A few months ago, I started looking for a new hosting solution for WordPress that could meet the demands of this new phase in my career, where I’m focused on developing sites with Voxel and WordPress. After 17 years working as a no-code designer and developer, since my first contact with WordPress, it’s the first time I feel that no-code solutions are truly reaching the level of projects that were previously only possible with customized solutions.
This is not to undermine WordPress or the older template and hosting solutions, which were fundamental partners throughout this journey. But with the new possibilities that have emerged with Voxel, I’m confident that I’ve found the best hosting solution currently available for WordPress. And it’s precisely this hosting solution that I want to share with you, explaining the reasons behind my choice of FlyWP and how it can transform your workflow.
FlyWP is built on simplicity with a modern design and features designed to optimize the workflow of WordPress developers seeking high-performance solutions. Below is the conceptual screen of FlyWP:
I also included the screenshot above to emphasize what FlyWP aims to be:
“A Docker-powered WordPress server management platform for any cloud provider.” This was the key factor in my decision to choose FlyWP. I was looking for a managed panel that offered the features FlyWP provides (team management, automated backups, one-click restore, high-performance stacks, robust security, bulk updates, magic login, Git deployment). Additionally, I wanted a solution that wasn’t tied to specific servers, meaning I could directly choose any cloud provider. For example, Hetzner offers high-performance machines at a cost that makes more sense for us no-code developers, who often prefer visual-managed panel solutions like FlyWP instead of connecting directly via SSH. At the same time, we’re not necessarily looking for all-in-one solutions like Cloudways, which can come at a higher cost.
The truth is that FlyWP gave me the same feeling Voxel did: it’s the hosting solution that feels like it was created straight from my thoughts—or maybe it’s because I’ve dreamed for so long about having a solution like FlyWP.
But yeah, it really is an amazing solution, and I must admit, if they start thinking about including features like what LocalWP offers, it would be incredible. I started imagining FlyWP with an icon installed on my desktop, where with just one click, I could sync my sites with the server. That’s when I think they could really take things to the next level. To be honest, I still believe that WordPress development solutions, especially those covering the workflow from localhost to live, have a lot of room for improvement by simplifying the no-code developer’s workflow even further.
Another feature that I think would be incredible if it ever got included in a service package like FlyWP offers—and I think it’s very relevant—would be a tool to manage and install PWAs (Progressive Web Apps). Something similar to what Progressier does, but already built-in. Wouldn’t that be a game-changer?
Below other testmonial from a FlyWP user, that I read on TrustPilot:
“This is exactly what i needed to launch my web design agency. I had issues building my personal site via a local environment. This solves some of those issues using a remote environment instead. This app will make the process of building sites much more manageable, plus it has a clean interface. Folders are needed for the servers and sites, and support can be a bit slow at times, but overall, this app is extremely valuable.”
And he’s not wrong; the support can be a bit slow—it might take a day to reply to a ticket—but they are always kind and provide good assistance.
When it comes to hosting solutions, I feel like I’ve tested almost all of the most popular ones. As a no-code developer, I’ve always sought managed panel solutions. Since 2016, I’ve used CloudWays, but I was looking for a new platform that would follow market trends—both in technology and design, as well as features. I wanted something that would constantly evolve, like other services we’re used to seeing innovate regularly. In 2016, I saw that in Cloudways, but now I feel like I’ve finally found a solution capable of truly shaking up the market, which led me to migrate all my sites to FlyWP.
Below I will show some key features
During this search, I wanted to launch NoCoDesigner and other projects on a platform that met my expectations. Once again, I spent the last few months testing most of the popular managed panel services for VPS, since I haven’t used shared hosting in a long time. And when I found FlyWP, it was love at first sight 💜.
