Our Panel Plan
Our popular Panel plan includes a huge suite of tools to make hosting your websites on your own servers easier than ever. Upgrade your hosting performance, security, and overall toolset above and beyond traditional “managed” hosts, and grow your monthly recurring revenue through WordPress care plans.
Configure and Create Websites in Just a Few Clicks
GridPane allows you to configure all of the following when you create new websites so your preferred settings are all activated for you as your website is created:
- Enter your website address
- Select your preferred server from the dropdown
- Easily create a brand new system user to keep your website secure and isolated from other websites on the same server
- Configure your new WordPress websites user roles
- Install and activate themes and plugins by installing a bundle
- Select your PHP version
- Select your PHP worker settings (our default is ideal for most websites)
- Configure server page and object caching
- Activate a Web Application Firewall
- Turn on our SendGrid integration for SMTP
- Provision an SSL certificate
- Turn on our Cloudflare or DNS Made Easy API Integration
- Activate and configure local and remote backups
Simple, Highly-Effective WordPress Security Made Easy
Fundamental WordPress security is built directly into the platform, and you can easily use options like forced routing and putting each website on its own system user to keep them isolated and secure.
A+ Grade SSL Certificates
We make provisioning A+ grade SSL certificates quick and simple. Use our Cloudflare/DNSME integrations to provision wildcard SSLs.
Secure wp-config.php
We store the wp-config.php file one level up from the htdocs directory to keep it hidden and protected.
Rate Limiting
Out of the box, we rate limit requests to wp-login.php and the admin-ajax endpoint, providing simple but highly effective brute force protection.
Force Routing
Avoid common exploits with forced routing so that your website can't be exploited to redirect your visitors elsewhere.
Website Isolation
Keep your individual websites isolated and secure by creating individual system users. This ensures that if one site was ever to be compromised, it cannot cross-infect any other website.
HTTP Security Headers
We implement security headers by default to ensure security vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting and clickjacking are automatically prevented.
SFTP and SSH Only
We enforce secure server connections via SFTP and SSH only. No FTP, no exceptions.
Firewalls
New websites will always be provisioned on an up-to-date version of PHP – unless you go out of your way and manually make it otherwise.
Secure WordPress Users
Newly created websites have strong passwords by default. You also have the ability to set your own default username.
Disable XML-RPC in One-Click
XML RPC is an old, outdated, and insecure method of remotely posting to your WordPress website. If you’re not using it, you should disable it completely.
Block PHP Execution Outside WordPress Loop
We already block PHP execution from wp-content/uploads/* by default, and you can further dramatically increase your websites security by enabling this hardening measure.
Block Enumeration, Scraping, and More
Additional measures include disabling username enumeration, disabling emojis and RSS, hiding your WordPress version, and blocking trackbacks, OPML linking, upgrade.php, install.php, load-scripts concatenation, and comments.
Optimized Hosting Platform
Nginx/OpenLiteSpeed, PHP, and MySQL are all configured with ideal defaults for almost all WordPress websites out of the box. You’ll have full control to tweak your PHP INI, PHP worker, and MySQL settings if ever needed.
High Performance Nginx
Our Nginx stack is extremely performant, offers two page caching mechanisms, and is highly customizable.
Tuned OpenLiteSpeed
If you’re transitioning from Apache servers, OpenLiteSpeed will be familiar in function but with dramatic performance benefits.
Optimized MySQL
GridPane offers two highly-performant database options: MariaDB and Percona. Both are tuned for great performance by default.
Page Caching
Both our stacks offer high-performance server level page caching. Once a page is loaded your server creates a static version of it, which can then be loaded much faster the next time someone visits that page. No PHP or database requests required.
Redis Object Caching
Cache your database for ultra-fast dynamic page loading and server resource preservation. This is extremely powerful or WooCommerce, LMS sites, BuddyBoss, and more.
Browser Caching
Take advantage of browser caching with our properly configured caching headers and have your visitors browsers store static files like CSS, JS, fonts, images, etc, so new page loads are near instant.
Configure Local and Remote Backups
Good backups are like insurance… if insurance covered everything, cost practically nothing, and always paid out. They are the single most cost effective investment in your online presence that you will ever make.
Fully Configurable
You choose how frequently to back things up, all the way up to every hour. Who can afford to lose an entire day worth of work or data? Not the kind of WordPress pros that we built this for.
Local and Remote Backups
Backup your websites hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly directly on your server and to any or all of our supported third-party providers we integrate with.
Encrypted and Deduplicated
Our backups are extremely space-efficient and secure.

Q&A
Our Panel plan lifetime deal includes lifetime access to all Panel features and support.
Servers are not included, so your server costs will not be included in this deal pricing.
Servers can be purchased directly from providers like Vultr, DigitalOcean, UpCloud, etc at cost, which is very inexpensive.
GridPane doesn’t offer Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – and by this, we mean the physical servers where your websites are hosted.
We provide a control panel that lets you connect to the best server providers in the world, in any data center you choose. You own your servers and get them at astonishingly low prices directly – we add no mark up to the server you use.
You can pick companies like DigitalOcean, Vultr, UpCloud, and Linode, or you can bring your own server from almost any other provider and connect to them via our custom server option.
As everyone’s websites are different, with different traffic, plugins, themes, admin usage, etc, this is impossible to answer.
However, a good rule of thumb if we’re talking solely about fully cached brochure websites is 7-10 sites per 1GB of RAM. This means you can host roughly 15-20 websites on a 2GB RAM server, and 30-40 on a 4GB RAM server.

The only limits you have on traffic are the ones imposed by the bandwidth limits of your chosen provider.
We never restrict or throttle your visitors and so long as your accounts with your hosting providers stay at or below their established bandwidth limits, you’ll never have to pay overages for too much traffic. All of our default providers have plans that can support many hundreds of thousands, even millions of monthly visitors, for as little as $5/month.
Yes, these are your servers and you will have full root access to them.
