Lifeboat is equipped with an efficient upload system that determines if a file has changed. Resources on the server that have not changed are duplicated rather than being re-uploaded. Once ready to deploy, the smart staging system is able to Stop 'n' Swop the web app for just seconds of downtime.
Lifeboat automates the retrieval, installation, and renewal of SSL certificates. With no cost for the developer, certificates are issued by the Let's Encrypt project. Lifeboat schedules regular renewals of all certificates on the server.
Take the headaches out of securing your web app, Lifeboat makes configuration simple popup menu selections.
Lifeboat can serve both regular websites and web apps from the same server. Optionally install PHP with just a few clicks. Impress users with a seamless transition between your websites and apps.

Lifeboat is brain dead simple to use. It does an amazing amount of server work for you. The few minor issues we've had, Strawberry Software has fixed/upgraded in short order. Highly recommended.
