Frequently asked about GridPane
How much does GridPane cost?
GridPane is free. You manage servers on your own cloud provider account (DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, etc.), and GridPane charges nothing for the control panel. You pay only your cloud provider's VPS fees, which typically start around $5–$10/month per server.
Does GridPane include free WordPress migration?
No. GridPane doesn't offer assisted migration services. However, you can manually migrate sites using WordPress export/import or SSH tools once your GridPane server is live. The panel includes WordPress one-click provisioning to speed up new site setup.
Does GridPane support LiteSpeed?
Yes. GridPane servers run LiteSpeed Cache, which integrates with the WordPress plugin for page caching and asset optimization. This is included in all GridPane server builds at no extra cost.
Can I get phone support from GridPane?
No. GridPane offers live chat support only — no phone support is available. For urgent server issues, live chat is your primary channel. Phone support is not part of their support model.
How many servers can I manage with GridPane for free?
GridPane gives you three free servers. After three, additional servers are paid based on your cloud provider's rates. This makes GridPane ideal for agencies testing the platform or managing small client fleets.
