Whether you’re a WordPress developer, designer, or website owner, chances are you have accumulated your own stash of tools, plugins, and processes that make your life easier. DesktopServer is a single integrated tool that is proven to save you time testing, developing, managing, and creating fully functional website servers on your own computer. DesktopServer allows you to quickly and easily generate optimized WordPress projects that run locally.
Prior to DesktopServer you would have had to install a LAMP stack, edit multiple configuration files, create databases, create security credentials, and repeat the process for each new project or site you wanted to run; a painful time consuming and unfriendly process for non-developers and seasoned programmers alike. DesktopServer diminishes mundane tasks and is preferred even by advanced developers who like to tinker with WordPress Multisite based projects, domain aliases, and host files.
Advanced WordPress designers love DesktopServer because it enables fast automated development. DesktopServer can create a new site in only a few seconds with just a couple of mouse clicks. DesktopServer installs all the necessary WordPress files, secures authentication keys and salts, and creates the database for you. By making it simple enough for the casual user or novice, but robust enough for the most experienced developer means that DesktopServer will have the capabilities to fulfill your needs as your experience grows. Creating a new WordPress site in seconds is just where the awesome begins. Give it a spin and find out for yourself!
DesktopServer is an application that quickly and easily automates the arduous process of creating a locally developed WordPress site so that you can design and develop your websites on a local system before sending it up to a live site.
When you are done creating your site, DesktopServer allows you to deploy to your live site with just a few mouse clicks. Going from local to live has never been easier. And DesktopServer is cross-platform so whether you’re on Mac or Windows, we’ve got you covered.
DesktopServer Premium has the ability to create multisite installations of WordPress as easily as clicking a checkbox.
As a Premium Subscriber you are entitled to unlimited updates throughout your subscription. When updates become available (on average, once a month), we will notify you via email, along with download links.
A Premium Subscription entitles you to Priority Support via both email and our Premium Support Forums. Additionally, you will be entitled to our Assisted Deploy service should you find that you are having issues with deploying your local site on your own.
Yes! DesktopServer Premium’s license is very liberal. Your purchase is support and user based. You may install DesktopServer Premium on 10 computers if you want but support is limited to only one user on one computer that must belong to the user and single license holder.
Wordpress Desktop Download
DesktopServer features an Import and Export feature so that you can trade and copy entire WordPress sites including themes, plugins, and their configurations with other DesktopServer users.
You cannot run DesktopServer itself or the website folders directly from a portable drive as the files are platform (Windows/Macintosh) specific and needs to bind to the host computer to simulate fictitious top-level domain names. Use the Import and Export feature to move your sites to other computers.
No. DesktopServer will continue to work regardless of its license status. However, you will no longer be entitled to our Premium Support services.
