Setup Time: 10 minutes
Cloudways currently offers four different selection of WordPress: A Cloudways optimized version, WordPress with WooCommerce, WordPress Multisite and a clean WordPress installation (a default WordPress).
In this article, you will learn how to create a WordPress application on the Cloudways Platform. Lets get started.
Installing WordPress on Cloudways
Add an Application
- Choose the first WordPress Version, this is an optimized version which is highly recommended.
- Add your Application Name (Website Name).
- Choose a Server Name for example (My Websites).
- Add a Project Name (Whichever best describers your website)
- Select your Server (I have chosen DigitalOcean as seen below).
- Choose a Server Size (1-2gb for Starter Websites)
- Choose a location preferably near you.
- Last but not least, hit the Launch Now button.
Your server will now be deployed successfully after 6-7mins waiting time, then you can start creating your WordPress website.
Manage Your WordPress Application
Now that we have deployed a server successfully on Cloudways, let’s move on to the Application Management section.
In the Dashboard section, top left corner of your desktop screen. Choose the Application you named in the previous section we covered as seen below i have named my WordPress Application “Your Application”.
You can now launch your freshly created WordPress site by clicking on the ‘URL’ under ‘Admin Panel’ and logging in using the username and password just below it.
