Templates Management

Templates, Plugins & Domains in one place

An all-in-one tool to manage everything from one dashboard — sites, plugins, blueprints, and domains.

Sell pre-made WordPress blueprints using a WaaS model, or offer a standard WordPress installation — both deploy instantly with no manual setup. With WaaS, customers can only install the plugins you publish at the prices you set; with a standard installation (SaaS) they get full control of their site.

Domains Management

Resell domains and keep the margin

Register and connect domains for your clients without leaving the panel. Set your own price for every TLD and turn domain registrations and renewals into a recurring revenue stream — while your clients keep full control of their own domain.

  • Set a custom price per TLD — the markup over cost is yours on every registration and renewal
  • End users fully manage their own domain — WHOIS privacy, registrar lock, DNS records, nameservers, and contacts
  • Powered by a direct API integration with Dynadot

  • Upload your own premium themes & plugins
  • Set a custom price per item — free or paid
  • One-click buy & install for your clients
  • Revenue collected through your own gateway

Git Deployment

Push to deploy. Like a real product team.

Connect a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository to any site. Every push to main deploys to production. Every push to dev deploys to the dev container. PRs spin up preview environments.

Composer-based site? Run `composer install` automatically. Custom build step? Define it once in `areawp.yml`. The runner caches between deploys for near-instant rebuilds.

Webhooks, deploy logs, instant rollback to any previous commit — and the full audit trail lives next to backups and updates.

Environments

Prod, Dev & Staging — built in

Every site gets a Production, Development, and Staging environment automatically. Each one runs in its own Docker container, isolated from the others.

Promote with a button: dev → staging → prod. Roll back just as fast. Database, files, and configuration sync cleanly between environments with no manual wp search-replace gymnastics.

Branded environment URLs (dev.client.com, staging.client.com) keep your client review process tidy. Restrict access by IP or basic auth without leaving the panel.

White-Label Branding

Make the whole platform yours

Upload your logo, set your brand colors, point your own domain — and every screen your clients see becomes your product. No AreaWP branding anywhere.

Hey, our checkout button does nothing on iOS Safari since this morning. Works fine on Chrome. Anything you changed?

AI

AI suggested draft

Hi Jess — checked the staging container and found a JS error from the new "Express Checkout" plugin update (v2.4 → 2.5). I'll roll the plugin back on production now and run a smoke test. Should be live in ~3 min. Confirming once done.

MR

Internal note · Marco R.

Same as ticket #3119 last week. Plugin author was notified; we should pin to 2.4 across the fleet until patched.

SLA per plan

Configure first-response and resolution targets per hosting plan or per client tier.

Auto-assign

Round-robin by skill tag (billing, performance, plugin). Skip out-of-hours agents.

AI replies

Drafts grounded in your KB + the site's actual state. Agent reviews before sending.

Embeddable widget

Drop the support widget into your client portal — same backend, single inbox.

Multi-Language System
