I switched from Cloudways to FlyWP and instantly cut my hosting costs by up to 50%. FlyWP comes packed with powerful features like Magic Login, Plugin Auto-Update, Backup and a built-in File Manager — all without the extra bloat. What impressed me the most is the 24/7 live chat support — the team is always ready to help. It’s a cost-effective, developer-friendly hosting solution that just works.
I have been using FlyWP for over a year, and I can safely say that the platform is top-notch. I use FlyWP to manage client websites and servers. Therefore, stability, handy features, and support are important to me. Coming from Cloudways, I now have more control over my sites and save dollars every month.
This is a very nice product. I truly loved it! Its like cloudways for a lifetime deal. Cloudways charges extra above the charges by digitalocean to provide their services like server managment. FlyWP is exactly like cloudways and it comes for a lifetime deal. You just need to simply link it with your cloud account. Thats it. If you're thinking to purchase this, then trust me you would also love it!
It’s great and it’s just the beginning! Through the years, I’ve used various hosting providers to ensure my WordPress sites are fast, secure, and easy to manage. I started with shared hosting, but quickly switched to a dedicated server (with cPanel), then managed cloud hosting (Cloudways), and now I have my own VPS that are managed with CloudPanel. I recently found FlyWP, and it seemed like the next step. Now, we can manage our servers with ease and in a cost-effective way. Backups, SSL, Cloudflare integration…I think this is a must-have for anyone who wants to quickly create WordPress sites and easily manage their VPS with ease.
I must say, FlyWP is an outstanding tool that has impressed me greatly. The transition to FlyWP from my current Cloudways setup has not only been seamless but has also resulted in a substantial reduction in my monthly bill. I highly recommend FlyWP to anyone looking for an efficient and cost-effective hosting solution.
FlyWP is the perfect solution to simplify VPS management. The process of configuring Vultr and Cloudflare to connect to FlyWP is very easy to learn. This is highly valuable, especially for those who are new to server management or for those looking for ways to streamline the process. I have planned to migrate all my sites from shared hosting to FlyWP.
I’m impressed with FlyWP! The interface is aesthetic, clear and intuitive. All functions easily accessible. With FlyWP, managing servers and WordPress websites is pure pleasure. You won’t find anything better on the market at a similar price – don’t miss this opportunity!
I like FlyWP as a good alternative for other services that are quite expensive. I don’t have much experience using VPS, but it was quite easy to deploy a couple of servers and launch a few sites using FlyWP.Of course, there are some more things I would like to see, such as more native integrations with service providers such as Hivelocity, NetCup, AlwayzOn, HostUp, and OVH. Also, adding support for Litespeed servers. And more work on patching security issues. But I do believe that the service is rather new and the team is and will be working hard to make it better. I’m glad that I bought this deal.
Moved from Serverpilot to FlyWP. After spending a few days using FlyWP I am thoroughly impressed. FlyWP’s control panel is user-friendly. It supports various cloud providers, and the platform offers full SSH access, Let’s Encrypt auto SSL, and integration with top caching plugins like Redis and Nginx, OpenLiteSpeed ensuring your sites are secure, fast, and reliable…I highly recommend FlyWP.
I recently switched to FlyWP for my managed WordPress hosting, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I’ve received. FlyWP has exceeded my expectations in every way. Their top-notch performance, reliability, and exceptional customer support make them a standout choice for managed WordPress hosting. I highly recommend FlyWP.
