Overview

Fully-managed WordPress hosting — NevTan provisions and runs the WordPress and MySQL containers for you.

NevTan WordPress is fully-managed, one-click WordPress hosting: pick a subdomain in the console, and we provision a WordPress site backed by a dedicated MySQL database, wire up networking, and hand you a live install — no servers, containers, or database setup on your side.

Why managed WordPress instead of a custom deploy

App Platform can run WordPress from a repo like any other app, but that means you own the Dockerfile, the database, updates, and every moving part in between. The WordPress product removes all of that:

  • One-click install — enter a subdomain in the console and NevTan provisions a ready-to-use WordPress site. No Dockerfile, no image to build, no database to stand up yourself.
  • Managed WordPress + MySQL — every site pairs a WordPress app container with its own private MySQL database, provisioned and networked together automatically.
  • Managed resources — resize CPU/RAM for both containers together from one Resources screen, instead of tuning an app and a database independently.
  • Purpose-built for content sites — ideal for blogs, marketing sites, and small-to-medium business sites where you want WordPress itself, not a custom container pipeline.

How it works

Each site runs as two containers we manage for you — a WordPress app container and a private MySQL database container. You choose a subdomain (or attach a custom domain), pick a resource preset, and NevTan handles provisioning, networking, and lifecycle. The site's page in the console shows live provisioning status until it's ready to visit.

What's taken care of for you

  • The WordPress ↔ MySQL pairing — the database is created, credentials wired in, and networking between the two containers configured automatically. You never fill in a database host or password field yourself.
  • The underlying environment — no server, container image, or runtime for you to patch or replace. NevTan owns the WordPress and MySQL containers as a unit; you own the site content and configuration inside them.
  • Resource pairing — WordPress and MySQL are always resized together from one Resources screen, so the app and its database never drift out of proportion with each other.
  • Domain and TLS setup — attaching a custom domain follows the same verify-then-issue flow as App Platform, so certificates are handled for you once DNS checks out.

Managed WordPress vs. a DIY deploy on App Platform

Site lifecycle

A site moves through the same shape every time — check a name is free, create it from the console, wait for provisioning, then manage it going forward.

Quickstart

  1. 1
    Check a subdomain
    Type the name you want into the Create Site form — the console tells you instantly whether it's free.
  2. 2
    Create the site
    Pick a resource preset and click Create. NevTan provisions the WordPress and MySQL containers together.
  3. 3
    Watch it go live
    The site's page shows provisioning status in real time. Once it reports ready, open the site at its subdomain.

Sites live in a project like anything else on NevTan, so the same account, workspace, and role rules apply — see Organizing your work.
