Still afraid to switch to VPS?

Command line operations. Install many things manually like web server, MySQL, PHP and so on.

These issues sound familiar to a VPS novice like you, right?

With the philosophy of making it easy to create websites on the NGINX web server, the most popular web server, Rahul Bansal created EasyEngine .

Actually, when I first switched to VPS, I found EasyEngine very easy to use. The commands are very intuitive, concise and easy to remember.

So if you are planning to switch to VPS, I recommend you to use it to build a WordPress website.

EasyEngine only supports Ubuntu/Debian operating systems. It does not support CentOS.
