GridPane Reviews & Product Details

GridPane obstructs the way I manage my WordPress sites. The user interface is needs to be sleek and intuitive but now it is difficult to navigate and set up for someone, like me who does not have technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the diadvantages is how slowly servers are deployed and integrated with hosting providers. The control panel needs to provide an abundance of features that does not allow me to optimize performance decrease security and scale my websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. If I were to create a managed hosting company, I would do it just like GridPane. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It just works. Once you spin up a server and install GridPane, provisioning a new WordPress installation only takes a few clicks. Managing your servers and websites is just as easy. As someone who has tried most of the big managed providers, I can confidently say that GridPane has the advantage over all of them in terms of price, performance, and profitability for my business.

I really don't have any complaints. I would like to see a more modern UI and a better notification system. The UI is a bit dated, but it does the job. Notifications are hard to follow, especially when there are several actions firing at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont know where to start, but I'll try. Gridpane is the most efficiënt and value for money platform for wordpress hosting. The Gridpane team is insanely skilled and super helpful. The platform offers a plan for everyone, developer, developer plus or agency. The also have a free plan. But the beauty of it all is that it is very easy to spawn a server and a site. There are a ton of features that make it impossible to get hacked. Developer plus and above come with some insane functionalities like object cache pro, fortress security and snapshot failover to make sure you have nothing to worry about. Additionally one can add 360 preemptive support. And much much more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to install Wordpress on a variety of cloud hosting platforms like Vultr or Digital Ocean. Integrated backup solutions, option to set up failover servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing hosting clients had not been that straightforward, but there are some promising steps toward these functions as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our WordPress websites hosted on servers provisioned by GridPane (LOMP stack with Percona MySQL8 and Redis Object Caching) load more quickly than all the other cloud web hosting control panels I have tried, including RunCloud, Cloudways, SpinupWP, Ploi, and ServerPilot. The difference in speed performance between GridPane and other control panels is noticeable on both casual web browsing and objective testing using tools such as Pingdom Tools, GTMetrix, and Google PageSpeed Insights.

I also appreciate the user-friendliness of the GridPane user interface. Performing tasks such as provisioning a server, setting up the server stack, adding a site, and creating and restoring backups is easy and almost intuitive. Sometimes, I have needed to refer to the support documentation ("knowledge base"), e.g. when provisioning a custom virtual private server from the Google Cloud Platform. On such occasions, I have found the documentation to be top-notch. Among the cloud hosting management platforms I have tried, GridPane undoubtedly offers the best user experience, which in turn facilitates efficiency and productivity.

With plans starting from $50 per month, GridPane may be considered costly, especially if you only have a few WordPress sites. However, in my opinion, none of the alternative cloud web hosting control panels offer the same level of performance. This, coupled with the fact, GridPane has the most user-friendly interface, may justify the additional expense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even as a beginner in hosting, Gridpane makes it easy to provision and set up your servers and hosting with integrations with big names such as Digital Ocean, Vultr, and Linode for their servers as well as various CDN and SMTP integrations. They have an extensive knowledge base covering almost everything you would need. The onboarding call was outstanding. I had the pleasure of being onboarded by Steve Bell, who was fantastic. He was highly knowledgeable, patient and provided lots of valuable tips and resources. I can see myself sticking with Gridpane for a very long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There can be a steep learning curve when moving from managed hosting, but their extensive documentation makes it easy even for beginners to start. Apart from this, I have nothing to complain about whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to spin up and configure servers to run WordPress sites on a variety of cloud hosting platforms or a standalone server. The tech stack used is very well optimized, beats similarly priced managed hosting solutions that are double the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can be intimidating especially for people who arent developers but there are guides and onboarding sessions to get you up to speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the versatility the platform offers, and allows me to spin up dedicated cloud servers, without any markup. It's a phenomenal platform that has allowed us to scale without drastically increasing costs. It also allows us to offer enterprise-level services at a fraction of the cost. Their customer support is off the chain at answering questions quickly and pointing to relevant articles when needed. Some of my favorite features are the 7G firewall, one-click staging, easy ssl, cloudflare integration, easy server spin-up, and site packages to speed up deployment.

The only negative I could see is that for the average user it would feel pretty overwhelming. Unless you are confident to play around in terminal or ssh, you may want to go with a more managed solution.

If you're looking for a managed solution that doesn't involve getting into the technical details, then you should probably look elsewhere. The only other downside is that the pricing structure has changed rapidly over the last year or so, which makes it hard to recommend to others since they won't get as good as deal as I have. They have honored first customers by leaving their pricing, which is wonderful. They communicate effectively and often, and that's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
