Unlike RunCloud, we include everything in the one price.
No limits on WordPress staging instances. No need to pay extra for standard features like WordPress one-click auto login.
Simply select WordPress as you add the site to your server, and our system will install the latest version of WordPress for you. Unlimited staging instances, plus one-click login to WordPress admin on all plans.
Our 24x7 support team of server admin specialists are always available to help you, including with WordPress troubleshooting.
Unlike RunCloud, we include email hosting. You can host email accounts on your WP Bolt server at no extra charge.
We don't force you to do your own complicated DNS setup. It's automatically set up when you add a site on WP Bolt.
All prices listed are in US Dollars and exclude any applicable VAT/GST which will be added during the checkout process.
RunCloud is only the software to manage the server, and you’ll need to set up an account with a VPS provider and manage that separate billing relationship, as well as pay RunCloud’s monthly fee of $8-$45 per month.
On the other hand, WP Bolt comes with “batteries included”. Just signup, and get started. No need to manage two billing relationships.
WP Bolt allows you to add unlimited team members to your account to manage your sites and servers. You can also deploy a staging site for each WordPress site that you host on your server.
RunCloud restricts it to just 1 Staging site on their Basic plan, 10 on their Pro plan. For multiple users to be able to access your RunCloud account, they restrict this functionality to their Business plan, which is $45 per month.
RunCloud charges a fee for their software between $8-45 per month, and then you still need to pay separately to your chosen VPS hosting provider for the actual server.
WP Bolt makes it easy. One bill, one provider, all-inclusive pricing. No restrictions on the features that you can use depending on the plan size that you pick.
RunCloud doesn’t allow you to receive email at the domains that you host on servers that you manage with their software. You’ll need to go separately to a third-party service like Google Workspace, Office 365 or Fastmail to get email hosting. This means a third provider to pay separately, and a third billing relationship to manage (RunCloud, VPS hosting provider and Email hosting provider)
WP Bolt, on the other hand, allows you to host your company’s email with us at no extra charge. Removing yet another headache of managing different relationships for different services.
RunCloud doesn’t include DNS hosting. You have to manually configure it with your chosen VPS hosting provider, or find a third-party DNS hosting service.
WP Bolt automatically configures DNS hosting for your domain as you add it to your account, and allows you to manage your DNS records from inside your WP Bolt account.
If you’re looking for a RunCloud alternative, we hope you can see now that WP Bolt is a great option for you. Check out our plans and sign up today.
