My experience with SpinupWP has been 99% positive. If there has ever been a failure in the system, it's because I got impatient and neglected to read the documentation before trying a new feature. Frankly, I think their services are vastly under priced for the pure simplicity and the number of features this service provides.

Setting up new servers is incredibly easy. Attaching remote databases is super easy. Backing up, migrating, cloning, and pushing Wordpress instances around is easy. The documentation is great. The customer support is super responsive. The community is also quite helpful. This organization knows that they're doing when it comes to give people the tools to host their own Wordpress sites.

There have been a couple of hangups with server identity management in the workflow, but that's some really deep stuff that I don't even think I want access to. Customer support is happy to help in the rare instance when it's needed.

Excellent. Refreshing. The service has done what it says on the box, and is reliable. Delicious Brains continue adding important features.

It works, with very few issues. Simplicity of implementation and design. Cost effectiveness. Direct support is knowledgeable and helpful.

Though I have rarely needed support, it can take a day to respond. Maybe it's my time zone.

I’ve been using SpinupWP for a few years now and it’s so much more powerful than the hosting provider I was using before. I can pick my own server provider and plan according to what fits my needs and budget. Aside from the single issue mentioned before, it has been worry free and just works.

SpinupWP made setting up and managing my own WordPress server super simple. The dashboard is powerful yet intuitive, and the documentation is comprehensive and helpful. SpinupWP has also been on the ball regarding best practices, such as upgrading from obsolete PHP versions, or outdated Linux versions.

It’s hard to think of any downsides to SpinupWP. It does what it sets out to do very well. If I didn’t have to update Linux packages manually that would be great, but not a major issue. Only once did I have an issue, and it seemed to be because the SpinupWP plugin got disable accidentally on a site. That caused a CPU spike which crashed my server regularly. Makes me wonder why it wasn’t under must-use plugins.

It was fun to try and use, but I ended up choosing other services when I reached 20+ sites

I like a lot they value proposition, and how they create a new service away from standard shared servers / vps hosting companies.

Overall, after several months using it, I ended up paying more for each site compared to other Managed WordPress companies like Kinsta o Nexcess, and I have to do more server maintenance from my end that I would like to.

We had a few issues setting up some servers in the beginning, but we haven't had issues since then (almost two years ago from this review). Their support has been great, and it's taken a lot of the DevOps away without the cost. We spend around $100+ per month, but it also means I don't have to hire a full time DevOps team member.

SpinupWP makes managing my cloud servers FAR easier and faster. It allowed us to utilise cloud servers like EC2, Digital Ocean, and Linode without the insane costs of WP Engine and others.

It's still relatively new, and development of new features is slow, but the quality is always high, so it's usually worth the wait. More features for custom WordPress setups would be ideal. I also don't like the pricing model, as it disincentivises multiple smaller servers vs larger, shared hosting setups.

This is one of those tools that lets me forget about things and focus on my clients. SpinupWP shows up when I need it, does what I need it to do, and in such an inexpensive way!

This is exceptionally cost effective. Mix in the constant new features and updates, and the quality of the team in responding to issues is incredible. I've ended up writing about how I was able to work with them, and another SaaS to solve a problem that brought CPU usage down. The ability to link multiple providers is also fantastic. AWS, DO to name a few.

I know being critical helps a company to grow, but I am having trouble finding something to be overly critical about. I think the only real bugbear I have is that when it shows updates are needed for a site, even after I update the theme, plugin, WP itself, it doesn't update the number next to the site. It's not the end of the world, and it doesn't impact anything but me second guessing if I updated it or not!

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.

I've always been a shared hosting developer, even though I used Virtual Private Servers. SpinupWP took a bit of getting used to coming from that background, but once I spun up my first server and transferred my first site, I understood the value. SpinupWP makes it extremely easy to add, maintain, and update sites. It's beautifully designed, simple to use, quick, and bug-free.

I have had no complaints with SpinupWP. The only issues I've had were with myself - I needed to read some of their documentation to understand what it did under the hood.

Everything has worked great and they have introduced new features at a regular pace that are very useful to the function of their service.

Let's me have full control of my server while helping me maintain it and keep it secure. If you run your own server, there is a lot of configuration and setup that I personally am not comfortable doing on a production server that hosts client projects. On the other hand many of the premium hosting services out there are too restrictive for some of the things I need to be able to do.

If there has to be a con, I think it would be the availability of customer service. Although, I have not had to use the customer service much if at all, I remember when I signed up they were not available 24hrs. This is not an issue for me and I actually prefer that they keep things this way if they can as a way to keep costs down and their service inexpensive.

It has completely changed my web hosting. I used to use a large managed server provider as I was fearful of needing support as I know nothing about Linux server administration so I needed cpanel, WHM and all those tools plus support. Once I gave spinupwp.com a try, I realized I didn't need support - the ease to spin up servers, and setup sites without cpanel and all that, was so much easier. Plus their security is better, and the performance is night and day faster on spinupwp.com. Plus, I can 1 click restore a site if something goes south. No opening tickets and waiting, etc. Anytime I have had a question (like how do I not cache a specific wordpress page) they respond in less than 24 hours and I am not even on the most expensive plan as I only have 7 servers. They also are really good at helping with random questions, something as simple as how to setup a staging site. I could go on and on but in the past, I looked at hosting as a cost of doing business. Now with their platform and buying my own VPS servers, hosting costs are half what they used to be and performance is so good that now I am growing my hosting business.

The backups solution, wow. The ability to restore 1 website with 1 click, and it takes about 1 minute or so depending on the size of the website to be restored back to early morning is amazing. I also love the ability to set up a new server in 10 minutes with one click, and the ability to install new websites in a few clicks. Absolutely amazing platform and the security and the speed due to the caching methods is unlike anything you will find in the marketplace - they really don't have a competitor as far as apples to apples.

Hard to find one, but if I have to nitpick.. I can take backups, let's say 30 days. No issue there. I just wish I could also have a weekly schedule run, every 7 days. That way, sites that don't change much, I could just keep non-daily backups. It's really a nitpick item but it would be cool if I could run 2 schedules instead of just the daily.

Overall, using SpinupWP is amazing. The pricing is wonderful for what this platforms offers.

I love that I can choose my own powerful servers on Digital Ocean. And I love all the options that SpinupWP takes care of for me - caching, domain name changing, IP addresses, SFTP, etc.. It's a super powerful and fast platform.

The only drawback is sometimes I have to SSH into my server to accomplish certain tasks. However, they do offer very good documentation for everything I need to do.

I absolutely love it, and the incremental improvements have been very welcome. I hope they always keep it simple and straightforward—it's already so close to being perfect (for me) that I don't need a bunch of feature bloat or constantly redesigned UIs ;)

I've been using SpinUpWP practically since they launched because their platform solved my issues of spinning up AWS EC2 instances. It used to be a relatively time-consuming process, but with SpinUp, it really makes it as simple as a few clicks after setting up the instance. It's great to be able to manage a lot of aspects of web server management in a clean, streamlined UI that I used to have to do manually through the CLI—you can add new sites, set up SFTP users, install SSL certs, set up backups, and update plugins (though I don't update through their interface—I prefer to be a bit more hands-on to make sure things update smoothly and to keep up-to-date with changelogs). It really makes it so smooth to manage your servers. Also, the fact that server logs are integrated is a HUGE benefit—no need to SSH into your environment when you can see and manage it all in one place.

The only thing that would be nice to have is a way to manually refresh the status of my sites' updates. You can manually refresh the server status after rebooting and installing updates, but I'd love to be able to manually refresh the status of plugin updates (I love seeing the line of green checks!) I would also love to see some more server monitoring stats in the UI (i.e. the stats you see when you first SSH into the server; we already see how much storage is used, but would be great to see memory usage, system load, etc.)

My overall experience with SpinupWP is definitely great. I can't see a reason for quitting you guys. And when I heard in Porto that you were selling Migrate DB Pro and fully focussing on spinup, I was just over the moon <3

I really dig that we've finally been able to pick-and-mix the stack we wanted and needed for some of our customers. We have some crazy homemade extensions running for sites (like a mongo-db powered cart for a woocommerce site, so it can run with full page caching). No other managed host would help us out with this. Managed hosting is great, but I often find myself more knowledgeable then the people working the helpdesks, so this is a perfect setup for us.

The dashboard isn't great for a large amount of servers and sites (but I read in the recent newsletter that y'all are fixing that). I'd also love more detailed technical documentation on the installed stack and how to make changes to it; kinsta does this really well.

Very good, have had no issues and the rollout plan looks good with new features coming out every quarter.

Its simplicity but yet complex configuration. an interface that I can get to grips with quickly and easily for the needs that I might require. Spinning up a new server a breeze, creating a new site simple and effective. does the job..

sometimes support can be a bit pinnickity when they could help but choose not to because its not part of their service. Help a fella out chaps once in a while, it might be reciprocated one day!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They've taken the work out of my dev process, and freed me up to focus my efforts elsewhere. If you're comfortable running your own servers, or even if you think you want to learn more about server management, I highly recommend SpinupWP. You'll have full access to every bit of configuration--if you want it--otherwise it saves you a ton of time in manually configuring Nginx, Redis, MySQL, etc.

SpinupWP makes it far simpler to manage and setup sites on my own server/VPS. Their stock config is also super performant, and the SSH configuration is super easy to manage via the dashboard. Issuing SSL certs is built into the site setup process and is also dead simple.

If I have to pick on anything, it's the standard support, but they are very up front about what to expect. If you need more from support, they have an upgraded plan for that. But if, like me, you just need the basics and can handle managing your own WP site(s), the standard support is just peachy. So ultimately, if you go with the Personal plan, just don't be expecting someone to hold your hand through every little problem you might have with WordPress. The server setup itself is rock solid, so you're unlikely to have issues there anyway--it's always the plugins and theme you add on top of WordPress that are bound to give you fits.

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.

It takes a lot of the had work out of launching and hosting websites without taking away the control.

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.

SpinupWP allowed us to open up an extra revenue stream for our business with minimal effort.

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.

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.

Strong documentation, dashboard and tools for those who want high levels of control but to also feel supported by knowledgeable support staff when things might get tricky (if you're not an expert, know enough and want to learn more).

When we tried the cloning tool it wasn't always successful.

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.

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.

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).

Very good. The support team is responsive and helpful. Even when it's something silly that I forgot. I've bene able to grow my own hosting business and give my clients an option that I feel really good about, and that I know has their best interests in mind.

I enjoy the option to get under the hood and do whatever it is I need to on any of my servers. I can get as in the weeds (or not) that I like. And I feel "safe" doing it with SpinupWP support in my corner.

Some early growing pains, and the way you have to do site migrations for an entire server. I've already raised this feature request with the team, and I think they're working on a way to deploy a new server and move every site from an old to the new. This is important because SpinupWP recommends a fresh install when using a new version of Ubuntu.

I've saved more than $10,000 over the past 5 years hosting my own and my clients' sites with SpinupWP.

The cost is a fraction of hosting websites elsewhere with comparable performance benchmarks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A++++ would recommend. This product makes managing your web servers effortless and efficient.

SpinupWP allows us to provide a consistent, high quality, server platform for our sites. It standardizes our process with industry best practices. Applying OS patches and sending reminders to reboot servers is extremely handy. Being able to see a dashboard of all of our sites (100+) across multiple servers and the status of all of them is extremely helpful. Even tasks like upgrading PHP versions (7.4 -> 8.0 -> 8.1) is really streamlined in this platform and has helped us ensure that our sites are up to date whenever possible.

A very small complaint is the pagination of the sites interface becomes cumbersome for some of our large instances that have many many micro sites runnning on them (i.e. 50+). It would be ideal to be able to override the pagination.
