Get WordPress running in minutes
Install WordPress from the VPSnet Applications catalog, claim secrets in the panel, open when HTTPS is ready, and finish initial setup in the app — without SSH as the default path.
Order a server and install
Order Cloud VPS or VDS, or open an existing service. Install WordPress from Applications — safe defaults apply when the recipe allows.
Claim one-time secrets in the panel
Usernames and passwords appear once in the VPSnet panel after install. Copy them when the credentials window opens — they are never emailed.
Open when HTTPS is ready
Most apps use managed HTTPS on a *.vpsnet.cloud host. Wait until the certificate is active, then Open URL from the panel — certificate pending is not an install failure.
Complete initial setup in the app
Sign in with the secrets you claimed (or finish the in-app admin wizard). Complete one real job for WordPress. If you enabled Optional packs at install, finish each pack’s first-run inside the app. Restart, logs, update, and uninstall stay in the Applications panel.

How to install WordPress on VPSnet
Launch managed WordPress on your VPS with HTTPS and one-time admin secrets in the Applications panel.
- 01. Order a server that fits WordPressCheck the WordPress product page for minimum and recommended vCPU, RAM, and disk. Order Cloud VPS or VPS, or reuse a server with free capacity. Install at order time or later from Applications.
- 02. Install WordPress from ApplicationsService → Applications → WordPress → Install. Choose VPSnet HTTPS unless you need another access mode. Expand Additional settings for the site title and Optional packs. If a customer-editable password field is offered, enter your own strong value or leave it empty for VPSnet to generate a random one.
- 03. Optional plugin packs are pinned versionsWhen Additional settings shows Optional packs, each checkbox is a pinned plugin — Contact Form 7 6.0.2, Rank Math 1.0.242, or WooCommerce 9.6.2. All default off. This is not the open WordPress marketplace; Plugins → Add New stays blocked.
- 04. Claim one-time secretsAfter install, the Applications panel shows the admin username and password once. Copy them into your password manager before you close the dialog — they are never emailed.
Managed WordPress on VPSnet is a catalog recipe (images, healthchecks, HTTPS) — not unmanaged LAMP on the host. Custom PHP modules or host-level cron that the product page does not list are out of scope.
