Introduction

Staatic Cloud provides the best experience with Staatic and allows you to setup your static WordPress site in a matter of minutes.

Every site on Staatic Cloud includes a managed WordPress instance from where you can manage and publish your WordPress site. The published static site is hosted on our highly scalable platform and distributed over multiple regions to provide the highest performance from wherever your visitors are located.

Adding your first site

In order to get started with Staatic Cloud, you will first need to add a site to your account.

1. Go to app.staatic.com and login with your account details.
2. Click Account > Sites. Then click Create Site.
3. Enter a Name to identify your site later on.
4. Choose a Primary Language for your site. The chosen language is used both to improve form submission validation and search indexing.
5. Optionally enter a Initial Admin User which will be used to login to your managed WordPress instance.
6. Finish by clicking Create Site.

This will start the process of provisioning your site. The status of this process is visible on the site details page and is updated automatically. It should not take more than a couple of minutes for the process to finish.

As soon as the process has finished provisioning your site, you will be able to access your site, as well as your managed WordPress instance.

Importing an existing WordPress site

If you already have a WordPress site that you want to move into Staatic Cloud, you do not need to start from an empty installation.

Once your managed WordPress instance is available, open the WordPress tab on the site details page and use the built-in import flow to import a supported backup ZIP.

For the complete procedure, supported formats, and post-import steps, see Importing a WordPress Site.

Publishing for the first time

As you will see by visiting your static site, it awaits a first publication from your managed WordPress instance. Starting a publication can be achieved by following these steps.

1. Go to app.staatic.com and login with your account details.
2. Click Account > Sites. Then click on the View Icon next to the relevant site.
3. Click the WordPress tab.
4. Click Login in order to access WordPress Admin.
5. Click Publish within the Staatic menu in the WordPress Admin top toolbar.

Once the publication has finished, access your static site by going back to your site’s details page on app.staatic.com and clicking the site URL within the Site tab.

Note: if you imported an existing WordPress site first, review the imported site in WordPress before starting this first publication.

Note: if you are working with multiple team members, see Team Access for information about permissions and using Login to open WordPress Admin from the Staatic dashboard.
