Hi,
I’m a junior full-stack developer but I’m completely new to WordPress. Is it possible and easy enough to install a WordPress-based site hosted on Render?
Thanks,
John
Hello,
We have a doc Deploy WordPress | Render · Cloud Hosting for Developers that would be a great place to start.
Hi, would I be right in saying this is not part of the free offering which seems to be for static sites only? Thank you!
Hi Maisie,
You are correct that WordPress cannot be deployed for free on Render. This is because WordPress requires a Disk in addition to a MySQL database. The MySQL database itself requires a Starter Plan with a Disk.
One quick clarification: Web Services do have a free tier, not only Static Sites.
Best Regards,
Matt
