WordPress on Your Own VPSSelf-Managed, With Root Access

For people who want WordPress on a server they control: your own PHP limits, caching layers and plugins, with no host restrictions. We install WordPress with NGINX or Apache, PHP-FPM, MariaDB and Redis, harden the server and hand you root SSH.

Why a VPS

Why Run WordPress on a VPS

Shared and managed WordPress hosting decide your PHP limits, caching and allowed plugins. On a VPS you make those decisions yourself.

  1. Your own caching stack

    Combine NGINX FastCGI cache or a page-cache plugin with Redis object caching, configured for your site rather than a host-wide default.

  2. No plugin or PHP limits

    Raise memory_limit and max_execution_time, run heavy importers and use plugins that some managed hosts block.

  3. Several sites, one bill

    Host a Multisite network or many separate installs, each with its own database and PHP-FPM pool.

  4. Real cron and WP-CLI

    Replace WP-Cron with a system cron job, and handle updates, users and search-replace from the command line.

The stack

A Production WordPress Server

Each layer puts a cache in front of the slower one behind it.

Request from a browser or app (HTTPS)

  1. Web server

    NGINX (or Apache)

    Handles HTTPS and media files and, with FastCGI cache, serves whole pages to logged-out visitors.

  2. PHP runtime

    PHP-FPM + OPcache

    Runs WordPress, themes and plugins; OPcache keeps compiled PHP in memory.

  3. Object cache

    Redis

    Keeps the results of repeated database queries, so pages need fewer MySQL calls.

  4. Database

    MariaDB or MySQL

    Posts, options, orders and users, listening on localhost only.

Worth knowing

  • Choose Apache if your plugins write .htaccess rules; NGINX needs those rules in the server block.
  • WooCommerce cart, checkout and account pages must be excluded from page caching.
  • Set DISABLE_WP_CRON in wp-config.php and run wp cron event run from a system cron.
  • Use WP-CLI for bulk updates, and for search-replace when a domain changes.
What you can run

What You Can Run

  • Busy blogs and news sites

    Large archives and traffic spikes, served mostly from page cache.

  • WooCommerce stores

    Catalogues and checkouts with Redis object caching on reserved resources.

  • WordPress Multisite

    A network of sites for a company, school or franchise on one install.

  • Agency client sites

    Many installs on one server, each with its own user and database.

  • Membership and LMS sites

    LearnDash, MemberPress and similar sites where logged-in traffic cannot be page-cached.

  • Headless WordPress

    WordPress as a content API behind a Next.js or other front end.

Sizing guide

Which Plan for Your WordPress Server

Cached pages cost almost nothing. Logged-in users, WooCommerce carts and admin work are what use CPU and RAM.

Recommended VPS plan for each WordPress workload
Workload Start with Why
Blog or company site VPS-1 2 vCores · 4 GB RAM Page cache serves most visitors; 4 GB is plenty.
WooCommerce store VPS-2 4 vCores · 8 GB RAM Cart and checkout bypass page cache and need PHP workers.
Membership, LMS or busy store VPS-3 6 vCores · 12 GB RAM Mostly logged-in traffic: more vCores and RAM.
Multisite or many client sites VPS-4 8 vCores · 24 GB RAM Room for dozens of installs and databases.

A starting point, not a limit: every plan upgrades in place, keeping your data, IP address and configuration.

Managed WordPress or a WordPress VPS?

Both run WordPress well. The difference is who runs the server.

Feature Managed WordPress hosting WordPress VPS
Server administration Handled for you Yours, after our free setup
Root and SSH access No Yes
Web server and caching LiteSpeed, set up for you NGINX or Apache, your choice
PHP limits and plugins Host defaults Your settings

After handover

Working With Your WordPress VPS

Everyday tasks with WP-CLI, which we install alongside WordPress.

  1. Update core, plugins and themes

    Run from the site directory.

  2. Turn on Redis object caching

    Using the Redis Object Cache plugin.

  3. Run WP-Cron from system cron

    Scheduled tasks run on time without slowing page loads.

  4. Back up the database

    Keep a copy off the server too.

# 1. Update core, plugins and themes

cd /var/www/example.com

wp core update && wp plugin update --all && wp theme update --all

# 2. Turn on Redis object caching

wp plugin install redis-cache --activate

wp redis enable

# 3. Run WP-Cron from system cron

wp config set DISABLE_WP_CRON true --raw

(crontab -l; echo "*/5 * * * * cd /var/www/example.com && wp cron event run --due-now") | crontab -

# 4. Back up the database

wp db export ~/backups/db-$(date +%F).sql

Example shell commands; adjust paths, names and versions to your project.

Example commands; adjust names, paths and versions to your project. Deploying and maintaining your application is yours to do (or ask us for a quote).

Free one-time setup

Installed and Secured Before You Log In

The VPS is unmanaged: after handover the server is yours to run. Before that, our engineers do the first setup once, free, so you start from a hardened server with WordPress in place.

  1. Choose a plan and location

    Pick the resources you need and the datacentre closest to your users.

  2. Tell us your WordPress setup

    Versions, database and domain: at order or right after.

  3. We install and secure it

    Server hardened, WordPress installed and tested, HTTPS on your domain.

  4. You take over with root

    SSH access to a working server, ready for your code and data.

Your WordPress stack

  • NGINX or Apache, your choice
  • PHP-FPM with OPcache and the extensions WordPress recommends
  • MariaDB or MySQL with a database and user for WordPress
  • WordPress installed on your domain with HTTPS
  • Redis object cache and WP-CLI

Yours to run after handover

  • Ongoing server administration
  • Application maintenance and updates
  • Debugging your code
  • Migrating existing sites or data

Not included in the free setup, but we can quote for it. No control panel by default: CloudPanel, HestiaCP or Virtualmin on request at no cost; cPanel and Plesk need their own licence.

Who it's for

Who a WordPress VPS Suits

  • Developers and agencies

    You want control over PHP, caching and server config across client sites.

  • Stores outgrowing shared plans

    WooCommerce shops where checkout slows down during sales.

  • Owners comfortable with SSH

    You, or someone on your team, can update WordPress and the server.

Running it well

Security and Performance for WordPress

Security

  • Keep core, themes and plugins updated: most WordPress compromises use known plugin flaws.
  • Block xmlrpc.php unless you need it, and limit login attempts.
  • Set file permissions so PHP cannot rewrite wp-config.php or core files.
  • Delete themes and plugins you do not use.

Performance

  • Page caching for logged-out visitors, Redis for object caching.
  • Size PHP-FPM workers for logged-in traffic, which page caches cannot serve.
  • Run WP-Cron from a system cron job so it does not slow page loads.
  • Trim autoloaded options and old revisions as the database grows.
