SpinupWP

# About SpinupWP

SpinupWP is a server management service specifically designed for WordPress. It connects to your own cloud provider account (DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, AWS, Google Cloud) and configures a server stack optimized for WordPress. It was created by the team behind WP Migrate DB Pro (Delicious Brains).

It sits in the middle ground between a system administrator and a managed WordPress host. You get a control panel to manage your servers and sites, but you are still ultimately responsible for the underlying infrastructure account.

# What SpinupWP does well

• WordPress Optimization: The stack is tuned specifically for WordPress performance (Nginx, PHP-FPM, Redis).
• Developer Tools: Includes features like site cloning, staging environments, and WP-CLI support.
• Cost: Can be cheaper than fully managed hosting if you are comfortable managing the server relationship yourself.

# Why fortrabbit

Responsibility: With SpinupWP, you have two vendors: SpinupWP for the control panel and your cloud provider for the infrastructure. If the server goes down, it's often on you to figure out why. fortrabbit is a single service that takes full responsibility for the platform uptime and support.

App hosting: fortrabbit is not just for WordPress. It's a general purpose PHP platform. While we love WordPress, our architecture is built around the App concept, allowing for diverse PHP workloads including Laravel, Craft CMS, and custom code.

Pricing: SpinupWP charges a monthly fee plus you pay your cloud provider. fortrabbit has simple, all-inclusive pricing per App.

Human support: We provide direct support for the entire stack. You don't need to debug whether it's a control panel issue or a server issue.

# When to choose what

# Migration considerations

Moving from SpinupWP to fortrabbit means moving from a VPS-based setup to a PaaS. You'll likely find the deployment workflow on fortrabbit more streamlined for development, while still retaining the ability to use SFTP/SSH.
