SandyWP
WordPress sandbox, instantly.
Spin up a fresh WordPress sandbox in seconds. Test plugins, themes, and ideas without breaking real sites.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Riza here, solo founder of SandyWP.
After years of working in WordPress plugins companies and handled thousands of client sites, often times when I stumbled upon really difficult issue where I cannot replicate it on fresh installation, I will need to copy over their site into my server.
That means I have to login to my server > setup the DNS so it connect to my server > install fresh WordPress > export client site > import it to this new site.
And that's fine when you do it once. But I could almost do it few times a week. That started to give me real pain.
The Problem
A WordPress test site has to be three things at once:
Real — a real server, real database, real wp-admin.
Fast — if a clean install takes 10 minutes, you'll reuse a dirty one instead, and now your test results are tainted.
Disposable — but per-site pricing punishes exactly the throwaway behavior that testing needs. Delete-and-recreate becomes a billing decision.
The Solution: SandyWP
Real, disposable WordPress sandboxes in a seconds. No local stack, no credit card, and your first one doesn't even need a signup. Three ways in:
Create — pick WP 6.6–7.0 and PHP 8.1–8.3, hit the button, and get a live HTTPS URL with one-click magic login into wp-admin. Live in a seconds, timed, real.
Clone — paste any live WordPress site's URL and SandyWP pulls its database and files into an isolated sandbox. Debug the client's site without ever touching production.
CLI - Manage your site directly from the terminal
Templates - Save your sandbox as a template, and share it with your customers.
Slack - just mention @SandyWP in Slack with a ZIP — it replies in-thread with a live site and a login link.
Launch deal for hunters: code PHLAUNCH = 30% off any paid plan — recurring on every renewal, forever, not a first-month gimmick → https://sandywp.com/ph
I'll be here all day answering everything. Honest question for the WordPress folks: how do you spin up test sites today, and what's the most annoying part of it? Brutal feedback very welcome. 🙏
