Can I install a WordPress blog this way?

Hi, I have a website hosted by DO. I want to know if I can install a WordPress blog under my hosting plan. I need to know if my server has PHP and MySQL, and I’ll need FTP access and the ability to create a new MySQL database for my blog. Can you let me know if that is possible?

  • Hi there! You have to ask the person who has access to the server that hosts your website.

You receive full root access to all droplets you create and can configure whatever software you want. We also offer a pre-configured Wordpress image so you can launch your droplet with WordPress already installed and configured and simply import your content.


DigitalOcean isn't a traditional hosting company. They provide unmanaged servers. They do have a server image that comes with a WordPress site pre-installed:

Your other option would be to use a service such as ServerPilot to manage your DigitalOcean server:

The combination of DigitalOcean + ServerPilot will give you a WordPress hosting experience like a traditional host but with a super fast VPS configured and managed properly.
