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.

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
• 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 (themes, plugins, uploads). Use it when:

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

Redeploy is non-destructive: it does not reinstall WordPress, clear your files, or reset your database. Your installed themes and plugins are preserved.

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

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.
