ServerAvatar is a cloud service for hosting WordPress and other PHP websites on servers at ServerMeister, Linode, Rackspace, or anywhere else. You can think of ServerAvatar as a modern, centralized hosting control panel.
ServerAvatar does not provide servers, ServerMeister does. Instead, we make it easy to host PHP sites on your own servers. Those servers can be cloud servers, VPSes, or dedicated servers at any provider.
How You Use ServerAvatar
After you create your ServerAvatar account, your first step is to connect a server to ServerAvatar. You’ll start with a completely fresh Ubuntu server. If you’ve already installed Apache, Nginx, PHP, or MySQL, then you won’t be able to connect your server to ServerAvatar.
After completing a simple and secure form, we’ll install the ServerAvatar agent on your server. The agent keeps a secure connection open to ServerAvatar, does the actual management of your server, and sends back stats and logs.
You’ll then use ServerAvatar to create a new app for each website you want to host on your server. For each app you create, ServerAvatar will handle all of the server reconfiguration. You never need to do any configuration of Nginx, Apache, MySQL, or PHP. You can use the built-in WordPress installer or SSH/SFTP to upload your site’s files to your server.
