  1. 1

    Choose a plan

    Order the KVM VPS package that fits your site and pay at checkout.

  2. 2

    Automatic deployment

    Our control panel creates the VPS in about a minute once the order is approved. Your login details arrive by email.

What the free WordPress setup covers

A clean starting point that follows the server recommendations WordPress publishes. Anything beyond it is optional and billed only for the time used.

Included free

  • A web server (Apache or Nginx) with PHP 8.3 or newer and MariaDB
  • The latest WordPress release, with an admin account for you
  • Your domain pointed to the VPS, with a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate
  • Your WordPress and database logins, sent through the ticket

Custom work, billed by time

From $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour, only for the time used. No contract.

  • Moving an existing WordPress site to the VPS
  • Themes, plugins, page builders and WooCommerce settings
  • Caching, performance tuning and off-server backups
  • A control panel (choose Managed cPanel VPS if you want cPanel)

WordPress on a VPS instead of shared hosting

On shared hosting your site competes with other accounts for CPU, memory and PHP limits. On a KVM VPS the CPU cores, memory and NVMe storage in your plan belong to your virtual server, and you choose the PHP version, caching and security rules yourself.

You can run one busy site or several smaller ones on the same VPS, each with its own database. With root access you can also add the tools WordPress sites often need, such as WP-CLI or Redis object caching.

Our free setup follows the requirements WordPress publishes today:

Current WordPress release7.1.2
PHP8.3 or newer (recommended by WordPress)
DatabaseMariaDB 10.11 or newer, or MySQL 8.0 or newer
Web serverApache or Nginx
HTTPSFree Let’s Encrypt certificate

What people run on a WordPress VPS

Business websites

Company sites that need steady speed and their own server instead of a shared account.

WooCommerce stores

Online shops with checkout, stock and customer accounts, where database speed matters.

Agency client sites

Several client sites on one VPS, each with its own database and SSL certificate.

Membership and course sites

Logged-in visitors usually bypass page caching, so these sites need more CPU and memory than a brochure site.

Staging copies

A private copy of your live site for testing updates and plugins before they go live.

Headless WordPress

WordPress as a content API for a separate front end built with React, Next.js or similar.

Root access with a real team behind it

Frequently asked questions

Can I host several WordPress sites on one VPS?

Yes. Each site gets its own virtual host and database, or you can use WordPress Multisite. How many fit depends on traffic and plugins rather than a fixed limit; VPS Standard or Pro suits most multi-site setups.

Is there a control panel?

The free setup does not include a control panel: you manage WordPress from its dashboard and the server over SSH. If you want cPanel, choose our Managed cPanel VPS instead.

Can you move my existing WordPress site?

Yes. Migration is custom work, billed from $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour.

Who updates WordPress and plugins?

You do, from the WordPress dashboard, as on any self-managed server. Our engineers can apply updates for you at the same rates if you prefer.

Is the WordPress setup really free?

Yes. Once your VPS is active, open a Technical Support ticket from the client area and our engineers do a basic WordPress setup with standard settings at no extra cost. Custom work, such as moving an existing site or configuring WooCommerce, is billed from $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour.

How fast is the VPS ready?

Deployment is automated: our control panel creates the VPS in about a minute once the order is approved, and some new orders are checked by our team first. The login details arrive by email and the VPS appears in your client area.

Where are the servers?

These KVM VPS plans run in our USA data centre. Each VPS has one IPv4 address and unmetered bandwidth.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. A VPS is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee on your first purchase of that service at Ucartz. The full conditions are in section 8 of our Terms and Conditions.

Do I get root access?

Yes. You get full root access over SSH, plus the Virtualizor panel in your client area for reboots, the VNC console and OS reinstalls.

Is support included with a self-managed WordPress VPS?

Yes. Free Basic Managed Support is included with every WordPress VPS: complimentary, best-effort help with quick tasks of about 5 minutes, such as access and console checks, OS reinstalls, DNS pointing and first-level troubleshooting.

What if I need help beyond basic support?

Hire an engineer on demand, from $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour, or choose a monthly plan. There is no contract, so you can switch the extra support off whenever you like.

Can you install n8n, Docker or an AI model on my WordPress VPS?

Yes. We install and configure n8n, Docker, Portainer, private LLMs such as Ollama, and most open-source software, then hand the setup over to you.
