Why Host WordPress on a VPS?

Shared hosting limits your performance and control. A VPS gives you dedicated resources, root access, and the freedom to configure everything exactly how you want.

Step 1: Install the Stack

apt update && apt install nginx php8.2-fpm php8.2-mysql mysql-server -y

Step 2: Configure Nginx

Create a server block for your domain pointing to your WordPress directory.

Step 3: Download WordPress

wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar -xzf latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/

Step 4: Set Up the Database

Create a MySQL database and user for WordPress, then update wp-config.php with the credentials.

Step 5: Run the Installer

Visit your domain in a browser to complete the WordPress setup wizard.
