LaunchWP

LaunchWP is for WordPress site owners, developers, freelancers, and agencies who want to run sites on their own VPS or cloud server without handling every setup and maintenance task from the command line. It connects to a compatible server over SSH and provides a dashboard for installing and managing WordPress sites. LaunchWP is a control panel, not a hosting provider, so you supply the server; the service requires an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS environment. The managed stack uses Docker containers to isolate sites, with NGINX, MariaDB, and Redis. From the dashboard, you can manage SSL, change PHP versions, configure caching, edit NGINX and PHP settings, and access site files through SFTP or databases through phpMyAdmin. LaunchWP also supports backups stored off-server, staging copies for testing and syncing changes, and sharing server and site access with team members. It may suit people who want more control over their WordPress hosting than a conventional managed host provides, while using a dashboard for routine server and site management. You’ll still need to choose and pay for a compatible VPS or cloud server.
