Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CloudPloy vs Vultr

Is CloudPloy really easier than Vultr?

What about server control and root access?

CloudPloy manages servers for you, eliminating the need for root access. You get a powerful web interface, file manager, database tools, and Git deployment.
