Quickly and easily spin up servers optimized to
run WordPress lightning fast.
SpinupWP enables Let’s Encrypt SSL as default on all new sites. Your WordPress debug logs are stored in a separate location that is not publicly accessible. Every site on your server is protected by custom firewall rules and isolated from other sites. SpinupWP keeps your server software up to date with the latest and greatest versions of PHP, MariaDB/MySQL, and Nginx.
SpinupWP was built by WordPress developers for WordPress developers. Spin up a WordPress site and get WordPress-specific optimizations right from the start. Reduce database requests and speed up your site with WordPress-centric full-page caching and Redis object caching. Pick either subdirectory or subdomain configurations for your multisite installs with a click of a button. Control your scheduled posts with a site-specific server cron. Keep your debug.log safe in a custom WordPress log location. And as a bonus, WP CLI is automatically installed!
You don't have to be an experienced sysadmin to use SpinupWP. Every page in the dashboard has step-by-step guidance with hints and links to our documentation. SpinupWP actively helps you make configuration decisions with best practices in mind.
Detailed feedback provides you thorough updates of activities on your server. The event log provides you real-time updates of changes you make to your server. You can also configure both email and in-app notifications, giving you control over how you receive updates about changes to your servers.
SpinupWP’s clean user interface makes managing your sites and servers a delight!
I have been with Server Pilot for the last 3 years and I was looking for a few more features with the same simplicity. After hearing the interview on the WP Builds podcast SpinupWP seems like a perfect fit for my business. So far I am really enjoying it! Your onboarding process is 10/10
As with RunCloud, there’s no software installation necessary. Just give SpinupWP access and you can manage your server remotely.
It’s like a remote control for your server, but especially designed for WordPress.
Did my first server maintenance with SpinupWP and I'm floored. Such a great experience all around: email notification, dashboard UX, and update speed.

I finally had the chance to use @SpinupWP and I'm loving it! A breeze to setup, the servers are blazing fast, and the user interface is a delight to work with.
Connect your DigitalOcean account (or any other provider), spin up a server, and sit back while SpinupWP does the nitty gritty of installing all the software and tuning it to run your WordPress site as fast and as reliably as possible.
Ten minutes later, your fresh new server will be ready for you.
During the step-by-step site setup process, you simply check boxes to configure a free SSL certificate, setup cron jobs and caching rules, along with anything else that a high-performing WordPress site requires.
Need root access? No problem, add as many SSH users as you like with full root access via sudo. You have the keys to your castle.
Need to give a client SSH or SFTP access to their site? Each site is set up with its own SSH user that only has access to that one site.
Your new server is loaded with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and the latest standard installs of Nginx, PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, and Redis.
You maintain full control over your server and can walk away anytime. Though sticking around means not having to keep up with security updates or worry about changes in best practices, you can disconnect your server from SpinupWP any time and have a go at managing it yourself. We don’t lock you in.
Want to manually tweak some configuration files on the server via SSH? Go ahead. Even if it’s a configuration file that SpinupWP edits, it can handle it.
Worried about keeping your server secure? Don’t be. Your server is configured with a firewall and security updates are installed automatically as they are released.
We also notify you when there’s a major update available for a software package you have installed (e.g. Nginx) and provide you instructions on how to upgrade.

Each server provisioned by SpinupWP is security-hardened from the word go. SSH login is disabled for the root user (you login with your user and use sudo instead). The firewall only allows connections to Nginx and SSH and failed attempts are monitored and blocked when they reach a threshold.
Nginx is configured to defend against XSS, clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and other attacks. Software security updates are installed automatically.
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.
For each site that you add to your server via SpinupWP, a new system user is created for that site. All site files are owned by the site user and a PHP-FPM pool is configured to run as that user as well.
Each site only has access to its files and so if only one site has a security vulnerability and gets infected with malware for example, only the files for that one site can be infected.
If you’re hosting a site for someone else, you can easily give them SFTP/SSH access to just that site. And because of the security isolation between sites, they will only have access to files for that site.
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.
SpinupWP will actively point you in the right direction and offer suggestions for maintaining your server. Much of the time SpinupWP will suggest things that you may not have even thought of.
SpinupWP’s guidance is especially helpful for those new to managing a server, but can also help those who’ve been at it a while, providing transparency to our decisions.
SpinupWP will configure your server to install security updates as soon as they are available to reduce the likelihood a software vulnerability putting your server at risk.
SpinupWP will install the latest stable versions of Nginx, PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, and Redis from the standard apt-get 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-get upgrade.
Need to deploy a staging site quickly? No problem! With SpinupWP you can create a complete copy of an existing site, which includes all files, the database, and server configuration. Ready to upgrade your site to a newer version of PHP but want to ensure your site is compatible? That’s where site cloning comes in.
Create a site clone with a few simple clicks, then test the new PHP version in an isolated environment, without impacting your live site. Once you’re confident in the changes, you can flick the switch on your live site.
Site backups are full backups of your site files (media, themes, and plugins) and database. They allow you to easily restore a single site or just some files or data from a single site.
SpinupWP’s site backups, you choose your preferred provider to stash your backups whether that’s Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, or Google Cloud Storage. You plug in your account details and SpinupWP will send your site backups there in an easy-to-see format.
Add a git repository to your SpinupWP site and simply push to master to deploy your code. GitHub, Bitbucket, or a custom git repo will work. You can also configure a build script to run some tasks on the server after deployment is complete.
Create a new team account, invite a member of your team, and allow them to spin up their own servers. Or just only allow them to add sites, the permissions you give them is up to you.
Contact us and let us know - our team is always working to add new features.

Unsolicited 5-star review: I've moved all of my WordPress sites to @digitalocean / @spinupwp and I couldn't be more impressed. A small learning curve to think differently after 20 years of managed hosting, but the experience and guidance has been great. #WordPress #webhosting
