ShippedWordPress hosting
on Shipped.
Run your WordPress site as your own application. Bring its themes and plugins, connect its data, and keep code releases separate from published content.
Bring the WordPress runtime together
Package WordPress with a suitable PHP server, the extensions it needs, and your selected themes and plugins. Deploy that container as a web service and connect your domain. Shipped runs the application infrastructure while you retain responsibility for WordPress administration, plugin choices, and application updates.
Connect the database WordPress expects
Connect a compatible MySQL or MariaDB database for your WordPress content and settings. Keep its connection details in private configuration and use a separate staging copy when checking a migration. PostgreSQL is not a direct replacement for a standard WordPress database, so choose the database engine your site actually requires.
Keep media and editorial work persistent
Posts, settings, and media must survive a code deployment. Use durable media storage with a compatible WordPress integration and plan backups for both the database and uploaded files. When moving a site, test content URLs, login, forms, and scheduled behavior before pointing the public domain at its new home.

Questions about WordPress?
Can WordPress use the managed PostgreSQL service unchanged?
Standard WordPress expects MySQL or MariaDB. Use a compatible database; do not assume a PostgreSQL connection can replace it.
Will uploading a WordPress container preserve my media?
The container holds the application release. Configure persistent media storage and a compatible integration so uploads are not lost when that release is replaced.
