Prior to today, if you wanted to change the primary domain of a site you had to create a new site in SpinupWP then manually copy files, update configurations, and run find and replace operations. It was painful and you, our customers, told us as much.
Today this pain disappears.
Changing the primary domain of a site in SpinupWP is now as easy as updating the domain in the site settings and clicking Save!
When you change the primary domain, SpinupWP will rename a bunch of files and folders on your server, run find and replace operations against files and your site’s database, and verify the configuration before flipping the switch. If verification fails, it rolls everything back so that your old domain continues to function while you figure out what went wrong. For a full list of all the operations performed when you change the primary domain of a site, see our documentation.
After changing the primary domain we recommend you test your site thoroughly and check any Nginx config files you might have added or customized. Also, please be aware that changing the primary domain can negatively impact SEO if the old domain is not redirected properly. Changing the primary domain will result in a short period (~1 min) of downtime while SpinupWP moves config files around, generates new HTTPS certificates and restarts Nginx and PHP-FPM.
Changing the primary domain of a site is actually a prerequisite of some of the other features on our roadmap, including site cloning and temporary domains.

Since day one of SpinupWP, you could always purge the page cache from inside your WordPress dashboard. But from time-to-time a problem might prevent you from accessing your WordPress dashboard and the solution might be to purge your page cache.
You can now purge the page cache when your WordPress dashboard is inaccessible using the handy Purge Page Cache button in the SpinupWP app.

The SpinupWP plugin adds page cache purging functionality to your WordPress site. In addition to automatically clearing the page cache for individual posts, pages, and other content when it is updated, this plugin allows you to purge the cache for the whole site as well. It also enables a persistent object cache within WordPress, which will greatly reduce the number of database calls for each page request. This plugin can be easily installed by searching “SpinupWP” inside the WordPress dashboard or, if you’re using Composer, by running:
composer require wpackagist-plugin/spinupwp

We’ve officially launched our latest product, SpinupWP! If you’re new to the SpinupWP party, then welcome. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got in store for you.
SpinupWP is an app that makes it easier to host WordPress sites yourself. Technically, you can use it to host any PHP site but we’re focused on making the WordPress experience the best.
Think of it like a modern control panel for your servers, with a ton of helpful guidance along the way, much of it specific to hosting WordPress sites.
Developers turn to SpinupWP for all sorts of reasons.
Maybe you’ve tried hosting WordPress sites on your own, maybe you’ve tried with another service like ServerPilot or Laravel Forge. But trying to keep up with hosting WordPress best practices can seem daunting and what do these services know about hosting WordPress?
With SpinupWP, you take back control and get the added bonus of knowing WordPress performance is optimized.
You can spin up your own WordPress-optimized server with SpinupWP in 10 minutes. See SpinupWP in action:
Have an existing site you want to move to SpinupWP? Our site creation wizard will guide you through setting up HTTPS before pointing your domain at the server so you can test your site before flipping the switch and making it live.
SpinupWP is packed full of useful features like:
…and more.
The biggest benefit may be how much time it saves you. Without SpinupWP, you have to type SSH command after SSH command to configure things properly for your WordPress servers. With SpinupWP, we do a lot of that for you.
SpinupWP servers are always set up with the latest stable software versions so you don’t have to worry about the nitty gritty of keeping up with best practices. Spinning up a new server automatically installs the latest software.
SpinupWP will configure your server to install security updates as soon as they are available to reduce the likelihood of a software vulnerability putting your server at risk. Disconnect from SpinupWP in the future and you can still keep your packages up-to-date with apt-get upgrade.
SpinupWP strikes the perfect balance between managed and self-hosting, giving you the advantages of both without any of the downsides. Try it out now, risk free, with our 7-day free trial.
Begin your SpinupWP journey today and spin up your first server within minutes.
