Signup in Vultr with ORIV Promo

To get started with the free hosting offer, head over to Vultr.com and sign up for a new account. During the registration process, you’ll need to link a valid credit card or a verified PayPal account to activate your account and be eligible for the $100 promotional credit. As part of the validation, Vultr will place a **small temporary authorization** on your credit card—approximately **$2.50 USD**—to verify your payment method. This charge is not permanent and will be automatically reversed by your bank, although depending on your bank’s policy, it might take up to 30 days for the funds to be released. If you choose to verify using PayPal, note that Vultr requires a minimum payment of $5.00 USD** for validation. Additionally, PayPal must be linked to a **valid credit card or bank account** to complete this verification process. Once your payment method is verified and your account is deemed eligible, the **$100 in free credits will be automatically applied to your account. Make sure to use the promo code “ORIV25” during the sign-up to claim this offer. Note: If you already have a Vultr account then please skip this step and check how to collect API from Vultr.

Step 4: Create A New Free Site

Once your server is connected, you can create a site from the Dashboard or Site List by clicking on the button “Create New Site”. Then you will need to select the server on which you want to install your WordPress website. As we will be creating a fresh WordPress site choose the “Install New WordPress Website” options as shown below.

Now all you have to do is install and Go Live with your WordPress Site. You can do the next process with 3 simple and easy steps.

[!NOTE] Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em support@oriv.cloud.

1. Add a Site Title
2. Add Tags if you want
3. Choose to Go Live
4. DNS Configuration: If you add the domain and want to visit the live site you need to configure your DNS. ORIV does not handle your DNS but all you need to do is remove any existing A records and add the A record as shown above. For example, if your domain is on Cloudflare then all you need to do is add an A record with the domain name, and your server IP address.

[!NOTE] Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em support@oriv.cloud.

To use a Free SSL certificate by Let’s Encrypt simply turn on the HTTPS enable button and ORIV will automatically set everything for you. Note: Make sure you have pointed your domain to the server with A record and turn off the proxy of Cloudflare. You can then simply hit the Next Button to create your site and Go Live instantly.

​

Configure Advanced Settings

By default, the WordPress admin credentials are autogenerated to speed up the site creation process. As soon as your site is deployed you will receive your Site credentials on your email address. Later on, you can update your password if needed. From “More Advanced Settings” you can update the default Admin Username, Admin Password, Admin Email Address, etc. along with other additional settings from here.

After the previous step, click on the ‘Next’ button. It might take only 1-2 minutes to create your WordPress site.

Not Ready Yet? Try Staging Environment

Also, If you do not want to point your domain yet then ORIV offers temporary domains to make your site live with every Site creation method available in ORIV. For that select the Staging Environment option.

​

Step 5: Configure Email Address for your WP Site

For users on managed hosting services like WPEngine, Runcloud, and Cloudways, email providers like Office 365, GSuite, and MXroute are commonly used. If you are migrating from cPanel/Plesk, new email hosting is needed. ORIV doesn’t automatically include email setup for your sites. WordPress often requires reliable transactional email delivery, but default systems can fail, causing spam or delivery issues. Using services like Mailgun for efficient email delivery is recommended. The process of setting up and configuring Mailgun for WordPress can be found below. 👉 Setting Up Site Emails For WordPress ON ORIV That’s it!
