What is WordPress?
A complete WordPress install with its database, PHP runtime and web server already wired together, ready for you to log in and choose a theme.
Unlike shared hosting, nothing on the machine is throttled to protect a neighbour: the CPU, memory and disk of the plan are yours, and you can install any plugin, including the ones managed hosts block.
What you get
- WordPress with its database and PHP-FPM configured and running
- Any plugin or theme, including ones that need shell access or custom cron
- Full file system access over SSH for wp-config edits, WP-CLI and debugging
- Your own HTTPS hostname from the first minute, with your own domain addable later
Running WordPress on Autogineer Cloud
WordPress is a one-click install here: choose it at checkout, set a root password, and the server is built, the software installed and configured, and published on its own HTTPS address — usually in about a minute, with the whole build streamed to your browser as it runs.
- Installed and configured, not just downloaded. The build finishes only once WordPress is answering on its port with a real page — a server that could not finish is reported as failed rather than handed over looking complete.
- A working HTTPS address from the first minute. Your server is published at an address like wordpress-vps.autogineer.com, with a valid certificate, so webhooks and OAuth callbacks work immediately. Your own domain can be added afterwards.
- Full root over SSH. The one-click install is a starting point, not a cage: you can reconfigure WordPress, install anything beside it, or replace it entirely.
- Backups you can restore from. On-demand backups of the whole server on every paid plan, which for WordPress means its data as well as its configuration.
- Room to grow. Resize the plan as WordPress grows, or rebuild the same server with a different app when the project changes.
Who it suits
Sites that have outgrown shared hosting, and agencies who want one predictable server per client.
Getting started with WordPress
- When the build finishes, your server's page in the dashboard shows its HTTPS address, its root password and any sign-in details the installer set for WordPress. The build console streams every step as it happens, so you can see exactly what was installed rather than taking it on trust.
- The famous five-minute install appears: pick a site title and create the admin user. Set permalinks to a readable format, then add a theme — nothing is pre-installed on your behalf.
- Add your own domain from the same page when you are ready: point a DNS record at the server and the certificate is issued for you. The original address keeps working, so nothing you configured against it breaks.
- Take a backup once WordPress is configured the way you want it. A backup captures the whole server, so restoring one brings back WordPress and its data together — and it is the only thing that will bring them back.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get to install any plugin I want?
Yes. This is your own server with root access, so there is no plugin blocklist and no restriction on plugins that need WP-Cron, shell commands or custom PHP extensions.
How do I move an existing WordPress site here?
Use any migration plugin, or copy the files with rsync and import the database over SSH. Both work because you have full access to the filesystem and the database.
Is WooCommerce supported?
Yes, and it is one of the better reasons to move off shared hosting — checkout performance depends on CPU and database latency, which are yours alone on a dedicated server.
How long does it take to install WordPress?
About a minute. Choosing WordPress at checkout builds the server, installs it, and publishes it on an HTTPS address, streaming the progress to your browser as it happens.
What size server does WordPress need?
At least 1 vCPU, 2 GB of memory and 20 GB of disk, which is the Starter plan or larger. These are the figures the installer is tested against rather than the smallest configuration that will boot.
Do I get root access to the server?
Yes. Every server includes full root access over SSH on its own port, so you can configure, extend or replace anything the one-click installer set up.
Can I use my own domain with WordPress?
Yes. Each server is published on its own HTTPS address the moment it is built — wordpress-vps.autogineer.com for example, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the dashboard.
