Ploi vs Serversinc
Ploi is a server panel built around PHP sites. Serversinc runs every app as a container and puts every feature on the base plan.

What Ploi is, and what Serversinc is
Both get your apps running. Here is how each one does it.
Ploi provisions and manages servers for PHP, Laravel, Node.js and Docker, with one-click installs for WordPress and other CMSs. Plans run from free to €30 a month, and features such as zero-downtime deploys, backups and team management unlock on higher tiers.
Serversinc runs each application as a container on servers you own, with health-checked rollouts, databases, backups and alerts on every plan. You pay £5 a month for your first three servers and £2 for each after.
