Frequently asked about WordOps
Does WordOps cost anything?
WordOps is completely free. It's open source software you install on your own Ubuntu VPS — there are no licensing fees, subscriptions, or renewal costs. You only pay for the VPS infrastructure itself, which you source separately.
What is WordOps and who should use it?
WordOps is a command-line tool that automates WordPress server setup on Ubuntu VPS. It configures Nginx, PHP-FPM, Redis caching, and SSL automatically. It's best for developers, agencies, and sysadmins comfortable with Linux who want full control and minimal overhead.
Does WordOps include WordPress migration or backups?
No. WordOps is a server stack tool, not a hosting platform. It doesn't handle site migration or automated daily backups. You manage those separately — either manually or with third-party backup plugins.
Does WordOps provide customer support?
WordOps has no phone or live chat support. It's community-driven open source software. Help comes from documentation, GitHub issues, and community forums. You're responsible for server administration and troubleshooting.
Can I use WordOps on any VPS?
WordOps runs on Ubuntu VPS only — it's not compatible with CentOS, Debian, or other Linux distributions. You provision an Ubuntu VPS from any provider (AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, etc.), then install and configure WordOps on it yourself.
