Deploy WordPress in 60 Seconds

WordPress powers 40% of the web. Deploy a fresh WordPress instance with one command — PHP, database, and HTTPS pre-configured. No server management needed.

Deploy WordPress Starting at $3/mo

The usual way to deploy WordPress

Installing PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, and all required PHP extensions (gd, mbstring, xml, curl, zip) on a fresh server
Configuring wp-config.php with database credentials, salts, and table prefix — then securing it from public access
Tuning PHP-FPM and MySQL memory settings so WordPress doesn't OOM on a small VPS with only 1-2 GB RAM
Setting up nginx or Apache rewrite rules for pretty permalinks and blocking access to wp-includes and xmlrpc.php
Managing WordPress updates, plugin compatibility, and PHP version requirements across production environments

WordPress is easy to use but the LAMP/LEMP stack underneath it is a full-time sysadmin job.

Or just run one command

WordPress deployment notes

Database Included

InstaPods provisions MySQL alongside WordPress. Database credentials are pre-configured in wp-config.php. Access phpMyAdmin via the dashboard if needed.

Plugin & Theme Uploads

Install plugins and themes from the WordPress admin as usual. File uploads persist on the server — no object storage config required.

WP-CLI Access

SSH into your pod and use WP-CLI for bulk operations, database exports, and plugin management from the command line.
