Terms and support boundaries
Infrastructure and support limits
Our company provides the Virtual Private Server infrastructure and the automation script for initial deployment. While we guarantee the availability and performance of your hardware and network, our technical support exclusively covers infrastructure-related issues – such as server connectivity, hardware stability, and billing. Assistance with application-specific configuration, software bugs, or user management is the responsibility of the server administrator or software maintainers.
Software licensing and compliance
All marketplace tools deploy standard versions of third-party software products and are provided "as-is" with no modifications to their original code. While the core of many available applications is open-source, using proprietary features or advanced enterprise tiers in production environments may be subject to the vendor's specific licensing terms. Users must manage and acquire any required commercial subscriptions directly from the software developers.
FAQ
-
Do I need a license to run WordPress or OpenLiteSpeed?
No. WordPress is released under GPLv2 or later, and OpenLiteSpeed under GPLv3 – no paid tiers, site limits, or feature restrictions in either. You only pay the standard virtual server invoice.
-
How do I log in after deployment?
Open your site's URL – WordPress greets you with its setup wizard, where you pick a site title and create the primary admin account yourself. The OpenLiteSpeed WebAdmin console runs on port 7080 – sign in as admin with the generated password shown at SSH login and saved to /root/credentials.txt.
-
How do I get a valid SSL certificate?
The server ships with a self-signed certificate enabled by default. To issue a free Let's Encrypt certificate for your own domain, point its A record at the server, connect over SSH, and run the setup-ssl script – it issues the certificate, switches WordPress to the new URL, and schedules automatic renewal.
-
Can I migrate my existing WordPress site?
Yes. Export the database and copy your wp-content directory, or use any backup plugin's migration mode. WP-CLI is already on the server, so importing the dump and running a search-replace for the new URL takes a few commands.
-
How are updates handled?
WordPress applies minor security releases automatically and shows major updates in the dashboard – or run them with WP-CLI. OpenLiteSpeed, PHP, and MariaDB update through apt from their repositories. You have full root access and decide when to apply anything.
-
Will my Apache .htaccess rules work?
Mostly. OpenLiteSpeed understands Apache mod_rewrite syntax and loads rewrite rules straight from .htaccess, so WordPress pretty permalinks and typical redirect rules work as expected. One difference from Apache: rules load at server start, so after enabling permalinks or editing .htaccess, restart OpenLiteSpeed once with systemctl restart lsws. Other Apache directives are not supported.
-
How do I enable page caching?
Install the free LiteSpeed Cache plugin from the WordPress plugin directory. It talks directly to OpenLiteSpeed's built-in cache module, so full pages are served from the server cache without executing PHP – no external cache service to set up.
-
What if my traffic grows?
Upgrade CPU, RAM, or storage of your VPS as your audience grows – no reinstallation needed. Watch RAM first for PHP workers and MariaDB, and keep an eye on disk if the media library fills up quickly; revisit your plan when you approach the tier descriptions above.
