Create a site
Check subdomain availability, then create a managed WordPress site and watch it provision from the console.
Creating a site is two steps in one form: confirm the subdomain is available, then submit it to provision the WordPress and MySQL containers. There is no separate "install WordPress" step — NevTan boots a fully-configured install for you.
Open Create Site
From the WordPress section of the dashboard, click Create Site to open the form.
Fill in the form
- 1Choose a subdomainType the name you want. The console checks it against existing sites as you type and shows whether it's available.
- 2Pick a resource presetChoose the CPU/RAM tier for the WordPress and MySQL containers — see Resources for what each tier includes.
- 3Click CreateNevTan provisions the WordPress container and its dedicated MySQL database together, and takes you to the new site's page.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Subdomainrequired | text field | The subdomain to host the site under. The form flags the name as taken if it isn't free. |
Resource preset | dropdown | CPU/RAM preset applied to the WordPress and MySQL containers. Defaults to the starter tier. |
Watch it provision
Provisioning happens in the background. The site's page shows a live status — from provisioning to running — and your dashboard lists every site you've created alongside its current status.
Picking a preset up front
The preset you choose at creation isn't permanent — it's just a starting point. A low-traffic blog or a site you're still building out is fine on the starter tier; anything you expect to get real visitor traffic, run several plugins, or serve a media-heavy theme is worth sizing up, since WordPress and MySQL will share whatever CPU and RAM the preset gives them. See Resources for how to change it later without recreating the site.
