Made for WordPress at scale.

Helmsman is purpose-built for WordPress operators — agencies, resellers, and publishers running dozens of sites. Provision, secure, update, back up, and migrate every site, across all your servers, from one place.

Start free
01
Provision in seconds
A hardened WordPress site with WP-CLI, its own PHP-FPM pool, and SSL — no manual server setup.
02
Manage from the browser
Plugins, themes, files, and the database — plus a full terminal — without ever opening SSH.
03
Locked down by default
Per-site isolation, dangerous functions disabled, and continuous malware + file-integrity scans.
04
SSL on autopilot
Every domain gets a free, auto-renewing Let's Encrypt certificate the moment it's attached.
05
Backed up & restorable
Scheduled, encrypted backups to S3-compatible storage — any site restored in one click.
06
Migrate from cPanel / WHM
Move whole servers of WordPress sites — files, databases, SSL, configs — in one guided run.
/ What it does

Everything you'd SSH in for.

01Deploy from GitPush to main. Nixpacks builds it, health-checks it, ships it — and keeps the last image for a one-click rollback.
02Databases on tapPostgres, MySQL, or Redis with persistent storage. The connection string lands in your app's env automatically.
03Security by defaultPer-site isolation, automatic Let's Encrypt SSL, and continuous malware scanning that quarantines threats.
04Migrate off cPanelMove whole WHM servers — files, databases, SSL, configs — in one guided, verified run.
/ Your infrastructure

It runs on your servers.
You own everything.

No lock-in, no black box. The agent runs on infrastructure you control and connects out over TLS — your sites, data, and backups never leave your servers. Cancel anytime; your servers keep running.
