What is ServerPilot?

ServerPilot simplifies hosting by managing your servers at any cloud provider. Whether you’re using Google Cloud, AWS, DigitalOcean, or any other server provider, ServerPilot handles the server management so you can focus on development.

How ServerPilot works

When you connect a server to ServerPilot, our automated systems configure your server for fast, secure, reliable hosting. In ServerPilot’s dashboard, you can create apps, manage settings, and monitor your servers and apps.

  • Software Installation – ServerPilot installs all of the software your server needs, including Nginx, Apache, MySQL, and multiple versions of PHP.
  • Firewall Configuration – ServerPilot secures your server with an iptables firewall.
  • Automatic Updates – ServerPilot keeps your server’s packages updated.
  • AutoSSL – ServerPilot deploys and updates free SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt.
  • Monitoring – ServerPilot provides monitoring and stats for your servers and apps.

Hosting that protects your business

Unlike traditional hosting where the servers don’t belong to you, with ServerPilot you retain ownership of your data and have full access to your servers. Your servers belong to you and stay in your account at your preferred cloud provider. You can directly use your cloud provider’s features such as automated backups.

Hosting that empowers your developers

For developers that are comfortable at the command line, the full power of Linux and command line tools are available for development and deployment. You have full root access to your servers and can customize your server and install any additional software you need.

Usage-based pricing

ServerPilot’s billing is usage-based just like your cloud provider’s billing. Hourly usage costs for a server begin accruing when you connect a server to ServerPilot and stop accruing when you delete the server from ServerPilot. Hourly usage costs for an app begin accruing when you create an app in ServerPilot and stop accruing when you delete the app from ServerPilot.

There is no price increase when you increase vCPUs or memory at your server provider. When you increase a server’s resources at your cloud provider, your additional costs are the true cost of resources from your provider.

No hidden fees or request limits

A common tactic used by “cloud hosting” companies is to restrict the number of monthly requests your sites can receive. Even if your sites are very resource-efficient and you aren’t using all of the CPU and memory you pay for, you’re forced to pay more as your sites receive more requests.

With ServerPilot, there are no hidden fees. The amount of traffic your server can receive is only limited by your application’s resource needs and your server’s available resources.
