WordPress servers that run themselves.

Yes. New accounts can try Rabbitflare free for 3 days, with no card needed: one Starter server on DigitalOcean or Vultr, plus any servers of your own, with every feature of the panel. Keep it whenever you're ready for $12 a month and it carries on exactly as it is. If you don't, it's paused when the trial ends and deleted two days later, and you're never charged. Larger plans, Hetzner and Rabbitflare Edge are open as soon as you pay for a server.

We build and look after the server: nginx, PHP, MariaDB, Redis, SSL certificates, the firewall, security updates and backups. You look after WordPress itself (your themes, plugins and content) from WP Admin and the Rabbitflare panel.

As many as its resources allow; there's no limit on the number of sites. Each site runs as its own Linux user with its own PHP pool and database, so sites stay isolated from each other. Traffic is unlimited on DigitalOcean, Vultr and Hetzner servers. Rabbitflare Edge plans include a set amount of data transfer each month, and extra is charged per GB. You can resize up at any time if your sites need more power.

About five minutes. As soon as you create a server (free on the 3-day trial, or once your first payment goes through), we build it, install and tune the stack, install WordPress and issue its SSL certificate. Your WordPress admin login is waiting in the panel when it's done.

By credit or debit card (including Apple Pay and Google Pay) right on our site, or with PayPal, and you can add funds to your wallet ahead of time. Each server is billed monthly, and its price depends on its cloud, size and location, from $12 a month. Rabbitflare Edge servers are paid by card, and data transfer beyond what their plan includes is charged per GB. Servers you already have are $3.50 a month in total, however many you connect. There are no setup fees, and new accounts can try it free for 3 days first, with no card.

A balance you top up by card ahead of time. It pays your server bills, domains and Rabbitflare Backup before your card is charged, and its funds never expire (they can't be refunded or withdrawn). Your first single top-up of $100 or more also gives you one domain free for its first year: any name whose first year costs $20 or less.

Resize a server to a larger plan in a click; sites are offline for a few minutes while it restarts. Card payments are prorated for the rest of the month, and PayPal asks you to approve the new price. To cancel, destroy the server and its billing stops. There's no contract.

Root access is reserved for our automation, which is how we keep every server secure and consistent. You manage files with the built-in file manager, run WP-CLI through cron jobs, and handle everything else in WP Admin. If you need SFTP or database access for a migration, contact support.

On the cloud and in the location you choose when you create the server: DigitalOcean has 11 datacenters in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, Vultr has 32 locations across North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, Hetzner has 3 locations in Germany and Finland, and Rabbitflare Edge has 17 locations on Amazon EC2 in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

All four run the same Rabbitflare stack and panel. DigitalOcean and Vultr share the same plans and prices: Vultr's plans come with more disk and bandwidth and reach more places (32 locations, including Tokyo, Seoul, Mumbai, São Paulo and Johannesburg), while DigitalOcean offers 11 datacenters in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Hetzner has its own plans, with the most memory and disk for the money, 20 TB of transfer and daily backups, in Germany and Finland: a great fit when most of your visitors are in Europe. Rabbitflare Edge is our own cloud on Amazon EC2, in 17 locations, with AWS Graviton processors and plans with dedicated CPUs for busy stores. Its prices depend on the location, each plan includes a set amount of data transfer a month (extra is charged per GB), it's paid by card, and its sites are protected with site backups instead of whole-server backups. If you're unsure, pick the location closest to most of your visitors.

Yes. Connect any number of servers from AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner or anywhere else, for $3.50 a month in total, with unlimited sites. Each needs a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 install with at least 1 GB of memory. You add its IP address in the panel and run one command on it, so no password is ever shared. You get the same sites, free SSL, file manager, cron jobs and graphs. Power, resizing and backups stay with your provider, the free CDN comes with Rabbitflare cloud servers, and if you disconnect a server it keeps running with its sites.

Yes. Every site starts with a free rabbitflare.link address. Add your own domain and the panel shows the DNS records to create; once they're in place we verify them and issue a free SSL certificate automatically.

Yes. Search for a name in the panel and register it, paid from your wallet or by card. Privacy protection is included, one click connects it to your site with SSL, you manage its DNS records in the panel, and it renews automatically every year so it never lapses.

Yes. Connect your Cloudflare account with an API token, and the panel shows your domains, which sites they point at and their DNS records. Add and edit records, point a domain at a site in one step, set SSL to Full (strict) and clear Cloudflare's cache, without leaving Rabbitflare.

Every site can switch on Amazon CloudFront from its CDN tab, at no extra cost. Your site's images, CSS, JavaScript and fonts are then served from the edge location nearest each visitor, out of more than 600 worldwide, while pages still come from your server, so logins, carts and forms work exactly as before. There's nothing to set up: no DNS changes, and it's ready in about 5 to 10 minutes. You can turn it off at any time.

Yes, on every plan at no extra cost. Each site can switch on a web application firewall built on ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule Set, tuned so everyday WordPress work isn't blocked. It stops attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, path traversal and hacking tools before they reach WordPress, limits password guessing on the login page, and lists every attack it stopped, so you can block or allow an address in a click. New sites start protected, and you can switch a site to Monitor or off at any time.

Yes. Every site can have a staging copy, free on every plan: a private copy of the site on the same server, with its own address, password protected and kept out of search engines, with its emails held and scheduled tasks paused. Try updates and changes there, then push the code, the database and media, or everything to the live site. Each push is checked first, the live site shows a maintenance notice for a few seconds, and if it wouldn't load afterwards it's put back by itself. You can also undo a push for 7 days, and refresh staging from the live site whenever you like.

In two ways. DigitalOcean, Vultr and Hetzner servers are backed up automatically: DigitalOcean servers weekly, keeping the four most recent, Vultr servers by Vultr's own automatic backups, and Hetzner servers daily, keeping the seven most recent. You can also take up to five snapshots of them whenever you like, for example before a big plugin update, and restore the whole server from any of them. On top of that, each site can have its own daily or weekly backups of its files and database, kept away from the server: in Rabbitflare Backup, private and encrypted, from $2 a site a month (with no per-site fee on Rabbitflare Edge servers), or free in storage you own, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2 or an SFTP server. Restore a whole site, or only its files or its database, in a few clicks. Rabbitflare Edge servers have no whole-server backups or snapshots, so switch on site backups for their sites. On Rabbitflare Edge, backups also count toward the server's data transfer, except those kept in Rabbitflare Backup in the same location as the server (Virginia, Frankfurt or Singapore).
