Introduction
TurboStack is Hosted Power's self-service platform for managing your hosting infrastructure. Instead of configuring servers by hand, you describe how each server should look - its web server, databases, caching, security, backups and applications - and TurboStack applies that configuration to your servers for you.
TurboStack is a European managed platform built for teams that run business-critical applications and applications. Its main users are web developers and DevOps who want full control and transparency over their stack, e-commerce and marketing teams who need their sites to stay fast and online during busy campaigns, and agencies that manage many client sites from one place. It focuses on e-commerce and other critical applications - such as Magento, Shopware, WooCommerce and Laravel - and runs them on a standard, open-source stack, so you are not locked into a proprietary platform.
How TurboStack works
TurboStack is built around a desired-state model:
-
You describe the desired state. In the TurboStack Platform you define the configuration for each server (a host). You can use the GUI editor or edit the configuration directly as YAML.
-
You publish. When you are happy with the configuration, you publish it.
-
TurboStack applies it. The platform automatically deploys your configuration to the server so that the running server matches what you described.
Important
TurboStack is the single source of truth for your servers. Manual changes made directly on a server are not tracked and may be overwritten the next time the host is published. Make your changes in TurboStack so they are recorded and consistently applied.
What you can manage
From a single interface you can configure, for each server:
-
Web & applications - Nginx or Apache, PHP and other runtimes, and application types such as WordPress, Magento, Shopware, Drupal and more.
-
Databases & search - MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and search engines such as Elasticsearch/OpenSearch.
-
Caching & queues - Redis, Varnish and RabbitMQ.
-
Security - TurboShield protection, firewall rules, IP allow-lists and a web application firewall.
-
Access - SSH keys and authentication.
-
Backups - restore files and databases from backups.
You also organize servers with groups and templates, monitor their health, and work faster with search and a full API for automation.
Your account
Your account manages its own hosts, groups and templates - you only ever see the resources that belong to it. A single login can be linked to more than one account, which is useful for agencies and partners; TurboStack then shows a Select account screen after you sign in. See Accounts and access.
