WordPress on your VPS, with backups and simple moves

Install WordPress, a WooCommerce store or Elementor on any ArduMaker VPS, with HTTPS from the first minute. Bring your current site by uploading the backup from All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator or UpdraftPlus, take a full backup in one click and try changes on a copy before publishing them. And you can ask your AI agent to do all of it.

  • WooCommerce and Elementor
  • Bring your site in one step
  • One-click backup
  • Staging and rollback
  • Your agent does it all

Here's what it looks like in the panel

Everything a WordPress site needs, on your server

It runs natively, with its backup one click away, and it's yours because it's your VPS.

  • Four ways to start: Plain WordPress, a WooCommerce store, the Elementor editor, or store plus Elementor. You pick at install.
  • Native, no containers: PHP-FPM with its own pool per site, the VPS's MySQL with one database per site, and nginx with HTTPS.
  • Several sites per server: Each site with its own pool, database and address, on the same VPS.
  • A ready address or your own: An arducloud subdomain with automatic HTTPS, or your own domain. Change it later from the panel and every URL of the site is rewritten.
  • Simple moves: Upload the export from All-in-One WP Migration (.wpress), Duplicator (.zip) or UpdraftPlus and the site is imported at its new address.
  • Big backups, no fuss: Up to 750 MB through the browser. If it's bigger, the panel gives you the rsync or scp command ready to paste, with SSH open for 6 hours.
  • Full backup in one click: Database plus wp-content, stored on the VPS outside the public folder.
  • Restore without fear: Before restoring, a copy of the current state is made. Restore from a backup, from the https URL of a backup or from another site on the same server.
  • Staging and rollback: A copy of the site on the same server with its own address. When it's ready you publish it; if something goes wrong, go back to an earlier backup.
  • Your AI agent, end to end: Over MCP it creates the site, builds the store, edits Elementor, loads products, takes backups and changes the address. No manual steps.

From zero to a published site

  1. Pick the server: In Apps, tap Install, choose WordPress and the VPS it goes on.
  2. Pick the variant: WordPress, WooCommerce, Elementor or store plus Elementor.
  3. New site or brought in: "New site" only asks for the name. "Bring my site" takes the backup from your plugin.
  4. Pick the address: An arducloud subdomain with HTTPS, or your domain.
  5. Take the first backup: One click, and you already have somewhere to go back to.

How it works underneath, and what to keep in mind

  • It runs natively on Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 or 24.04: PHP-FPM, the VPS's MySQL and nginx with HTTPS. It doesn't use Docker.
  • Each site has its own PHP-FPM pool and its own database; several live together on the same VPS.
  • Moving in accepts the All-in-One WP Migration export (.wpress), the Duplicator one (.zip) and the UpdraftPlus files. On import, the URLs move to the new address and the ArduMaker admin is kept.
  • Up to 750 MB go through the browser. If it's bigger, it's sent straight to the server with rsync or scp: the panel opens SSH for 6 hours and "I sent it" checks that it arrived whole.
  • The backup stores the database and wp-content on the same VPS, outside the public folder.
  • Every restore first makes a copy of the current state: if it wasn't what you wanted, you go back.
  • You can restore from your own backup, from the https URL of a backup (the native format or that of the three plugins) or from another site on the same server.
  • Staging is another site on the same server with its own address; publishing it means restoring production from that site.
  • Changing the address rewrites every URL of the site.
  • Real root over SSH: the files, the database and wp-cli are still yours.
  • Real root over SSH: the panel is a shortcut, not a cage. Anything it does with a button, you can also do by hand.

Or just ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Everything you see in the panel, your AI agent can do through the ArduMaker MCP server: with your authorization, within the scope you grant, and with every action audited. See what the MCP does

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my site from another host?

Yes. Export it with All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator or UpdraftPlus and upload that file in "Bring my site". It's imported, its URLs move to the new address and the ArduMaker admin stays in place.

What if the backup is bigger than 750 MB?

The panel shows you an rsync or scp command ready to paste and opens SSH for 6 hours. When it's done, "I sent it" checks that the file arrived whole.

How do I take a backup?

With one click: it stores the database and wp-content on the VPS, outside the public folder.

What if a restore goes wrong?

Before restoring, a copy of the current state is made, so you can always go back.

Can I try changes without touching the live site?

Yes, with staging: a copy on the same server with its own address. When it's ready, you publish it by restoring production from that site.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, at install or later. When the address changes, every URL of the site is rewritten.

Can my AI agent do it all?

Yes. Over the ArduMaker MCP it creates the site, installs plugins and themes, edits Elementor, loads WooCommerce products, takes backups, sets up staging and changes the address, all on your VPS. You can do the same by hand from the panel.

Can I have several sites on the same VPS?

Yes. Each one with its own PHP-FPM pool, its own database and its own address.

Does it use Docker?

No. It runs natively with PHP-FPM, the VPS's MySQL and nginx, on Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 or 24.04.

Services that go well together

  • Automatic backups: A full live backup every week, the last 4 kept, and a final copy when you delete the VPS.
  • Domains and SSL: A free subdomain or your own domain with Let's Encrypt, an nginx proxy with rollback, and port forwarding.
  • MySQL: Install MySQL and manage databases, per-host users and permissions without touching the console.
