Is there a good WordPress hosting manager?

My requirements are these.
I would like to provide WordPress hosting for a local group of work colleagues.
I would like to have them to mange there site by themselves. However, they don't need a full cpanel experience. Just to install WordPress and updating an stuff, so I don't have to help them.
This would be more like sitegrounds, WordPress hosting.
Is there a user-friendly affordable script for this.
I know easyengine and wordops, but I think they don't give full control to the client,
Specialized Pass and SaaS are pricey.
Thanks.

Softaculois?
@cazrz
Yes. But it's in a web panel. DA or cpanel.
Can go with webuzo. It is cheap. if nothing else.
I think infiniteWP is nice. I was looking at their product earlier. It's a bit expensive though.
Thanks.
Is it multiuser or multisite?
Looks like the second. I'll do test run and see.
It is multisite. You spawn as many websites as you want under one account.
ISPConfig 3 has this, you can install new wordpress sites in 1 click
Thanks @LTniger @alexnf
It seems like wpultimo is a great choice. However, cost 100$ per year.
What about CyberPanel?
Hi,
Why you dont like to go with free directadmin license + VPS ?
@AK_KWH
I have that with few of VPSs.
I was just wondering about specialized WordPress hosting...
More like managed?
Yeah. That's it. So I can do the updates and background things and users can do frontend.
Try https://cloudjiffy.com/ reselling, you can give users ftp access / collaboration access to only perform file changes. While cluster related changes are in your control.
If you would like buy a slice from @Francisco , 1GB ram, DA & Softaculous are free for 3.5$ monthly .
Plesk has a dedicated Wordpress manager too.
Why's everyone hyped about WP?
wordpress has multisite support built in. you will have to handle updates and install plugins and themes. they get to add content, enable/disable plugins and themes only. would this suffice?
Funny thing, but when you choose a theme you got nothing after the installation. No demo content and your site looks like a lot of shitsites on the web. It's kinda deception, or maybe self-deception? You see a nice theme, wanna download and enjoy, but got only a layout. It's humiliating. For beginners, this is shock and stress
sad. they have to learn that content is what makes a site not the design. the design is just fluff. even your visitors are there for the content.
Plesk is great control panel for installation, update and secure the WP, you can try our services:
https://www.webprovps.com/wordpress-hosting
We can provide reseller plan and as part of service every instance of WP is updated on weekly basis.
Everyone is hyped about DA - uncompleted control panel only popular due to attractive price only. If tomorrow the cPanel reverse the price I can bet you that everyone jump back to cPanel! As using DA still need to use ssh in order to complete the tasks compare to cPanel or Plesk can be done in control panel.
There is a big difference between DA and cPanel/Plesk - 2 bucks/mo vs 15-20... For me cpanel and plesk are overpriced, while DA gives you the opportunity to feel good and comfortable for just 2 bucks.
If they can learn a couple of basic things (upload files using an ftp client, set DB info on wordpress install page) you just need any panel out there. As long as creating a new DB / DB user is easy there is no difficulty in installing wordpress.
You can check out froxlor if this kind of setup could work for you. Performs great (can run php-fpm with your own tweaks) and stays simple.
It looks pretty nice I found out about it a while ago but the pricing was a bit steep.
@lroshan Pricing lowest to highest

Ever tried https://easyengine.io/? Wordpress complete setup + Let's Encrypt in one click.
Also have a look at:

Hey @vyas11
Since you mentioned these services. What exactly is Cloudron.io?
Is it just a way to one click install applications or is it more than that?
I think you can try

Cipi control panel
Nice tools.
Thanks.
