GridPane is a self-managed WordPress hosting control panel that provisions and manages servers on providers like DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, Amazon Lightsail, and UpCloud. Founded in 2018, it runs a WordPress-optimized stack (Nginx or OpenLiteSpeed, PHP, MariaDB, Redis) across multiple cloud providers. It targets agencies and developers hosting WordPress at scale. It offers a free-forever Core plan covering up to 25 sites where you pay only for your own server, and includes a control panel, backups, and staging, though not auto-scaling.
