Hello Godbless
I came across this software which look like an amazing product to replace my Plesk server however I've encountered a few issues along my limited journey to install this application and when i finally get it working i start looking a hosting, plans, etc. When looking for WordPress, php, etc. I didn't any see applications preinstalled, etc. nothing found.
Then i found out it needs web platform which has been discontinued. I followed the instruction and added the feed to no avail so is this product fit for purpose still as a website hosting platform? and if so what are the alternative and work arounds if any to get WordPress installed. thank you in advance
Hey,
SolidCP was originally designed as a hosting control panel and provides management of services such as PHP, MySQL, IIS, Exchange and many more pieces of software. We have always focused on allowing the person deploying the software to make adjustments in settings to fit the needs of their customers.
We don't have a automated provisioning script for installing or configuring a particular stack (Such as nginx + MySQL + PHP).
We have been working for the past year on a major overhaul of the code which will be released as FuseCP.
One of our goals for this new version is to offer default deployment profiles for common environments—PHP, MySQL, IIS, and similar setups—much closer to what platforms like Plesk provide out of the box.
Regarding applications such as WordPress:
SolidCP historically relied on WebPI, which Microsoft discontinued quite some time ago.
Unfortunately, there is still no strong, modern Windows‑based replacement that offers the same simplicity and reliability.
Because of that we currently have no plans to reintroduce a application installers in SolidCP or FuseCP using a package‑maintained approach.
It’s definitely something we see value in for the future, but for now, there are several third‑party tools and services that can deploy and maintain WordPress and similar applications on Windows hosting environments without issue.
Regards,
Trevor
