What Ploi is
Ploi is a server-management dashboard for provisioning servers, managing sites and deployments, monitoring, backups, and team collaboration. It connects with cloud providers such as DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS, Vultr, UpCloud, Scaleway, Hostinger, and Linode, and can also work with a server you bring yourself. GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket integrations can launch deployments when code is pushed. One-click installs are listed for Laravel, WordPress, Statamic, OctoberCMS, Craft CMS, and Nextcloud.
Ploi offers web, Android, and iOS access, plus a REST API. Its mobile app can manage servers and sites, install websites and databases, and receive configurable push notifications. Security options include TOTP two-factor authentication, SSH key authentication, IP address lock, and team permissions. A free plan is available for up to one server, one site, and five deployments per month.
