Hi all,
I am a self-employed, full-time freelancer WordPress designer / developer who has managed (usually shared, basic) hosting for a while now. My cPanel experience comes from those. One site I manage, develop, and pretty much everything else, is a VPS at InMotion Hosting. With that, I can spend $50 for a year of Softaculous (all the shared hosting I've used already had Softaculous, but not with this VPS), or I was excited about WordPress Toolkit Premium, because it sounds like could help me with my staging / cloning / restoring needs, which are:
One site in particular is extremely complex, and I need to have full confidence in those things, and am looking at Toolkit Premium. Does anyone here have any opinions of Softaculous vs Toolkit Premium? Softaculous has been around a while, but also maybe is a bit dated? Toolkit Premium is literally brand new, as far as I know. Softaculous is 50/ a year, and Toolkit, for one solo, is $90.
For that Solo license, to upgrade the WordPress Toolkit to premium in my VPS hosting cPanel, will i only, strictly be able to use it there? The cart wouldn't let me buy 2. I don't need 5, but 2 might be what I need right now.
Any opinions or experiences with any of these is more than welcome.
Thanks,
Ben

- To clone into staging site(s)
- Easily create / restore backup points of any of the instances
- To push from a staging / clone to live, and when doing so
- Have option to overwrite live completely vs leave new / differences
- Have option to push all, or only database, or only code
