A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

Easier to use than Ploi with better WordPress site cloning, though backups can be finicky and some backup destinations require the top-tier plan.

They used RunCloud in the past for managing agency sites and liked it overall. Support was quick and everything worked almost perfectly.

Runs around 100 WordPress sites on RunCloud with DigitalOcean, Linode and Hetzner servers, with far less bloat than WHM/cPanel, easy and robust backups, and pretty decent support.

They left ServerPilot about 4 years ago for RunCloud while managing over 50 WordPress sites, and found it excellent with very quick support and steady improvements.

Handles automatic security updates, locks down root login easily, and support resolved an SSL renewal hiccup in about 30 minutes.
