About GridPane
GridPane is a WordPress-specific server control panel aimed at serious agencies and developers who want fine-grained control over their stack. It provisions hardened LEMP servers on DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS, Hetzner, and UpCloud with security-first defaults, advanced caching (Redis, Nginx FastCGI, page cache), bot/attack mitigation, and deep WP-CLI integration. GridPane treats WordPress as the first-class citizen, unlike generic panels.
