RunCloud
Modern server control panel for web developers and agencies
About RunCloud
RunCloud is a cloud-based server management panel built for developers and agencies who host PHP, Laravel, and WordPress sites on their own VPS at DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, AWS, or Hetzner. It provides a clean web UI to provision NGINX or NGINX+Apache stacks, deploy apps from Git, manage databases, SSL, backups, and team permissions without touching SSH.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Clean modern UI built for multi-server agency workflows
- Provider-agnostic — works on any VPS
- Excellent PHP version management per-app
- Git deployments and staging clones work out of the box
Cons
- No email hosting — you need a separate provider like Mailgun
- Pricing scales per-server, not per-site, so sub-$15 tier is limited
- Windows Server is not supported
