"Flexible hosting with a great UI and awesome documentation"
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

Very polished UI, logical defaults and best of all, detailed and helpful technical documentation. SpinupWP is giving me the confidence to sysadmin more and more of my own WordPress hosting. All the big managed hosting players are charging an arm and leg for storage, bandwidth and visitors. With SpinupWP, I can choose the server size that fits my needs and only pay for what I actually need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

The only thing keeping me from onboarding more client sites is the lack of a site-specific access role. I can assign additional users to each server with various levels of access, but cannot assign a user that has access to only a single site. Being able to do that would allow me to provide clients with access to the polished SpinupWP UI for managing backups and FTP access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful hosting tool that just works."
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

It feels like Laravel Forge but with a lot more empathy for the user. It's so easy to get setup and then manage because they have so much in context helps and documentation. It makes being responsible for your own server very manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

The dislike isn't specifically with SpinupWP but with the fact that you are taking on the responsibility of managing your own server and that feeling of "what if?". However, the traditional structures for managing security are available to you and security updates are automatically applied by SpinupWP. Regular backups and managing multiple environments also helps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Affordable, Effective. Does what it says on the Tin!"
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

Although I have only been a SpinupWP user for around 6 months it really has been a joy to use. Great UI/UX with nice intuitive feedback. It handles the common WP management and deployment tasks well. Good documentation - I have only had to reach out once for additional support. And price - For the time it has saved me it's worth every penny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

There is not a great deal to dislike. After researching the product to understand it's capability pre-purchase, I have not felt that it under delivered at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best WordPress instance management system I've found so far"
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

The biggest advantage I've seen with SpinupWP is its ability to manage server resources to quickly and efficiently serve WordPress sites. After testing multiple management panel options, SpinupWP is the most robust and offers an excellent price-performance ratio. Furthermore, installing the system on the server and launching or migrating new instances between servers is very simple.

Also noteworthy is the prompt and qualified response from the support team. Currently, this is the system on which we base our customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

There are basic and recurring adjustments, such as adjusting the memory level for each instance, which must be done via SSH. Managing between instances and databases can be very tedious as you scale.

However, I think these are minor issues that will be improved soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SpinUp has been a saviour to me"
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

As a "still learning" user of webhosting I've been through multiple different providers and consultants which have cost an arm and a leg. I've used SpinupWP multiple times since I moved to my own dedicated server on DigitalOcean. If ever I mess the server up, it's a simple website visit, chatbot and in less than 30 minutes, they sorted the issue out, returning my server to a useable state. Not only do they do a quick fix, but the team there will also go out of their way to explain what went wrong and how I can prevent that in the future, even giving suggestions of different ways to go about these tasks. If you are someone like me that wants to learn as well as knowing you have the support to get things back in place when they go wrong, then I can't recommend SpinupWP enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

The only thing I've found to slightly dislike is the articles around some of the terminology, but that's just because I didn't understand that at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SpinupWP makes managing dozens of WordPress sites on my own servers surprisingly easy and efficient."
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

One of the most helpful aspects of SpinupWP is how it centralizes everything I need to manage WordPress sites across multiple servers. I can easily keep track of which sites have outdated plugins or core versions, run updates, and manage backups—all from a single dashboard.

The UI is also incredibly intuitive. Even with 20+ sites, it's easy to navigate and doesn’t feel cluttered or overwhelming. I also appreciate how seamlessly it integrates with my existing backup storage solutions, like S3, which makes my overall workflow much smoother. I only really ever have to go in there once a week just to keep an eye on things, and rarely, if ever, do I need to do anything.

Spinning up a new server is quick and painless, and the docs are excellent—detailed, easy to follow, and have so far answered every weird question I’ve had without needing to reach out to support. Questions I was sure would not already have an answer. Major points for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

There have been a few times where I had issues setting up a new site (certbot failure), but retrying usually fixes it. It would be less annoying if it failed faster, but sitting through it setting up the DB, and everything first before finding out the cert won't take is annoying. It is a very MINOR frustration mind you.

One thing I'd put on a wishlist would be some type of built-in staging or development workflow. Something that would allow me to preview changes for clients and then push them live. Right now, that has to be handled manually.

Additionally, the upsell for advanced monitoring feels a bit wrong. It feels like an artificial tier thrown in there for the sake of an upsell. I suppose there are some people (like myself) that are willing to live without it in order to save a couple bucks.

While SpinupWP is excellent for developers and technically-minded agencies, I would hesitate to recommend it to beginners or designers (no offense). Without some server knowledge, the platform could be confusing. For its target audience, however, that’s not really a downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes managing client sites/servers a breeze!"
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

SpinupWP has made managing my client's websites and respective servers a breeze. They have an active support system and community and are always growing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

Nothing thus far. I have ideas for features but those aren't negatives, rather ways to grow! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes WP Management easy, affordable and scalable."
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

it makes all the parts I hate easy. I push a button and fixes file permissions in my folders. I push a button and it updates linux packages or restarts nginx. I push a few buttons and a new site is spun up. It sets up SSL certs and optimizes server and db configs for me.

When I had a bit of trouble with the redis cache, the customer support responded quickly and helped me solve my issue quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

Nothing really!! SpinupWP is a great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review from a dev: just awesome and simple. Try it out."
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

Had great support so far - our server had file permission and DNS issues and Spinup answered in a matter of a few minutes and kept giving us quick email replies.

Note that I went from Serverpilot, to RunCloud and SpinupWP and technically speaking, SpinupWP has been the most lean with quick security updates, with great recommendations and documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

A bit of experience in servers/Linux is recommended, as I'd recommend to anyone using a server management panel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great service for vets of WordPress"
What do you like best about SpinupWP?

I like that it only does the minimum amount of stuff that I would expect a managed host to do and otherwise be light on opinions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpinupWP?

There's a couple small things about the UI that I would improve, but they are minor. I feel like the credits you get from the hosting providers like digital ocean and vulture are misleading but that's not really spinup's fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brad Touesnard of SpinupWP

Thanks for the very nice review Ian! 🙂

If you haven't already, I'd love it if you sent us an email or a post in the community with the small things you'd like to see improved with the UI. -Brad
