Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SpinupWP, a simple and quick answer to managing website hosting." December 19, 2023 5.0 Overall, the experience with SpinupWP has fantastic and rolling it out into our deployment process has been a brezze. When we have had questions or require support they have acted quickly to resolve the issue and/or provided helpful guidance. Pros SpinupWP is simple to setup and configure allowing you to quicky set a site up and running. It's interface allows for the quick management of each server or site and has a growing range of capabilities. Cons The platform is not a feature rich as some other competitors however they have shown to be actively taking input from users within the community to address any shortcoming and priorities new features. Alternatives considered [Ploi](https://www.capterra.com/p/184502/Ploi/)[Plesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/154482/Plesk/) Reason for choosing SpinupWP Easy of use, Cost and Server Provider Support Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 20, 2023 Thanks for the kind words Joseph! I'm looking forward to more discussions with customers, identifying the highest value features, and shipping them sooner. πŸ™‚ - Brad MV Matt V. Founder and CEO Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Making server and site administration easy." February 1, 2024 5.0 Pros I love how easy it is to add and manage sites. Also, SpinupWP's ability to keep my server up-to-date on security patches, integrated backup to B2, and ability to easily deploy on push to my repository makes it super streamlined for me to keep my business running smoothly. Cons One feature that I'd like is the ability to just pull a subdirectory on deploy from git, not the entire repo. Alternatives considered [Forge](https://www.capterra.com/p/234049/Laravel-Forge/) Reason for choosing SpinupWP Better WordPress support, less expensive, built-in security updates. Review Source Response from SpinupWP February 6, 2024 Thanks for the kind words Matt! CT Chris T. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SpinupWP streamlined my set up." December 20, 2023 5.0 It would take an awful lot for me to change hosting. The experience is smooth and pain free. I've only had to talk to support once and that was a while ago. Pros It takes a lot of the had work out of launching and hosting websites without taking away the control. Cons Initially it was having to set up transactional emails. This was a bit of a learning curve for me but once it was sorted, it was easy as. Now days it's probably the lack of a quick staging environment but I believe that's in the pipeline. Reason for choosing SpinupWP I took the SpinupWP trial first and loved it. Switched from [Divi](https://www.capterra.com/p/201958/Divi/) I was lacking some skills especially around server security. I also wanted to streamline things a bit. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 26, 2023 Love to hear that SpinupWP has helped you level up Chris, that's so great! πŸ™‚ The site clone tool can be used to create a staging site pretty quickly already, but you'll need to refresh the files and database of that site manually or use a third-party plugin. We're launching a refresh site tool in the next couple of months that will fill this missing gap. -Brad KG Kenny G. Web Developer - IT Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing Service for WordPress Oriented Hosting" December 19, 2023 5.0 The service and support is great and I've had minimal issues. All of my sites that run on servers managed by their service are very, very fast. It is a managed hosting service developed by WordPress devs and for WordPress devs. Just great. Pros The ability to quickly spin up servers that are pre-configured for WordPress sites is great. Not only are they optimized for maximum website speed, but they are also optimized in terms of security. I can completely set up a server in 15 minutes and be ready to go. Amazing. After using the service for my company, I actually signed up to use the service for my personal stuff as well. It just makes things so much easier to manage. Cons There are a few settings/features missing by default which aren't configurable in the control panel, but they can be adjusted manually which I end up doing myself. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to be able to adjust PHP-FPM pool settings in the control panel as well as have Cloudflare real IP stuff set up by default in Nginx. That and I have had an issue with backups when storage space is low. Reason for choosing SpinupWP Ease of use, price, and default configuration that is optimized for WordPress. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 20, 2023 Very nice review Kenny, thanks for that. πŸ™‚ We definitely plan to add config file editing to the app and better support Cloudflare, but since you can currently do these things via SSH, other things have been given higher priority. We've been discussing taking a disk space measurement of the backup during the backup process, just before sending the backup to cloud storage, and adding it to Todos if the server is low on space. We haven't added it to our roadmap yet though. - Brad RA Richard A. Managing Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SpinupWP reduces my risk and saves me time." December 19, 2023 5.0 Pros The portal is detailed, yet understandable. Excellent UI. I can see the condition of any site very quickly, and in some cases, push a button to rectify the issue. Backups are much easier. and can be automatic or manual, which saves space for sites that don't change much. Cons There is a learning experience for any new service, and I delayed my transition to Spinup because I was too busy. That said, then I did make a commitment to migrate, it was not a problem. Reason for choosing SpinupWP Their monitoring was what I needed. Their backup service and page cache were welcome surprises. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 23, 2023 Excellent, so great to hear that SpinupWP is working well for you Richard! πŸ™‚ -Brad TR Tanner R. Senior Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best WordPress Server Management" December 19, 2023 5.0 Pros As an engineer that does some minor WordPress hosting, it's extremely easy to set up new sites and get working right away without worrying about configuring everything. I can spin up a new low-cost server quickly and know that it's secure, fast, and kept up to date. Cons Early on there were fewer features, but they have continued to add killer features over time and I've been impressed with it since the beginning. Switched from [Forge](https://www.capterra.com/p/234049/Laravel-Forge/) Forge is really a tool for PHP applications and I was using it to host WordPress projects. It can do that, but wasn't directly built for it. Moving over to SpinupWP was a no-brainer β€” A tool as slick as Laravel Forge, but specifically built for WordPress. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 26, 2023 Thanks for the nice review Tanner! πŸ™‚ SpinupWP was actually inspired by Forge and we're big fans of that platform for hosting Laravel apps. JW Jonathan W. Web Developer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Works as expected and hoped for" December 19, 2023 5.0 Great, as I said, no real issues since 2019, it always reliably worked. Pros I have been using SpinupWP since it came out in 2019, and for all the time it worked without any issues and delivered what it promised. I use it to run a server with a couple of WordPress installations, thus creating a steady flow of extra income plus allowing me to easily setup new stating / development installations. There really is not much else to say, it just works! Cons No big cons, but the features are limited and focused, which can absolutely also be seen as a pro. And setting up a new site takes a little bit longer than ideal, but less than 5 minutes, so not a big deal. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 22, 2023 Thanks for the excellent review Jonathan! πŸ™‚ Creating a site is going to be much quicker in the future. I posted a sneak peek in the community: https://community.spinupwp.com/c/suggestion-box/changing-primary-domain-too-slow#comment\_wrapper\_26684211 TS Tom S. Managing Director Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "High quality tool for server management" December 20, 2023 5.0 SpinupWP allowed us to open up an extra revenue stream for our business with minimal effort. Pros I trust that how the SpinupWP app sets up servers is the right and most efficient way to do this for WordPress sites - the team has years of knowledge of the intricacies of WordPress. The app itself is very easy to use and covers most common administrative tasks. Issues with servers are minimal, and often, the support team will be able to advise on how to solve these. Cons I still have to delve into server configuration for some tasks, such as setting up WebP image delivery or adjusting cache rules. This is pretty tedious, especially with a growing number of servers. Would be nice if better defaults were in place for these, or at least there was some way to manage this in SpinupWP. Alternatives considered [Kinsta](https://www.capterra.com/p/234135/Kinsta/)[Cloudways](https://www.capterra.com/p/151414/Cloudways/) Reason for choosing SpinupWP Lower price than managed hosting and the high quality of the product itself. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 26, 2023 Thanks for the review Tom, glad to hear SpinupWP is working well for you! πŸ™‚ There's certainly room for improvement around defaults. We've had that feedback lots, mostly around defaults for backups, and have been thinking about how best to tackle it. No timeline yet though. -Brad MA Matt A. Managing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A modern wordpress management tool" December 20, 2023 5.0 SpinupWP is generally a really good option for WordPress and PHP. However, I'm a massive fan of platforms like Vercel, which have nailed the atomic deployment pipeline and a seamless developer experience. Over time, I have moved towards NextJS and Vercel due to this dev experience. SpinupWP is trying to bring WordPress into the modern era, but sometimes I feel like WordPress is a losing battle. That said, kudos to the SpinupWP team who do an amazing job at supporting developers and bringing WP forward. Pros It brought WordPress development into this century by allowing a CI/CD-type setup. It is also a pretty simple and straightforward interface with fairly good documentation. Cons It nags you about having recommended plugins (Limit Login Attempts Reloaded), even though we deliberately use an alternative. It would be nice to have notifications integrated with Slack. It would be great if it could somehow support atomic deployments (currently, if my build fails for some reason, then I have to log into the server and troubleshoot it, leaving me with a broken site). Reason for choosing SpinupWP Price and ease of setup. Also because they supported servers in Australia (Vultr). Switched from [cPanel & WHM](https://www.capterra.com/p/165247/WHM/) Managing WordPress via manual FTP file drop is a nightmare! Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 21, 2023 Thanks for the very nice review and feedback Matt! Slack notifications are on our roadmap for the not too distant future and atomic deployments are on our radar, but not scheduled yet. As you may well be aware, you can use Buddy.works for atomic deployments now. -Brad BM Ben M. President Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect for the user who prefers to DIY host, but with guardrails. " December 19, 2023 5.0 I've saved more than $10,000 over the past 5 years hosting my own and my clients' sites with SpinupWP. Pros The cost is a fraction of hosting websites elsewhere with comparable performance benchmarks. Cons It's hard to complain about such a bargain, but if I could get the ability to pair with Domain registrars to more seamlessly handle DNS. But that's not a fair complaint. It's a feature request. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 21, 2023 Yes! I can hardly wait until we have an integration for Amazon Route 53 or Cloudflare DNS. It's going to make so many things slicker in the app. Thanks for the very nice review! πŸ™‚ - Brad PK Peter K. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Truly a great product made by nice people." December 19, 2023 5.0 Pros Everything just works as expected, and the features are thoughtfully crafted. Meaningful and fast interface. Nice support that listens and takes criticism to heart. And it gets better and better every few months with updates. Cons That I need to scroll down 1000 lines in the logs to get to the latest entries. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 21, 2023 Woohoo, thanks for the review Peter! πŸ™‚ That log viewer could definitely be improved. We've discussed reversing the order so the latest entries are at the top. VS Vivian S. Technical Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's a great product and eases server admin" December 19, 2023 5.0 Love it, won't go back to setting up servers manually any time soon. Pros It doesn't overtake your server, you still have complete management over it. It makes setting up sites for production, staging & testing a breeze, as you can easily duplicate sites and copy them between different servers if needed. Love the automation with git and push to deploy, makes the workflow really simple. Love the automated backups which makes it super simple to have your site backed up to an alternative hosting provider and restored in no time at all. Cons It is missing a dashboard of sorts that shows you how your servers & sites are performing, but not a huge deal as most hosting providers provide this anyway. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 22, 2023 Love it, thanks for the review Vivian! πŸ™‚ CV Costas V. Website developer Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SpinupWP: A system to effectively manage WordPress sites" December 20, 2023 4.0 Pros Page caching, or better put total Website caching, that truly speeds up page loading and subsequently increases max load Cons I'd like to see more logs containing detailed results of actions you can perform, like moving a site to a different domain. I think this can speed up the necessary checks you need to perform after the move. Alternatives considered [WP Engine](https://www.capterra.com/p/234177/WP-Engine/) Reason for choosing SpinupWP On SpinupWP you can always find "How-to" explanatory instructions for the most common tasks, on every page. This speeds up the learning curve and also it's cheaper. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 26, 2023 Nice review Costas, thanks for that! πŸ™‚ AR Andrew R. Founder and Principal Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great way to spin up a new server and host multiple domains!" December 19, 2023 5.0 Really really positive. I have recommended this service onto many others already. I even told an executive at AWS that their system is not user-friendly for non technical people. They agreed! Pros Once I spun up my droplet on DigitalOcean (SpinupWP provided a comprehensive checklist on how to do this), I could immediately add a new domain. They gave a step-by-step to point my DNS to my droplet. Since then, I have added five new domains to my Droplet. I also upgraded my Droplet to handle the new load. Cons While not something that will change, I have had a client running on Apache and another on Lightspeed with WordPress installs, and I fonud it difficult in SpinupWP as their architecture only supports NGINX. Reason for choosing SpinupWP Ease of setup with little to no technical knowledge needed. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 23, 2023 Thanks for the awesome review Andrew! πŸ™‚ -Brad Rod P. CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Missing WordPress Hosting Dashboard" December 19, 2023 5.0 Pros It has a modern and intuitive interface, allowing us to automatically spin up new AWS EC2 instances for WordPress hosting and subsequently create and manage individual WordPress instances much faster than the usual manual process. Cons Initially, they did not support Graviton EC2 instances, which caused some setbacks for us. That said, they now fully support this. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 22, 2023 Awesome! Thanks for the review Rod. πŸ™‚ DI David I. All in one man Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best carefree platform for managing my VPS" December 19, 2023 5.0 Pros What do I like and what was the main reason for me to pick SpinupWP is that I was sick and tired of managing my server and it was a security nightmare. Now for most of the things care SpinapWP platform, I have more time to manage my business. Cons I would like to see more beginner-friendly tutorials and especially more videos. Switched from [cPanel & WHM](https://www.capterra.com/p/165247/WHM/) Too wide and complicated I needed a platform for WordPress which managed security automatically. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 20, 2023 Thanks for the review David! We've been discussing making things more beginner friendly recently. We have a beginner SSH tutorial coming out soon and we're planning to add more features to the app that you currently have to do manually, like removing old versions of PHP. - Brad HN Henrik N. President Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best WordPress configuration of cloud instances" December 19, 2023 5.0 Pros We needed to setup an AWS EC2 instance for a WordPress deployment. Using SpinupWP was quick and easy. It saved us hours of configuring Ubuntu, Nginx and caching. What we ended up with was a solid WP installation that excels at speed tests and keeps getting updates and daily backups all handled by SpinupWP. Cons Having used SpinupWP for over a year we have yet not ran into any issues. Switched from [WP Engine](https://www.capterra.com/p/234177/WP-Engine/) We switched away from WP engine as it lacked the flexibility and control that we needed over install and plugins. Did not have much expectations for SpinupWP as it was so cheap compared to WP engine, but figure it would be worth a try. Turns out it was all that it claimed to be and then some. Love SpinupWP! Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 20, 2023 Great to hear that SpinupWP is working well for you Henrik. Thanks for the kind words! πŸ™‚ - Brad RT Ryan T. Co-Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great way to manage a WordPress server" December 20, 2023 5.0 Pros Ease of setup and maintenance makes setting up sites quick. Cons Plugin status doesn't update right away so it's hard to see what plugins need updating. Switched from [Pantheon](https://www.capterra.com/p/186038/Pantheon/) Pantheon was too expensive and not flexible enough. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 26, 2023 Thanks for the review Ryan! πŸ™‚ We've been talking about having a refresh button for plugin updates, so hopefully we'll get to this soon. -Brad Ahmed M. CEO E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing Service and the Best Value for Money" December 21, 2023 5.0 Pros The documentation provided everything I needed, and I haven't had any issues since switching. Cons Can't think of anything. I would say it'd be nice if there is an internal backup option. Switched from [Cloudways](https://www.capterra.com/p/151414/Cloudways/) Pricing. I was able to purchase a server with double the specifications for the same amount of money. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 26, 2023 Great stuff Ahmed, thanks for the review! πŸ™‚ GS Gilles S. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SpinupWP made me love WP again ;-)" December 19, 2023 4.0 SpinupWP is the product I was looking for: I can host WP sites on our own servers, without having to worry about it ! Pros No more intrusion into WP sites ! no more xxx links on pages, no more reputation blocking, no more fear when it comes to update WP or plugins ;-) Cons site-by-site PHP/FPM configuration is a little tweaky (files at different places) and I miss SFTP backup availability... Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 23, 2023 Thanks for the nice review Gilles! πŸ™‚ -Brad SH Sven H. \- Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, stable and in constant development" December 19, 2023 5.0 Pros – Easy to use – Nice interface – Good basic functionality (setting up wordpress, move wordpress between servers, external backup) Cons – at the moment only daily backup is possible. But they are working on an update to change that – in the personal plan the monitoring feature is not available – would be nice to see more server stats (cpu usage, ram usage etc per server) Reason for choosing SpinupWP – didn't like the interface of cPanel – Dedicated Wordpress Hosting is too expensive – free to choose a cloud-server or dedicated server at the provider I like Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 23, 2023 Thanks for the nice review Sven! πŸ™‚ Server stats is still a ways off, but I'm also looking forward to the day we have that. -Brad Tom R. Principal Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tried Others - Settled on SpinupWP" December 19, 2023 5.0 Very positive - no problems that I can recall. Pros Clean interface, flexibility in setting up new sites (with or without WordPress), easy deployment. Cons In ability to support alternate setups (e.g. an Apache stack) Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 23, 2023 Thanks for the kind words Tom! πŸ™‚ - Brad ZL Zachary L. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Top tier WP hosting software" December 19, 2023 5.0 Really positive experience from every angle. Pros This makes WP management as simple as using the Settings app on your phone. Honestly the cleanest interface I’ve seen and best support I’ve ever had for a wp hosting software Cons Don’t even have a negative thing to say. Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 21, 2023 Thanks for the very nice review Zachary! πŸ™‚ OB Owen B. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for managing lots of client sites" December 19, 2023 5.0 Pros I use SpinupWP to manage websites for clients. In the past, we would go with someone like WP Engine or Flywheel, but in those situations you're tied to their infrastructure. With SpinupWP, I usually deploy solely to AWS and have never had any issues. Cons Maybe some more integrations with various SaaS providers could be cool. Alternatives considered [Kinsta](https://www.capterra.com/p/234135/Kinsta/)[Flywheel](https://www.capterra.com/p/234644/Flywheel/)[WP Engine](https://www.capterra.com/p/234177/WP-Engine/)[cPanel & WHM](https://www.capterra.com/p/165247/WHM/) Reason for choosing SpinupWP It offers more control and has more of a focus on WordPress developers than general and potentially non-technical WordPress Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 21, 2023 Great to hear Owen! I'd be curious to know what SaaS providers you had in mind. We're planning to launch some more cloud server and storage integrations including an AWS integration with several of their services in the near future and integrate with Cloudflare and Slack further down the line, but that's about it. KS Ken S. Bottle Washer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome Platform!" December 19, 2023 5.0 I'm so glad that I found SpinupWP. I didn't even know that a service like this existed until I stumbled into it on a Wordpress forum somewhere. It's what made me feel comfortable enough to give hosting my own WP server a try. I've spent a couple years now using SpinupWP and it's been flawless. Great job and kuddos to the development team! Pros It's so easy to setup. SpinupWP looks after all of the server administration which I don't have time to learn. Cons There's nothing that I don't like about SpinupWP. I love it! Review Source Response from SpinupWP December 26, 2023 Great to hear Ken, thanks for the awesome review! πŸ™‚ Similar Products Featured
