MainWP vs. SpinupWP

MainWP is a suite of open-source self-hosted plugins and Extensions for users with multiple WordPress sites who want to control them from one central location. This includes sites on different hosts or servers. Once you have connected your sites (called Child Sites) to your Dashboard, you can do almost anything from your MainWP Dashboard that you would be able to do from your Child Sites wp-admin.

SpinupWP is a cloud app that makes it so much easier to host WordPress sites yourself. Technically, developers can use it to host any PHP site but SpinupWP is focused on making the WordPress experience the best. As one of their Twitter fans put it, SpinupWP “bridges the gap between scary self-hosting and expensive managed hosting.” Think of it like a control panel for servers, but modern & with a ton of helpful guidance along the way, much of it specific to hosting WordPress sites. Setting up and managing a server yourself can mean a lot of manual work for a developer.
