This solution will:

  • Create an ECS, which will be used for running personal websites and database nodes.
  • Assign an elastic IP address (EIP) and bind it to the ECS to provide external website access.
  • Install WordPress and MySQL on the Linux ECS and complete related configurations.
  • Create a security group and configure security group access rules to ensure personal website security.

Advantages

  • Low cost

    You can select ECSs of different specifications based on your requirements.

  • One-click deployment

    You can create ECSs and deploy personal websites with just a few clicks.

  • Open source and customization

    This solution is open-source and free for commercial use. You can also make custom development based on source code.

Constraints

  • Before deploying this solution, register a HUAWEI ID, enable Huawei Cloud services, and complete real-name authentication. If you select the yearly/monthly billing mode, ensure that your account has sufficient balance. If you do not have sufficient balance, you can go to the Billing Center to manually pay for the order.
  • After this solution is successfully deployed, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to set up a WordPress website. This duration varies depending on ECS specifications and network bandwidth. After the website is set up, you can verify this solution by referring to Initializing WordPress.
