in SpinupWP, define custom caching rules, clear the cache, and more. No third-party plugins required, though WP Rocket is fully compatible.

Object Caching

Cut Back on Database Queries

WordPress can be slow and database queries are by far the most common cause. With every page request, WordPress will query the database several times, often dozens of times. SpinupWP sets up an object cache on every server which saves queried data for subsequent requests. This results in a massive reduction in round trips to the database, dramatically speeding up your WordPress site.

Designed for Developers by Developers

The SpinupWP team has a background in WordPress and Laravel development and system administration with a strong appreciation for great design. We’re building the cloud server control panel that we’ve always wanted.

Push-to-Deploy

Deploy Code on Your Server via Git Push

Developers! Developers! Developers! Add a git repository to your SpinupWP site, define the branch to deploy from, and simply push to that branch to deploy your code. GitHub, Bitbucket, or a custom git repo will work. Composer is available on all SpinupWP sites by default, and it’s 100% compatible with Composer-based WordPress boilerplate projects like Bedrock. You can even configure a build script to run additional tasks on the server after a deployment is complete.

Learn more

Easy Switching

Multiple Versions of PHP on a Server

SpinupWP configures PHP for each site separately, allowing you to run different versions of PHP with different settings on a server simultaneously. For example, you might run PHP 8 for new sites, but maybe you have an older site that still needs an update to work on PHP 8. No problem. Just choose PHP 7.4 from the select box when creating the site in SpinupWP. Once you update the site to run on PHP 8, you can simply edit the site in SpinupWP and select PHP 8 from the select box.

Learn more

Code

REST API & PHP SDK

With our REST API and PHP SDK you can spin up servers and create and manage sites remotely without logging into the SpinupWP dashboard. This allows you to script repeatable tasks and automate your processes. If you host client sites, you can even build a custom dashboard for yourself and/or your clients.

Learn more

Always Up-to-Date

Latest & Greatest Software

SpinupWP will install the latest stable versions of Nginx, PHP, MySQL, and Redis from popular public apt repos. No “who-knows-what-they-did” custom builds of packages. Disconnect from SpinupWP in the future and you can still keep your packages up-to-date with `apt upgrade`.

Learn more

Log Viewer

Convenient Access to Logs

WordPress doesn’t enable error logging by default. Probably because the log is saved to a publicly accessible directory and can quickly balloon to take up a lot of hard drive space. SpinupWP enables error logs by default but stores them in a safe place and makes sure they’re rotated regularly like other server logs. Should you ever need to inspect these logs, the Site Log viewer allows you to see the last 1,000 lines from any of the server log files, as well as use the refresh feature to see new log entries in real-time.

Happiest on the CLI? Stay on the CLI

If you love WP-CLI (we do! ❤️) you’ll be very pleased to find it available on the command line the first time you log in to your server. We also have a CLI package that you can install on your own machine, allowing you to list your servers, SSH into a server, and do lots more.

I've managed my own servers and setups and also worked with hosting companies. SpinupWP is literally the perfect solution that allows me the control I want, without the extra overhead.

Security Security Security

SpinupWP’s two most important security principles are to only ever expose access to services when necessary and to keep the software of exposed services up-to-date.

Rock Solid Server Firewall

Each server is configured to disallow all connections except HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH by default. Failed SSH attempts are monitored and blocked when they reach a certain threshold. Logging into SSH via the root user is disabled.

Learn more

Automatic Server Software Updates

Keeping software up-to-date is critical to maintaining a secure server. SpinupWP configures your server to install security updates as soon as they are available, reducing the likelihood of a software vulnerability putting your server at risk.

Learn more

Airtight Isolation of Sites on a Server

Each site that you add to a server gets its own system user, which only has access to its own files. If a site on the server is compromised with malware, for example, only the files for that site can be infected.

Learn more

Keeping WordPress Up-to-date

WordPress has a reputation of being insecure because people don’t update it. A vulnerability in an outdated theme, plugin, or WordPress itself is easily exploited. Keeping WordPress up-to-date is paramount. SpinupWP helps by setting up file permissions that support WordPress auto updates, showing which sites require updates in the SpinupWP dashboard, and allowing remote updating in just a few clicks.

Move a Site to Another Server with Ease

Let’s say a site on one of your servers has grown. It’s using a lot of CPU and memory, and is slowing down the other sites on the server. You need to move that site to its own server.

Usually this is a time consuming, manual process, but with SpinupWP it’s just a few clicks to spin up a new server and move your site using our site move tool and guide while maintaining all your configuration and near-zero downtime. It’s also very handy when you need to upgrade your server to the latest version of Ubuntu.

Should I Switch to SpinupWP from My Managed WordPress Host?

If you're unhappy with your managed WordPress host and the grass is looking a lot greener with SpinupWP, it certainly won't hurt to give us a try.

You may find yourself relating to Chris Haas of Vendi Advertising who now prefers SpinupWP over both managed hosting and building their own server management tools.

But to make a final decision on moving your sites over, you should consider the following pros and cons to switching.

👍 Pros	👎 Cons
Unleash the power of dedicated CPU cloud servers at an affordable price	Monitoring and incident response are your responsibility
When things go wrong, you have full control to fix things yourself right away	No 24x7 support, no quick responses
No one is tinkering with your servers or sites without your knowledge	Reboots, updating server software, and other maintenance is your responsibility
Consistent costs, no visitor-based pricing
Much better margins when hosting client
