Creating WordPress sites on a $5/month VPS such as DigitalOcean with EasyEngine is incredibly rapid.
Installing EasyEngine is a single command and then setting up a WordPress site with the following features is another single command.
Features
- NGINX
- HTTP2
- SSL (https) with Let’s Encrypt
- Caching
- PHP 7.0
- MariaDB
Install EasyEngine
wget -qO ee rt.cx/ee && sudo bash ee
Setup the WordPress site
sudo ee site create www.example.com --wpfc --php7 --letsencrypt --user=admin --pass=password --email=email@example.com
The result
I used this to get this current site loading in around half a second which is very pleasing. Let me know if you would like any further detail.
