About WordPress

No need for introduction. WordPress is the internets's CMS. It ubiquitous and runs everywhere. WordPress is the tool to get job done fast, building a lot of websites for clients. Like many others we started with WordPress early in our career. WordPress is still growing in popularity. The value of the vast ecosystem should not be underestimated. Many of our customers host WordPress projects here alongside with other software.

WordPress is free open source software.

Why fortrabbit

fortrabbit hosting shines when it comes to modern tooling and workflows. But the good old basics like SFTP upload are still supported. WordPress is not really made for modern web development, so our Git based deployment workflows will not match. There are forks like Bedrock to modernize the structure. Yet WordPress runs very well on the fortrabbit hosting platform because it's very basic.

Looking for cheap WordPress hosting? This is not the place.

If you are experienced enough you will actually enjoy that there are no one-click installers or automatic WordPress updates here. There's always a chance of running into an issue that you don't know how to fix. That's where our support comes in. Try fortrabbit hosting by spinning up a free trial app without obligations.

Frequently asked

Can I install WordPress with one click?
No

No - And that is on purpose. fortrabbit deploys real code, so WordPress is installed via Composer (or a Bedrock-style setup) or uploaded over SFTP. There is no auto-installer and no forced auto-updates — versions and plugins stay under the app owner's control.

#
Where do uploads and the media library live?
Persistent storage

Persistent storage - The code directory is replaced on every deploy, so anything written at runtime — `wp-content/uploads` and cache files — belongs in persistent storage so it survives releases.

#
Is fortrabbit cheap WordPress hosting?
No

No - There is cheaper shared hosting if price is the only goal. fortrabbit is built for fast, isolated, well-supported hosting and modern workflows around a WordPress site, not the lowest possible monthly bill.

#
Can I try WordPress hosting before paying?
Yes

Yes - Spin up a free trial app — seven days, no credit card — and put a real WordPress install on it. Support is there if a snag comes up; that is a large part of what the price covers.

#
Can I run WP-CLI and cron jobs on fortrabbit?
Yes

Yes - Full SSH access covers WP-CLI for installs, updates, and maintenance, and cron jobs handle WordPress scheduled tasks in place of the default page-load cron.
