What is WordPress stack

At TryDirect, we’re not selling WordPress itself.

We’re delivering a production-ready infrastructure that’s built to work from day one.

What you’re really getting is:

• A fully prepared, production-grade environment, not a basic install
• 1–3 days of DevOps work saved, without hiring or setup overhead
• Reduced operational risk through standardized security, stability, and repeatable deployments
• A fast, reliable launch - no manual server setup, no trial-and-error with VPS configuration

This is why our service is fundamentally different from shared hosting or one-click installers.

With TryDirect, WordPress is deployed the way professional teams do it in production - automated, predictable, and ready to scale.

WordPress stack is a suite of web applications and tools which include WordPress itself and a set of preconfigured servers like MySQL, SMTP, NGINX, Memcached, plus, most popular plugins and extensions available on the WordPress market like TotalCache, Wordfence Security, All-In-One-Wp-Migration and more. Additional software such as certbot, phpMyAdmin and other can be automatically installed upon request.

Stack includes

• WordPress
• PHP
• Nginx
• MySQL
• SMTP
• Memcached

Who is using WordPress

WordPress is popular among developers, as it gives their clients more freedom in managing their websites.

What are the benefits of using WordPress stack

• The stack is based on docker containers, which makes it effortlessly portable and scalable
• The application starts up rapidly and is much more performant than on the virtual machine
• A single server can hold more than one container as there are no duplicates of OS for each app
• Memcached, SMTP and certbot are preinstalled
• The stack includes a Status Panel that setups SSL in one click
• Portainer can assist you in managing your containers
• The suite comprises the Linux operating system's preset settings, like tuned network settings, preconfigured swap, etc.
• We offer more secure servers updates than just uploading files via FTP / SFTP

Stack Management Tools

Caveats and known issues

When WordPress deployment is complete and users open the IP of the server in their browser they can see that the home page styles are broken because the domain name is used in NGINX configuration files and it’s not yet pointing to the new server. To fix it you will need to just setup the ”A” record in domain settings at your registrar.
