Host a WordPress site
WordPress here is not a repository you push. Pick it on the create form, give the site a name, and we run the official image and create its database. Open the address and WordPress asks you for a title and an admin user, which is its own five minute install and the only setup there is.
What you get.
WordPress hosting for students from ₹99 a month, with the database included.
How it fits
- No repository and no build; the site exists as soon as it is created
- MySQL is created with the app, so there is no connection string to copy
- Plugins, themes and uploads are kept, and survive a restart
- WordPress updates its own core, in place
- An HTTPS address immediately, or a custom domain through your own Cloudflare
- Backups cover the whole site: the files and the database together
How it works
- Sign in to the dashboard and press New app.
- Choose WordPress under "What are you deploying?". The repository fields disappear, because there is no repository.
- Name it and pick a plan. Nap sleeps when nobody is visiting, which makes the first visit after that take a few seconds. Awake stays up.
- Press Create my site, then open your address. WordPress asks for a site title and an admin user.
- Install an SMTP plugin before you rely on password resets. Mail does not leave the container, so WordPress cannot send you a reset link on its own.
- Take a backup from the Backups section before you install anything risky. It captures the files and the database in one archive.
Hosting is ₹99 a month on Nap, all in: the build, the running app, the database and the storage. Nothing is metered separately, so the bill cannot surprise you. Start with 30 days of free credit, no card required. The docs cover databases, domains and what to do when a build fails.
