What I built

WPHost sells managed WordPress hosting to site owners who do not want to run a server. I built the platform behind it: provisioning, billing and the customer side.

A new order creates a WordPress site with LiteSpeed Cache already configured. Customers get a staging copy of their site and a simplified admin screen in place of cPanel, and WHMCS handles invoices and renewals.

The challenge

Give non-technical site owners WordPress hosting without exposing them to cPanel.

How I solved it

Automated WordPress provisioning with LiteSpeed Cache configured.
Staging environments for each site.
A customer admin screen that replaces cPanel for everyday tasks.

The outcome

Site owners order managed WordPress hosting and get a cached site, a staging copy and a simple panel, with billing handled in WHMCS.
