Every feature you need to host anything
From a simple WordPress blog to a multi-app production stack — Simplewala has the tools built in, configured correctly, and ready to go.
Platform
Managed cloud servers
Dedicated cloud VMs with root access on DigitalOcean or Hetzner. Pick your region, RAM, CPU, and disk — resize any time.
SSH access
Full shell access with your own SSH keys. Use our portal or connect directly — both are always available.
Built-in observability
CPU, RAM, disk I/O, and network charted live via VictoriaMetrics. Node and endpoint health checks via Blackbox Exporter.
Alerts
Get notified by email when CPU spikes, disk fills up, or a service goes down.
Firewall management
UFW-based firewall managed from the portal. Open or close ports in seconds, never from the command line.
Fail2ban
Brute-force protection enabled by default. Bans repeat offenders across SSH, mail, and web services.
Teams & organizations
Invite team members to your organization. Role-based access lets the right people manage the right resources.
Multi-provider
Provision servers on DigitalOcean or Hetzner from a single portal. Mix and match regions and providers as needed.
Applications & deployments
Deploy from Git, Docker, or one-click installs. Bring your own containers or use ours.
WordPress
One-click install with Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, WP-CLI, and auto SSL. Full root access to customise anything.
Node.js
Run Node.js apps with PM2 process management, zero-downtime restarts, and log streaming.
Git app deployments
Connect a GitHub or GitLab repo and deploy automatically on push. Configure build commands, env vars, and a domain.
Docker & Compose
Full Docker support with Compose. Bring your own containers and deploy them through the portal or from a private registry.
Container registries
Connect Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, or any private registry. Pull images securely when deploying apps.
Bare services
Install and manage Nginx, PHP, Node.js, Python, and other runtime services directly — without a full app wrapper.
Databases
Seven database engines, all installed in one click. Data stored on persistent block storage by default.
MySQL & MariaDB
Managed MySQL and MariaDB instances with remote access control, version switching, and external TCP access via Front Door.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL with SSL support, remote access, version selection, and optional external TCP access.
Redis
Redis for session storage, caching, and queues. Installed in one click and accessible across your app containers.
MongoDB
MongoDB deployed in a container with admin credentials, remote access toggle, and optional external TCP proxy.
Kafka
Apache Kafka in KRaft mode (no ZooKeeper). Single-node broker ready for event streaming workloads.
Memcached
Lightweight Memcached instance for high-performance in-memory caching alongside your apps.
Developer tools
Secrets, Git deployments, stack export, and a full REST API to automate anything.
Secrets management
Store environment variables and secrets in Infisical. Secrets are injected into your apps at deploy time — never stored in code.
Git deployments
Connect GitHub or GitLab and deploy on push. Build logs stream live in the portal. Failed deploys roll back automatically.
Stack export & import
Export your full server configuration as a portable stack file. Import it to spin up an identical environment on a new server.
REST API
Every portal action is available via API. Automate provisioning, deployments, and configuration from your own CI/CD pipeline.
Front Door & networking
A built-in reverse proxy that handles SSL, routing, TCP, and traffic — no separate load balancer needed.
Front Door proxy
Built-in Nginx reverse proxy with automatic SSL via Let’s Encrypt for every domain you add.
Path routing
Route different URL paths to different backend ports or services on the same server.
TCP database proxy
Expose any database engine externally over a secure TCP port via the Nginx stream module — no separate tunnel required.
Traffic analytics
Request counts, bandwidth, and top URLs — visible in the portal without third-party tools.
Custom headers
Set HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and other security headers from the Front Door config.
Automated SSL
Let’s Encrypt certificates provisioned and renewed automatically for every route you add.
Email hosting
A complete outbound and inbound mail stack — DKIM, SPF, DMARC, and webmail included.
Full mail server
Postfix + Dovecot email stack with IMAP, SMTP, and webmail included.
DKIM & SPF
DKIM signing and SPF records configured automatically. Your outbound mail passes authentication out of the box.
DMARC
DMARC policy set up with a single toggle. Protects your domain from spoofing.
Webmail
Roundcube webmail installed and accessible from your domain. No extra setup required.
Storage & backups
Persistent block storage for your data, with granular scheduled backups and one-click restore.
Automated backups
Schedule backups of your full server, individual databases, apps, email, or specific files. Retained up to 30 days.
One-click restore
Roll back to any snapshot from the portal. Restore a single database, individual files, or the entire server.
Block storage volumes
Attach persistent block storage volumes to any server. New databases default to block storage so data survives server rebuilds.
FTP access
Managed FTP/SFTP access with per-user credentials. Add and remove FTP users from the portal.
