Create Empty Environment
Create a clean stack with no WordPress — for developers and custom installs
An empty environment gives you the full hosting stack — PHP, database, server, and a domain — but no WordPress: no themes, plugins, or content. It's a clean slate, ideal for developers doing a custom install or as a target for restoring a backup into.

- Go to Sites → Create New Site.
- Under Choose a starting point, select Empty Site (instead of Full Site).
- Fill in the rest exactly like a new site: Site Name, Domain, PHP Version, Storage Limit, and Region.
- Click Create Site.
MagicWP provisions the empty stack in the background; watch the Sites list for it to go Live.
What you get
A running environment with no WordPress installed — ready for you to:
