Create a server

Sign up and create a server (2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM recommended). WordPress works on smaller sizes but performs better with more RAM.

3

Log in and start building

Visit https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin with the admin credentials from the installer output.

Is WordPress multisite supported?

Yes. Enable multisite from wp-config.php after installation. Nginx supports subdirectory and subdomain multisite.

Can I install WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce is a standard plugin. With at least 4 GB RAM, it runs well for most stores.

How do I update WordPress?

Use the WordPress admin dashboard or WP-CLI (wp core update). Simplewala doesn't block updates.

Can I use a caching plugin?

Yes. W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, and LiteSpeed Cache all work. Nginx includes FastCGI cache support.

Do I get phpMyAdmin?

phpMyAdmin is available as an optional installer. Or use WP-CLI or SSH for database management.

Servers from ~$18/mo. No hidden fees.
