ServerPilot

Cloud server management

Visit ServerPilot

ServerPilot is a server management platform for hosting WordPress and other PHP applications on servers at any cloud provider, while keeping root access and ownership of data. It handles server and app setup, security, and day-to-day operations so users can run sites without managing the underlying configuration themselves.

Core capabilities include one-click WordPress installs, AutoSSL with Let's Encrypt certificates, multiple PHP versions on the same server, a default firewall, automated updates, and app isolation. Monitoring ranges from a log viewer and server resource metrics to PHP process, app request and error, and MySQL health and cache metrics. Sites and databases can be migrated between servers, and the stack uses Nginx with Apache and HTTP/3 support. ServerPilot is part of the same company as EarlyDog.

It is aimed at developers and businesses running PHP applications across one or more cloud providers. Pricing is usage-based and billed hourly per server and per app, with no subscription, across three editions: Economy, Business, and First Class, each adding monitoring depth and support priority. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card, and each server can be assigned to a different plan.
