WordPress is a content management system (CMS) used to create and manage websites.
It allows you to build and update a website without writing code.

WordPress runs on Web Hosting or Site Hosting and uses PHP and a database.

What WordPress Is Used For #

WordPress is commonly used for:

• Business websites
• Blogs
• Portfolio websites
• Small to medium company sites
• Content-driven websites

It is flexible and widely supported.

How WordPress Works #

WordPress consists of:

• Core WordPress software
• Themes that control design
• Plugins that add functionality
• A database that stores content and settings

Visitors see pages generated dynamically when they visit your site.

WordPress at ProRedLine #

At ProRedLine:

• WordPress is not installed automatically
• WP Toolkit is always available in cPanel
• Customers install WordPress manually via WP Toolkit

No website is created unless the customer chooses to install one.

WordPress Installation Behavior #

When you install WordPress using WP Toolkit:

• A clean, empty WordPress installation is created
• No demo content is added
• One custom ProRedLine helper plugin is included
• You control where and how WordPress is installed

This avoids unwanted websites or files.

What WordPress Is Not #

WordPress is not:

• A hosting service
• Automatically installed by default
• A drag-and-drop builder by itself
• A replacement for hosting or DNS
• A maintenance-free system

WordPress requires ongoing management.

WordPress vs Static Websites #

WordPress:

• Uses PHP and a database
• Allows easy content updates
• Requires updates and maintenance

Static websites:

• Use only HTML, CSS and files
• Do not require databases
• Are simpler but less flexible

Both are supported on Web Hosting.

Responsibilities When Using WordPress #

When you use WordPress, you are responsible for:

• Installing WordPress if you want to use it
• Updating WordPress core, plugins and themes
• Securing your website
• Managing content and backups

ProRedLine provides the platform, not website management.

When WordPress Is a Good Choice #

WordPress is a good choice if:

• You want to manage content yourself
• You need flexibility and plugins
• You plan to update your site regularly

It may not be ideal for very simple or static sites.
