Ploi

Ploi is a control panel that lets you spin up and manage servers for PHP projects without touching the command line. It works with providers like DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, and Hetzner. You can create sites, set up Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis, and mail services from a clean web interface. Ploi automates SSL certificates through Let's Encrypt, handles cron jobs, and integrates with Git for one-click deployments. The tool also supports queue workers, scheduled tasks, and environment variable management. It is built specifically for Laravel but works with any PHP framework. Teams can collaborate with role-based access. Ploi offers a free tier that covers basic needs (one server, limited sites) and paid plans for more servers, team members, and advanced features like server monitoring and backups. The company, Ploi, is based in the Netherlands and started as a side project for Laravel developers. The documentation is clear and covers API integration, server provisioning, and troubleshooting. If you manage multiple PHP sites and want to skip manual sysadmin work, Ploi is a solid choice.
