What you get with managed WordPress
Every WordPress instance includes the Hostwares platform — not just the container.
One-click deploy
WordPress is provisioned, configured and started for you. No compose file to write, no ports to wire up — Hostwares pulls the wordpress-with-mariadb image and wires storage.
SSL included
Every WordPress deployment gets HTTPS automatically, on a free hostwares.app subdomain or your own domain with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt.
Dedicated resources
WordPress runs on the CPU, RAM and SSD of the pack you pick — not squeezed onto a shared box with everyone else. Resize when you need more.
Full container access
It is your container: exec into WordPress, read files, tail logs and set environment variables whenever you need to.
Status and logs
Start, stop and restart WordPress from the dashboard and read real container logs when something misbehaves.
