Build powerful WordPress websites without the hassle of database management

WordPress is a widely used content management system (CMS) and is utilized by over 40% of the top 10 million websites globally. Many DigitalOcean users also employ WordPress for their website development. To facilitate ease of use, DigitalOcean offers a WordPress 1-Click App in its Marketplace. The app employs MySQL database to store all website data such as user credentials, posts, comments, etc. Previously, maintaining the MySQL database was the responsibility of users. However, managing MySQL within the 1-Click App has become simpler with the new integration with Managed Databases for MySQL. This service handles provisioning, management, scaling, updates, backups, and security of your database clusters, allowing users to focus on website development. The pricing for Managed MySQL begins at $15 per month. DigitalOcean encourages users to try this new integration between WordPress and Managed MySQL and provide feedback.
