RunCloud’s Three Stack Options: Nginx, OpenLiteSpeed, and Docker
When setting up a cloud-based web server, performance, scalability, and ease of management are critical considerations. RunCloud, a powerful server management panel, offers three stack options to suit different needs: Nginx, OpenLiteSpeed (OLS), and Docker. Each of these stacks has its unique benefits and ideal use cases.
Nginx: Nginx is one of the most widely used web servers in the world, known for its high performance and ability to handle a large number of concurrent connections efficiently.
OpenLiteSpeed (OLS): OLs is an open-source version of LiteSpeed Web Server, offering significant performance improvements, especially for WordPress-based websites. RunCloud’s OLS stack is optimized for speed and ease of management.
Docker: Docker is an advanced containerization technology that allows developers to package applications and their dependencies into isolated containers. RunCloud’s Docker integration provides the flexibility to deploy applications in a highly scalable and efficient manner
RunCloud simplifies website and application management by providing tools for easy deployment, configuration, and maintenance.
- Multiple PHP versions: Run different PHP versions per application as needed.
- Custom web application settings: Modify PHP settings, .htaccess rules, and set custom config for Ngnix stack.
- Git deployment: Integrate with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket for easy version control and automated deployments.
- One-click WordPress installation: Deploy WordPress websites within minutes.
- Script installer: Script Installer lets you build a web application by using installation scripts stored on your server. For instance, it can facilitate the setup of popular platforms like Joomla, Matomo, phpBB, and more.
- Staging environment: Create a staging version of your site to test changes before pushing them live.
- Clone: Create an exact copy of the web app on the same server or on another server that comes under the same account.
Security & Firewall Management

Workspace
Introducing RunCloud Workspace—a centralized hub designed to streamline collaboration. This innovative feature lets you bring developers and partners together to manage all your server resources from one unified account, eliminating the need for multiple RunCloud logins.
Atomic Deployment
Atomic Deployment is a way to update your website quickly and safely without any interruptions. Here’s how it works in simple terms:
- Preparation: The new version of your website is prepared in a separate, temporary folder. This means all updates and necessary commands are run without affecting the live site.
- Instant Switch: Once everything is ready, the server changes a pointer (a symbolic link) from the old version to the new one. This switch happens instantly, so users see the updated site without any downtime.
- Cleanup: After the switch, the old version is deleted, and the temporary folder is cleaned up.
In short, Atomic Deployment ensures that your website is always live and fully functional, avoiding any errors or downtime during updates.
RunCloud’s intuitive platform simplifies cloud server management, eliminating the need for deep sysadmin knowledge while offering powerful features. With automated security updates, performance optimizations, and easy deployment options, RunCloud is a valuable solution for developers, agencies, and businesses looking to streamline server administration. Whether you are running a small website or a large-scale application, RunCloud provides the tools and flexibility to manage your infrastructure with confidence.
