Deploy WordPress on Kubernetes
Run WordPress on Kubernetes with Wodby’s managed WordPress stack. Keep deployments repeatable, handle traffic growth more cleanly, and manage multiple WordPress projects with a more consistent hosting model.
Deploy WordPress faster with a managed stack
Start from a WordPress stack built for Kubernetes instead of piecing together services, deployment logic, and runtime configuration manually.
Use Kubernetes for scalable WordPress hosting
Run WordPress with a managed stack that supports cleaner scaling, better service isolation, and more repeatable deployments across environments.
Keep operations simpler across multiple sites
Use built-in releases, backups, SSL, and environment management so your team can handle WordPress hosting with less repetitive infrastructure work.
Why run WordPress on Kubernetes?
Kubernetes gives WordPress teams a more scalable and standardized hosting model, especially when traffic patterns vary or multiple projects need to be managed consistently.
Wodby packages WordPress as a managed stack so agencies and businesses can adopt Kubernetes without building a custom operations layer around every site.
A practical fit for WordPress workloads
- Keep web, PHP runtime, cache, and database services organized in a managed stack.
- Scale for traffic spikes, campaigns, and content-heavy workloads more cleanly.
- Use a repeatable deployment model across staging and production environments.
- Reduce manual work around SSL, backups, upgrades, and infrastructure operations.
What you get with Wodby
- Managed WordPress stack for Kubernetes-based deployments
- Built-in CI/CD and image build workflow
- Automated backups and imports for safer releases and migrations
- Managed SSL certificates and domain setup
- Flexible scaling and resource controls
- Open, portable infrastructure via Wodby’s platform model
Connect the Kubernetes provider you already use
Run WordPress on managed Kubernetes from your cloud account for a flexible, scalable foundation that is easier to upgrade and well suited for high-availability architectures. If you need a lower cost option, choose a lean K3S setup on a dedicated server and still keep a Kubernetes-based workflow.
Budget option: K3S on a dedicated server
For smaller WordPress portfolios, agency hosting, and cost-sensitive projects, Wodby can run on a dedicated server from providers such as Hetzner and OVH using K3S, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution.
This keeps WordPress hosting more affordable while preserving a Kubernetes-based workflow. You can run many WordPress sites on one server and make better use of shared infrastructure across projects.
Read more in our blog post about affordable Kubernetes with K3S.
Managed Kubernetes for growth and high availability
Managed Kubernetes is the stronger option when your WordPress hosting needs more flexibility, easier scaling, and better operational resilience.
It is easier to upgrade, better suited for high availability, and gives you a more robust path as site traffic, project count, and service requirements grow.

Suitable for agencies, publishers, and multi-site WordPress hosting
If you manage multiple WordPress sites, need repeatable hosting environments, or want a more scalable deployment model, this setup is built for that pattern.
Wodby gives WordPress teams a managed stack on Kubernetes while keeping room for customization and infrastructure growth over time.

See what our customers say about their experience with Wodby.
We moved our Drupal hosting to use Wodby and changed our development workflow to use Docker at the same time. Now we can concentrate on Drupal development and we're not losing time configuring servers etc. When a site needs additional resources or hosting in a different region we can be way more responsive as deploying a new instance takes no time at all.
Tony MillerDirector at Eighty Options
Wodby’s innovative infrastructure helped us to increase the speed and simplify our app deployment, while also leaving us the freedom of handling our hosting and not locking us on a specific pattern. We are now much more robust for future growth and will be able to innovate faster.
