March 2026 in Review: Smarter Hosting, Better Pricing, More Control

March wasn’t just another month for FlyWP – it marked a major step forward for the platform.

We shipped a major platform update, redefined how pricing works, introduced fully managed hosting with customization, and rolled out several powerful improvements for developers and teams.

Let’s break it all down 👇

⭐ The Biggest Highlight: A New Era of Hosting with FlyWP

🧩 Customizable Managed Hosting (Now Live)

We’ve completely reimagined managed hosting on FlyWP.

You can now deploy and manage cloud servers directly from FlyWP, with the flexibility developers love and the simplicity everyone needs.

What’s new?

  • Choose your preferred provider:
    • DigitalOcean
    • Vultr
    • Akamai
  • Configure your own server stack
  • Maintain full control while we handle the infrastructure

The real game-changer:

👉 No more separate billing

  • One payment = Server + FlyWP Control Panel
  • No need to buy FlyWP separately
  • Everything is managed in one place with an unbeatable price

What FlyWP handles for you:

  • Server provisioning
  • Environment setup & optimization
  • Control panel management
  • Integrations

What you get:

  • Fully managed server
  • Full access to all FlyWP features (except add-ons)
  • A simplified, all-in-one hosting experience

💡 Why this matters: This brings together the best of both worlds – control + convenience, without the usual complexity.

💸 Smarter Pricing: Pay Only for What You Use (Self–Managed)

We’ve replaced our old tier-based plans with a usage-based pricing model for self-managed servers.

Key improvements:

  • No feature restrictions (except add-ons)
  • Unlimited websites on all plans
  • Pay only for the servers you use
  • Automatic volume discounts as you scale

Even if you’re running a single small server, you now get access to:

  • Backups
  • Team collaboration
  • All core FlyWP features

💡 Why this matters: No more overpaying for unused capacity or being locked behind plans. You scale freely – and pay fairly.

⚙️ Platform Improvements & New Features

Alongside the major update, we shipped several highly requested features and enhancements.

PHP 8.5 & 8.4 Support:

  • PHP 8.5 for Nginx
  • PHP 8.4 for OpenLiteSpeed (OLS)
PHP 8.5 for NGINX & PHP 8.4 for OLS – Now Available

This ensures:

  • Better performance
  • Improved compatibility
  • Access to the latest PHP improvements

Git Deployment for HTML Sites

You can now deploy HTML (static) sites using Git directly in FlyWP.

Perfect for:

  • Static projects
  • Developer workflows
  • Faster deployments

👉 Push updates straight from your repository.

Public Directory Backup Option

More flexibility in backups:

  • Backup only wp-content (existing)
  • OR back up the entire public directory

This is especially useful for:

  • Custom setups
  • Non-standard WordPress structures
  • Mixed applications

🌿 Enhancements That Make a Difference:

We’ve improved core reliability and system behavior to ensure a smoother experience.

Cloudflare DNS Sync Improvements

  • More reliable domain synchronization
  • Better consistency when managing DNS via FlyWP

Bug Fixes

A few important fixes to keep everything running smoothly:

  • Fixed incorrect email notifications when updating account email
  • Improved backup stability by resolving pCloud upload issues

This month wasn’t just about adding features – it was about redefining FlyWP.

We focused on:

  • Giving you full control without complexity
  • Removing pricing friction
  • Creating a truly unified hosting experience
  • Supporting both developers and growing teams
