Makes Server Management a Breeze

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 ;)

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.)

Vendor Response

Such a nice review Mary-Ann, thanks! 🙂 Love the nice-to-haves. All of those are on our radar and we were just recently discussing a way of manually running the server checks. Stay tuned! -Brad

Best Web Hosting Solution When Factoring in Everything

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.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Reasons for choosing SpinupWP

Ease of setting up servers, ease of installing sites, ease of backups, and the low cost of bringing my own VPS servers and using spinupWP.

Reasons for switching to SpinupWP

Cost and the performance and speed is so much better. The cost is just such a huge savings from using a large managed server provider.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the kind words Mike! I'm really glad to hear SpinupWP is working so well for you. Weekly and monthly backup scheduling is currently in development should be shipped in the next few months.

Pros:

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

Cons:

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.

Reasons for switching to SpinupWP

Thanks for your review Daniel! 🙂 Glad to hear you appreciated SpinupWP but a bummer that the cost didn't work for you. I'd love to understand how we weren't more cost effective than managed hosting for you. I'll send you an email.

Great Alternative to Shared hosting or Managing your own Server

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

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Reasons for choosing SpinupWP

SpinupWP allowed me to have more control over my server and have the same resources at a much lower price point.

Reasons for switching to SpinupWP

Need more power and flexibility. I was paying a premium price at Siteground for a shared hosting set up that I was regularly hitting the limits on. I also, was going to be adding more client projects and wanted a way to maintain them all in the same space.

The best WP/PHP server management: The Perfect Managed WordPress hosting replacement.

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.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Reasons for switching to SpinupWP

Pricing and flexibility. WP Engine doesn't offer good support for Git, and we had no control over the servers themselves. Increasing or decreasing our capacity was hard, and adding storage was very costly. We've reduced our bill by 70% per $1000 we spend. When we left WP Engine, our bill was $2000 per month, then once we migrated to SpinupWP and Linode, it dropped to ~$500 per month.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the nice review Matthew! 🙂 I agree, per-server is not ideal. We actually did change our pricing briefly to charging per-site but people found it hard to estimate their monthly cost, and so we went back to per-server. We're experimenting with other ways of incentivising keeping the number of sites per server low. -Brad

Pros:

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

Cons:

Reasons for choosing SpinupWP

It was the right combination of packaging, simplicity and price point. Also I liked Delicious Brain's style, believed it would do what it said on the box and that they would improve features over time - which they have.

Reasons for switching to SpinupWP

Cloudways support was frustrating to use, and I required more of it. We wanted more speed for our outlay. Other server management companies we'd used, where we had much less control of the infrastucture, were also not as cost effective, and invariably the services would deteriorate over time. Quality Australian data centres were getting more expensive at the time as well.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the kind words Garth! Just a heads up that I sold the Delicious Brains brand and its plugins to WP Engine last year so we're just SpinupWP now. 🙂 - Brad

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Reasons for switching to SpinupWP

They were a simple VPS and the quality of support was dropping.

Love to hear that SpinupWP has helped you level up Chris, that's so great! 🙂 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
