TurboStack Documentation

TurboStack is Hosted Power's self-service platform for managing your hosting infrastructure. You define how each server should be configured - web server, databases, caching, security, backups and more - and TurboStack applies that configuration to your servers for you. This documentation explains how to use the platform, step by step.

TurboStack is built for web developers, DevOps and e-commerce teams - and the agencies that serve them - who run business-critical sites and want them fast, stable and on a standard, open-source stack (no vendor lock-in).
