ServerAvatar is a cloud server management platform built by ServerAvatar Cloud Technologies Private Limited of Surat, Gujarat, India. It acts as a hosting control panel: you connect servers you already rent, and it handles websites, databases, SSL certificates, backups and deployments from a single dashboard.
The company began as a control panel and later added managed cloud options, but still lets users bring their own servers. It supports WordPress, PHP, Laravel, Node.js, N8N and Mautic, and is aimed at developers, agencies and small businesses.
How does ServerAvatar work?
You start by connecting a server from DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, Hetzner, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or any VPS provider. ServerAvatar then configures it automatically with an Apache, Nginx, OpenLiteSpeed or MERN stack, including PHP-FPM, Git, Composer and Redis where relevant, and the site says this takes about ten minutes.
Once the server is ready, you deploy apps with one-click installers or from GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket. You keep full root access and pay your cloud provider directly for infrastructure, while ServerAvatar charges a subscription for management.
Key features of ServerAvatar
