The Ploi alternative with nothing held back
Zero-downtime deploys, backups, metrics and the whole team, from the first server.
What you get moving from Ploi
Ploi is a PHP-first server management panel with Docker and Node support. Serversinc runs every application as a container on servers you own.
One plan, every feature
Rollouts, backups, insights, the API and MCP all come with the base price.
Anything in a container
PHP, Node, Go, Python and off-the-shelf images deploy the same way.
Rollback on a failed check
Traffic stays on the old container until the new one passes its health check.
Databases and volumes
Scheduled backups to S3, R2, B2 or Spaces, with retention and locks.
Up to ten members
Invite the team on the base plan. No seat charge.
No per-plan rate tiers
The same REST API and MCP server on every plan.
The bill, side by side
Ploi has a free plan for one server and one site. Basic is €8 a month for five servers, Pro is €13 for ten, and Unlimited is €30.
