CloudStick is a server control panel for developers and agencies that lets you manage cloud servers on AWS, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, and Hetzner without using the command line. Plans start at $9/month — the Basic plan covers 1 server with unlimited websites; Pro at $19/month and Business at $49/month cover unlimited servers.

Will features I pay for ever get moved to a higher plan?

No. CloudStick is committed to keeping all features you currently pay for within your existing plan. New features may be added to higher tiers, but existing plan features will never be removed or require a forced upgrade.

What happens to my servers if I cancel CloudStick?

Your servers remain fully operational after cancellation. CloudStick does not host your servers — it manages them. If you cancel, you lose access to the CloudStick dashboard, but your servers continue running on your cloud provider.

Is there a free trial for CloudStick?

Yes. CloudStick offers a 7-day free trial on all paid plans with no credit card required. You can explore every feature and upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time during or after the trial.

Can I migrate from FlyWP to CloudStick without downtime?

Yes. CloudStick's migration team handles the complete transfer from FlyWP — DNS records, SSL certificates, databases, WordPress files, and server configuration. Most customers are fully live on CloudStick within 2 hours using a zero-downtime blue-green handoff process.

I only run WordPress sites — is CloudStick overkill compared to FlyWP?

No. CloudStick has a dedicated WordPress manager with one-click installs, Magic Link admin login, template deployment, and automated updates — everything FlyWP offers. CloudStick also manages Laravel, Node.js, and PHP apps on the same server, so you are not locked into WordPress-only infrastructure.

Does CloudStick require a credit card to start?

No. CloudStick offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. You only enter payment details when you upgrade to a paid CloudStick plan starting at $9/month per server.

What happens to my servers if I cancel CloudStick?

Your servers keep running. CloudStick is a management layer, not a hosting provider. Cancel your CloudStick plan and your VPS or bare-metal server continues operating on your cloud provider — you simply lose access to the CloudStick management dashboard.

We outgrew FlyWP the moment we added a Laravel API alongside WordPress. CloudStick handled both without blinking — and for less money.
