Safe and fast hosting for WordPress in Ukraine

At the moment, there’s no ‘right’ configuration as everything will depend on the VPS server capacity, the chosen control panel and the structure of the website. There is a chance to fine tune the server parameters on VPS since you can use root access. When the site works under the WordPress CMS, there are some basic recommendations as far as server configuration goes: Apache + Nginx (processing Fcgi / php-FPM); MySQL (MariaDB 10.1); using the php 7.3 (7.4) version with additional opcache and memcache (memcached) modules; сonfiguring the caching service (memcached | redis) and using caching plugins on the basis of the given server. You can always reach out to our tech support to receive professional advice in regard to VPS server configuration so that your website needs are well met.

The main advantage of the given server is the prebuilt type of the LiteSpeed web server which allows you to use its LSCache function. LSCache is directly installed into the web server which allows you to use the caching principle more effectively. Using the functions that resemble the work of mod_cache, LScache partially processes both static and dynamic content which lowers the load on the CPU of the server. As a result, the average website response time decreases. To use the LSCache plugin, you need to install it to WordPress and complete the configuration of the plugin. Also, the server has the WordPress Manager panel function which allows you to change the password of the website administration panel and the password of the database via the cPanel control panel.

The website consists of: website file structure, database. The configuration file of the given CMS is located in the root directory of the website and has a name which is wp-config.php. The DB_NAME | DB_USER | DB_PASSWORD parameters correspond to the database name, the user name of the database and the database user password. You can use these data to receive access to the very database of the website in order to create the damp (a file which will contain the table of the database structure and the data of the database) in the .sql format. For full transfer, we create a new database on the server and execute the import of the database damp into this new database. Upload the website files to the website root directory on the server using FTP. In the wp-config.php file, write new parameters to connect to the database. Next, check and, if necessary, change the website root directory in the website files and database.

Managed hosting is the principle on which the hosting provider’s structure is built and configured. In other words, fully managed hosting implies that the hosting provider takes care of everything. The hosting provider supports and updates the machine and system part of the servers, executes and improves the monitoring system of all server functions. In the case of system breakdown, the hosting provider is responsible for the removal of system and machine defects. Additionally, the principle of managed hosting implies that backup copies of a website are created and stored for a certain period of time. Managed WordPress hosting from Hostpro uses and follows this principle of the managed hosting structure.
