We’re super stoked to bring SpinupWP out of beta. But we’d love to hear what you think. If you currently host WordPress yourself, is this something you would use? What feature requests or questions do you have? Ask away.

@bradt I've been using SpinupWP for a few months now, and I'm not looking back. I've been dabbling in Linux command line for quite some time, but never confident enough to setup my own server from scratch. With SpinupWP, its like having an IT department dealing with the nitty gritty, and always there to answer questions (or just be a sounding board as I solve my own problems AFTER I put in a support ticket..ha!).

great product from a great company, im currently using runcloud, i have tried spinupwp, but its for only WP Sites, and I run various of other apps like node apps which need to be routed through localhost to a port, so runcloud seemed like a better option, but I havre been considering moving my wp sites over to spinupwp, as I used the trial a few weeks back, and was very impressed. Wish we could run extra configs though on each site through nginx extra configs, other than that, its a great product, hope to see more features added!

@chrismccoy Interesting, I'm curious what kinds of extra Nginx configs you would need to run? It's on our todo list to provide some documentation about how you can customize your Nginx configs manually on the server (i.e. not through the SpinupWP app) and still be able to manage your sites/servers through SpinupWP. We have plans for the future to add certain UIs to the app that would save you from having to manually edit Nginx configs (e.g. redirects and rewrites) so knowing more use cases for editing Nginx config will help us.

@bradt one simple example would be the ability to redirect parked domains to the live site. Been struggling with this today: redirect "www.example.com" and "example.com" to "www.example.co.uk" We own both domains, but obviously one of them is just to prevent someone else from capitalizing on our brand. Docs/tutorials with this kind of example would be helpful, but things are a bit sparse in the docs right now. Redirections in the UI would be wonderful.

@guy_b Yep, that will definitely be covered by our redirections/rewrites UI. In the meantime though, you should just be able to add www.example.co.uk as an alternate domain in your SpinupWP site settings. WordPress should handle the rest. Also, if you need specific page redirects, you could use the excellent Redirection plugin.

@bradt Cheers, although just to clarify. Adding a different TLD as an alternate domain doesn't work (you can't redirect domains by using DNS records), and since the site doesn't contain WordPress the only way to redirect is by using server directives (this is just one example of a setting that would be useful in the UI), but it sounds like you already have this in the pipeline for near future.

As an agency owner, SpinupWP is about as close to a WP control panel as I could envision if I was designing it myself. I've used several alternatives - Cloudways, WP Engine, Serverpilot, Runcloud, Flywheel - and nothing matches the simplicity and speed with which I can configure and launch a new server.

Pros:

Simple, clean, straightforward, and easy to use. 100% designed for WP.

Cons:

Still a young product, more development may be necessary to compete with other established solutions depending on your needs.

Awesome review, thanks Denny. We definitely have lots on our roadmap and are very excited by some of the ideas on that list. I think some of the surprises we have in store are going to be game changers! 🙂
