Overview

What is WordPress?

WordPress powers a huge share of the web for a reason: an editor anyone can use, tens of thousands of plugins and themes, and twenty years of answers to every question you'll ever have. This template deploys the real, open-source WordPress — the one where nothing is locked away.

That's the catch with hosted WordPress.com: plugins, themes and monetisation sit behind plan tiers, so the platform's biggest strength — its ecosystem — is exactly what you're paying to unlock. Self-hosted WordPress has no tiers: every plugin, every theme, your ads and your analytics, from day one.

On livemy.app you pick the WordPress template, click deploy, and the famous five-minute install is more like two — with the database, storage and SSL already handled. Point your domain at it and start publishing.

Why deploy here

Same app, no meter running

These tools are free and open source. What you normally pay for is someone else's server — and their pricing page.

Every plugin, no paywall

WordPress.com gates plugins and themes behind plan tiers. Self-hosted WordPress opens the whole ecosystem from the first minute.

Your site, your rules

Run ads, inject code, pick any theme, export anytime — the site and its database live on your server, not on a platform's terms.

No maintenance rabbit hole

SSL, storage and redeploys are handled for you. Plugin and core updates run from the WordPress admin as usual — no server to log into.

How it works

Three steps, about two minutes

01

Pick the WordPress template

Choose it from the gallery. Nothing to download, nothing to configure — the template already knows how WordPress should run.

02

Click deploy

livemy.app builds it and gives you a live URL with SSL. Storage is attached automatically, so your data survives every restart.

03

Make it yours

Connect a custom domain and redeploy anytime in one click — from the dashboard, or triggered over MCP by the AI tool you already use.

FAQ

Self-hosting WordPress, answered

How much does it cost to self-host WordPress?
Free to try — the Free plan is $0 and gives you one project on a livemy.site subdomain. Maker is $10/mo and adds a custom domain, 10 GB and a 99.5% uptime SLA; Pro is $25/mo. Daily backups are a $5/mo add-on — recommended for a site you publish on.
Can I install any plugin and theme?
Yes — this is stock, self-hosted WordPress. The full plugin and theme directories work, plus anything you upload yourself. No plan tier decides what you're allowed to install.
Can I move an existing WordPress site here?
Yes — the standard route works: export from your current host with a migration plugin, import on your new instance, then point your domain at the project. livemy.app issues the SSL certificate automatically.
Is self-hosted WordPress hard to maintain?
The hosting part is handled — database, storage, SSL and redeploys. WordPress itself updates core and plugins from its own admin panel, the same way it does on any host. The one habit worth keeping: backups before big changes — that's the $5/mo add-on.
