Ploi

Server management tool for deploying and running servers

Visit Ploi

Ploi is a server management platform that provisions servers from supported cloud providers or a custom VPS, connects Git repositories, and deploys applications with zero downtime. It handles infrastructure tasks such as server setup, SSL certificates, DNS records, load balancing, database and file backups, monitoring, and status pages, reducing the manual DevOps work involved in running production sites.

The platform includes one-click installs for Laravel, WordPress, Statamic, OctoberCMS, Craft CMS, and Nextcloud, plus dedicated server types for load balancing, Docker, Redis, Valkey, workers, Meilisearch, Elasticsearch, storage, and email. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket for auto-deploy on push, and offers notifications via email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, and a mobile app. A full REST API supports automation, and an MCP integration connects AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to deploy, inspect logs, and manage servers. Security features include two-factor authentication, IP address lock, login history, SSH key management, and granular team permissions.

Ploi is aimed at developers and teams managing servers and applications. It offers a free plan, a 5-day trial on the Pro plan without a credit card, and paid editions—Basic, Pro, and Unlimited—billed monthly or annually, with limits varying by server count, sites, deployments, and API request rates. Lifetime plans are available by request.
