Managing Your Site

Creating a Site

From your dashboard, click "+ New Site" and fill in:

  • Site Name: Unique identifier (e.g., my-blog). Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.
  • Domain: The domain name visitors will use (e.g., www.example.com).
  • Title: Display name for your site (optional).
  • Admin Email: WordPress admin email address.
  • Custom Login Slug: Hide your WordPress login page behind a custom URL for security (optional).

The site will deploy automatically. Deployment typically takes 2-3 minutes.

Editing a Site

Click "Manage" on your dashboard, then "Edit" to change:

  • Domain name
  • Site title
  • Admin email
  • Custom login slug
  • Resource settings (replicas, memory limits)

After editing, click "Redeploy" to apply the changes.

Redeploying

Redeploy updates your site's configuration without affecting your WordPress content. Use it when:

  • You changed domain or settings
  • Your site is showing errors
  • You want to refresh the infrastructure

Active sites use a safe redeploy (refresh-only) that won't reinstall WordPress or reset your database.

Fix SSL

If your site shows ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR or certificate warnings:

  1. Make sure your domain's DNS is pointed to our server (server-ip-addr)
  2. On your site's detail page, click "Fix SSL"
  3. Wait about a minute for the certificate to be provisioned

WordPress Admin Access

Click "WP Admin" on your site's detail page. You'll be automatically logged in to the WordPress dashboard.

If you set a custom login slug, your login page is at yourdomain.com/your-slug instead of the default wp-login.php.

Monitoring

Each site has a monitoring dashboard in the Portal showing:

  • Uptime status (up/down)
  • Response time and HTTP status
  • SSL certificate expiry countdown
  • Resource settings and live usage (WordPress + DB)
  • PHP-FPM pool activity (active/idle/queue)

Click "View Dashboard" in your dashboard summary, or go to the site's detail page and click the monitoring link.

Deleting a Site

Click "Manage", then "Delete". You'll be asked to confirm. Deletion removes:

  • The WordPress installation and all content
  • The database and user
  • SSL certificate and proxy configuration
  • Monitoring for that site

This action is irreversible. Make sure to back up any content you want to keep before deleting.
