Experiences with serverpilot.io

Never use serverpilot. They are installing malwares and misusing server resources. I have personally faced many issues…they are stealing DB also

i have been using serverpilot for about one and half month. it’s easy for non-techie guy as well. it’s very stable too until today,all of my sites are suddenly down at the same time due to mysql databse problems. i actually did nothing, don’t know if it’s the system updating to new version of phpmyadmin i will update this post later.

I was looking to get off shared hosting, but did not want to deal with a ton of command lines and tutorials that are all slightly different as I learn what to do.

Server Pilot was much easier than I thought it would be. I spent some time watching the couple of youtube videos posted and read through some of the tutorials to get an idea of where I was headed. Everything was easy.

The first wp site I brought over was example1.com/blog and that went smoothly into example1.com/blog. Next up example2.com, obviously smooth. And then I went from example3.com/wp to example3.com.

On a windows machine I used putty for the initial install and filezilla for all the file transfers. phpmyadmin was easy enough to copy over and use. After the first go through, it took me about 5 minutes to transfer (minus the moving of files) the 2nd website over.

Hint: Using cloudflare upfront did not work out very well. I could not flush my DNS through router reset (Edgerouter Lite), flushdns or emptying the DNS in chrome. Eventually went to DO nameservers and it worked.

Next up is moving my business website over as that’s why I was playing around with these little sites, to experiment. They should offer the logging for $1/month or something to capture those of us who probably won’t pay for this, but want to send some money over. Should be more inline with pricing of ($5) DO droplets.
