🔄 Option 1: Add to an Existing Server
If you already have a server on Pressillion, you can deploy a new WordPress website directly to it.
Steps:
- Log into your Pressillion Dashboard.
- Click the Create tab in the top right-hand corner.
- Select Create Website.
- Choose Add to Existing Server.
- Select one of your active servers from the list (e.g.,
press-docker-test-owned). - Add a name for your website using the input field or use the random name generator.
- You can rename the site later if needed.
- Click Create Site.
Your WordPress site will now begin provisioning on the selected server. Once complete, you’ll see it listed in your site dashboard.
☁️ Option 2: Use A Container
If you’re looking to host a single website without needing a full server, use our Container Hosting setup.
Steps:
- In the Create Website modal, select Containers.
- Choose your preferred Cloud Provider (e.g., DigitalOcean).
- Select your desired Server Size based on your site’s expected traffic.
- Choose a Data Center Location from the drop-down list (e.g., San Francisco).
- Add your website name, then click Create Site.
Pressillion will automatically deploy your server and provision WordPress on top of it. No manual configurations required.
