WordPress VPS Setup FAQ
Answers to common questions about preparing and handing over a WordPress VPS.
What is WordPress VPS setup?
It is a server configuration service that prepares a VPS to run WordPress: LEMP stack, security hardening, automated backups, and one included WordPress website migration.
How is VPS setup different from a hosting migration?
Hosting migration moves a website to an environment that is already prepared. VPS setup builds the server environment from the beginning. If the VPS is ready and you only need the website moved, see Website & Hosting Migration.
How is VPS setup different from Managed WordPress Hosting?
VPS setup is for businesses that own their VPS and want more control over the infrastructure. Managed WordPress Hosting is a monthly service with ongoing support. See Managed WordPress Hosting if you want a managed package.
What is a LEMP stack?
LEMP combines Linux, Nginx, MySQL or MariaDB, and PHP. It can provide a strong WordPress environment when configured and maintained properly.
How long does VPS setup take?
Most standard setups are completed within one business day, usually 4-8 hours. The exact timeline depends on the starting server condition and any additional requirements.
Do I need to have my own VPS?
Yes. You can choose a provider such as DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, or AWS. We need root access over SSH to perform the setup. See our hosting comparison if you are still choosing an environment.
Is website migration included?
Yes. One WordPress website migration without planned downtime is included. Additional websites can be scoped separately.
Is support included after handover?
The setup includes 30 days of WhatsApp support and handover documentation. After that, you can continue with Website Maintenance or manage the server yourself.
How do you scope a VPS setup?
We review the server environment, website needs, staging, CDN, mail-server requirements, and security priorities before confirming the setup scope.
