SandyWP is live. Spinning up a clean WordPress to test a plugin, demo a theme, or reproduce a bug should not take twenty minutes of Docker, DNS, and installer screens — so it does not. Click once and you get a real WordPress install in about seven seconds. Walk away and it vacuums itself up.
What you can do today
- Spin up a real sandbox in seconds. Full wp-admin, REST API, and file system — not a screenshot or a mock.
- Pick your stack. Choose WordPress and PHP versions to match what you are testing.
- Save templates. Snapshot any ready sandbox and restore it into a fresh site in seconds.
- Share live demos. Turn a template into a public launch link so anyone can try it — no SandyWP account required.
Disposable by default
Every sandbox has an expiry. When the timer runs out, the site, its database, and its files are deleted automatically. No folder of half-broken local installs. No Docker containers you meant to clean up. Less for you to manage.
Share a live demo in one link
Our favorite day-one feature: launch links. Flip a template to public, copy the URL, and send it. Your customer clicks it and lands straight in wp-admin of a fresh copy — seconds later. You choose who pays for the demo (you or the visitor) and whether to capture an email first.
You can also brand the landing page: your logo, colors, copy, and a white-label toggle to hide the SandyWP mark entirely. It is your demo, on your terms.
It is an honest beta
SandyWP is free to start, with paid plans for more active sandboxes and permanent sites. We keep the surface small on purpose and tell you what works today versus what is on the roadmap. Next up: deeper analytics for launch links, more template tooling, and team accounts.
That is the launch. The best way to understand it is to try it — go make a sandbox and throw it away.
