Cloud hosting and monitoring features
Application stack
ServerPilot optimizes your server and apps for speed, security, and reliability.
Nginx and Apache
With Nginx as your public-facing web server, your apps get the speed, scalability, and security of Nginx including asynchronous request handling and Slowloris protection.
Apache runs internally on your server so WordPress and PHP sites can use
.htaccess files and mod_rewrite.
Multiple PHP versions
Apps on the same server can use different PHP versions.
The PHP FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM) automatically scales the number of PHP processes up and down based on the number of concurrent requests.
New PHP versions are installed automatically.
HTTP/3 and HTTP/2
Enable HTTP/3 with ServerPolot to improve performance for mobile browsers.
For browsers that don’t support HTTP/3, ServerPilot enables HTTP/2 which allows browsers to multiplex requests.
MySQL
The world’s most popular open source database gives you proven performance and reliability.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu is the most popular enterprise Linux distribution and provides five years of updates for each Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) release.
Monitoring
Integrated metrics dashboards with useful, actionable data.
Metrics and charts
Understand your server’s health with charts including effective memory usage, processes killed due to memory exhaustion, inode usage, network traffic, and more.
App metrics include per-app request and error rates as well as PHP process counts, PHP memory usage, and PHP slow request rates.
MySQL metrics include cache usage and slow query rates so you can easily identify any database performance issues in your apps.
Beyond averages
Truth can hide behind averages. While averages are useful, charts showing maximum values allow you to identify spikes and resource limitations.
Log viewer
Easily view server and app log files without SSH’ing into servers.
Dashboard
ServerPilot allows you to easily manage servers from any cloud provider through one simple interface.
Instant changes
Whether you’re creating a new app or enabling AutoSSL, every change you make in ServerPilot happens instantly on your server.
One-click Wordpress
Creating new WordPress sites has never been easier.
Easy to use
ServerPilot’s user-friendly interface makes cloud hosting easy for everyone, whether you’re new to cloud servers, a busy developer, or an experienced sysadmin.
Stay in control
ServerPilot keeps your business in control of your data and your servers.
Own your data
Unlike traditional hosting that’s sold as cloud hosting, ServerPilot doesn’t hold your data hostage. They’re your servers. ServerPilot manages them.
Root access
With ServerPilot, you keep full root access to your servers. For advanced use cases or specialty server needs, you can customize your server as required.
API
Use ServerPilot’s API to programmatically connect servers, create apps, and more.
Security
ServerPilot is built by security experts so you don’t need to be one.
Automated updates
ServerPilot keeps your server’s software up to date so you always have the latest security patches.
Firewall
From the moment you connect your server to ServerPilot, traffic to private services is blocked by an iptables firewall.
No open ports
ServerPilot doesn’t increase your server’s attack surface. No management ports are exposed and no SSH access is required. ServerPilot works with servers on VPCs and behind NATs.
App isolation
Separate system users and filesystem access control lists prevent any insecure apps or vulnerable WordPress plugins from compromising other apps on your server.
PHP processes run as unprivileged system users, keeping your sites isolated from each other.
AutoSSL
ServerPilot deploys and updates SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt. Your servers are configured to support the latest cryptographic protocols including TLS 1.3.
