WordPress Self-Host Autopilot — Stop Paying $25-50/Month for Managed Hosting

Sound Familiar?

You're paying $25-50/month for managed WordPress hosting. Meanwhile, Oracle Cloud offers 24GB RAM — for free. Forever.

Shared hosting is slow. Your PageSpeed score is embarrassing. But VPS hosting costs $40+/month, which isn't in the budget.

Your hosting company upsells you on every feature — SSL ($10/mo), backups ($5/mo), staging ($15/mo). Things that should be free, aren't.

You can't install custom plugins because your managed host restricts server access. You're paying for a walled garden.

Every year, your hosting renewal jumps 30-50%. That $3.99/month 'introductory rate' is now $12.99, and you're locked in.

You've thought about self-hosting, but configuring NGINX, PHP, MySQL, SSL, and security from scratch sounds like a nightmare.

There's a Better Way

A Claude Code skill with 27+ commands that guides you through everything: cloud provider setup (Oracle, GCP, AWS, or Azure), native LEMP stack installation (Linux + NGINX + MySQL 8.0 + PHP 8.3), WordPress setup via WP-CLI, Let's Encrypt SSL, security hardening, performance optimization with FastCGI caching, and ongoing management. No Docker required — native stack for maximum performance.

24GB RAM. $0/month. Native LEMP stack. Your server. Forever.
