WordPress Hosting
Host WordPress with Wodby using a managed stack and a Kubernetes-based runtime. Wodby Cloud is Wodby’s hosted cluster option for teams that do not want to run the cluster in their own cloud account or on their own server.
Wodby Cloud gives you persistent Wodby-hosted clusters billed by resource usage. Managed Kubernetes stays available when you need scaling; self-hosted Kubernetes is the budget path on your own servers, starting with one server.
Managed WordPress stack
Deploy WordPress on a production-ready stack instead of hand-building the environment and workflow around it.
No separate cluster to bring
Use Wodby Cloud when you want the Wodby workflow without running the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.
Alternative infrastructure paths
Use managed Kubernetes when you need scaling, or self-hosted Kubernetes on one server when budget hosting is the priority.
In production
How Wodby runs WordPress in production
A WordPress site on Wodby runs on PHP behind Nginx with MariaDB, shared storage for content, and cache and mail services. The runtime generates the WordPress configuration from the environment, including the site address.
Site address follows the primary URL
The WordPress home address and site address are taken from the primary URL of the app environment whenever the configuration is generated.
HTTPS behind the proxy
The generated configuration includes reverse-proxy handling, which lets WordPress recognize HTTPS requests and see the original address of the visitor.
Keys, salts, and table prefix
Authentication keys and salts are generated for the site and remain stable. The table prefix is read from a variable and falls back to the usual WordPress prefix when it is not set.
Content on shared storage
WordPress content is stored on shared persistent storage provided by the stack. Files are brought in with application imports, and SQL data with database imports.
Tracing WordPress requests
Once the OpenTelemetry Collector is enabled, adding the OpenTelemetry PHP SDK through Composer is enough for it to start with no code changes. Request tracing needs the WordPress auto-instrumentation package too.
Read the WordPress stack guide for setup steps, settings, and limits.
Moving an existing WordPress application?
Ask your coding agent to read the repository, match the application to maintained Wodby services, and list what has to change. Review the plan before anything is created or moved.
Wodby Cloud for managed WordPress hosting
If you do not want to use your own Kubernetes cluster or server, Wodby Cloud is the most direct way to host WordPress on Wodby. It lets you deploy to a persistent Wodby-hosted cluster billed according to the resources you actually use.
That makes Wodby Cloud especially useful for agencies and businesses that manage multiple WordPress sites and want a simpler, more repeatable hosting model without needing their own cloud account, cluster, or server setup.
Why start with Wodby Cloud
- No need to set up your own cloud account, Kubernetes cluster, or server before deploying WordPress.
- Persistent Wodby-hosted clusters billed hourly as Wodby Cloud usage.
- Paid plans include $30 of Wodby Cloud per month.
- Good fit for WordPress sites, portfolios, and agency hosting on the platform.

More than hosting for WordPress
Wodby Cloud gives you the platform around the stack, not just a place to run it. Teams can manage environments, delivery flow, and day-to-day operations in one system instead of combining separate hosting and deployment tools.
That means the value on these hosting pages is both managed infrastructure and a repeatable application platform for ongoing work.
What you get from the platform
- Managed WordPress stack with services that work together out of the box.
- Environment management for production, staging, and development.
- Integrated CI/CD with deployment history and automatic rollback attempts.
- Managed routing and endpoints, automatic HTTPS, backups, and imports.
- Controlled automatic updates and app service controls for ongoing maintenance.
Alternative hosting options when you want to own the infrastructure
Managed Kubernetes
Managed Kubernetes is the stronger option when WordPress workloads need more flexible scaling, easier upgrades, and better support for high-availability architectures.
Budget self-hosted Kubernetes
Self-hosted Kubernetes on your own dedicated servers is the more affordable option for smaller WordPress portfolios that do not need autoscaling. You can host many WordPress sites on one server, add worker nodes as you grow, and still use a Kubernetes-based operating model.
Read more on the self-hosted Kubernetes page.
Who this is for
Agencies, publishers, and businesses running several WordPress sites usually get the clearest value from starting on Wodby Cloud because it keeps hosting operations simpler.
If infrastructure ownership matters more later, the same stack can move to managed Kubernetes in your own account or to a self-hosted Kubernetes setup on your own servers.

Managed hosting
Ready to run WordPress on Wodby Cloud?
Start with Wodby's managed WordPress stack and get environments, delivery workflow, and day-to-day operations in one hosted platform.
Integrations
Keep third-party integrations organized and under control across all of your apps and environments
Connect services once and reuse them across your apps. Keep credentials out of repositories, manage configuration centrally, and override values for each environment.
Connect the services your apps already use
Caching with Vinyl
The WordPress stack includes Vinyl (Varnish) Cache as a built-in service for straightforward page and HTTP caching in front of WordPress.
That helps reduce response times and absorb traffic spikes more efficiently without forcing WordPress and PHP to handle every anonymous request directly.
Next step
Want to see what the WordPress stack includes first?
Review the services in the stack, then create an account to run WordPress on Wodby Cloud with environments, deployments, and stack operations managed from one place.
Object caching with Redis
The stack also includes Redis for object caching. Connect WordPress to Redis with a compatible Redis object cache plugin to reduce repeated database work and improve performance for cache-heavy sites.
This is especially useful for dynamic WordPress workloads where faster object caching can lower database load and make the application more responsive under sustained traffic.

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 MillerEighty 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.
