=== WP Cloud Server === Contributors: Designed4Pixels Tags: server, serverpilot, digitalocean, cloud, hosting Requires at least: 4.8 Tested up to: 5.2.3 Requires PHP: 5.6 Stable tag: 1.0.2 License: GPLv3 License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html WP Cloud Server allows you to create and manage Cloud Servers using ServerPilot and DigitalOcean, and sell hosting plans using Easy Digital Downloads. == Description == WP Cloud Server allows you to manage your servers through a simple user interface. The standard version of the plugin includes two server modules. The DigitalOcean module, allows you to create servers (Droplets), either standalone with Wordress installed, or configured for use with ServerPilot. The ServerPilot module, allows WordPress websites to be created using the ServerPilot service. Both modules work together to offer a complete Shared or VPS WordPress Hosting solution. If you want to sell hosting plans to customers or clients then the plugin uses the Easy Digital Downloads plugin to create hosting plans. When you create a new Download you will have the option to select a Module and a Server. If a customer buys a hosting plan then their WordPress website will be automatically created. The status of each module as well as details of servers, apps, and websites, are all available through your WordPress Admin Dashboard. == DigitalOcean Module == The DigitalOcean module interfaces with the popular DigitalOcean Cloud Server provider. The module connects to the DigitalOcean API allowing new Droplets to be created via the WordPress Admin Dashboard. You can view a list of the servers available in your DigitalOcean account, but more importantly you can create Droplets for use by the WP Cloud Server Plugin. You can configure a Droplet to be used by ServerPilot which will be automatically connected to the ServerPilot service, so it is instantly ready to deploy WordPress sites. You can also creat VPS templates which allow you to sell Hosting Plans that automatically deploy a DigitalOcean VPS using the template selected. == ServerPilot Module == ServerPilot is a very powerful service that allows you to connect a cloud server hosted with DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, etc. ServerPilot will then install WordPress as an App on the connected server. It handles installation, server admin, and updates, etc. The WP Cloud Server plugin connects to ServerPilot via the official API. You can sell hosting plans for WordPress websites that are automatically created through ServerPilot. Details of Servers and Apps are displayed through the Admin Dashboard. == Installation == 1.
