Create New Site

Spin up a new WordPress site from the dashboard

A new site gives you a ready-to-use WordPress install — with sample content and pre-installed themes — on a free *.magicwp.dev domain with HTTPS. Creating one takes a single form and a couple of minutes of provisioning.

Before you start

Creating a site needs an active subscription and a free site slot. If you've used all your slots, upgrade your plan or add an extra-site add-on.

Create the site

Go to Sites → Create New Site and fill in the form:

1. Choose a starting point

Pick Full Site — a complete WordPress install with sample content and standard themes/plugins. (The Empty Site option is for a clean stack with no WordPress — see Create an empty environment.)

2. Site details

  • Site Name — the WordPress site name (shown in the admin and as the site title).
  • Select Domain — the base domain for your free subdomain (e.g. magicwp.net). Your site is reachable at your-name.<domain>; you can connect a custom domain later.

3. Environment

  • PHP Version8.3 is recommended (the default). 8.4, 8.2, 8.1, and 7.4 are also available; you can change it later.
  • WordPress is installed automatically at the latest stable version.

4. Resources

  • Storage Limit (GB) — the disk space for your site (default 10, from 1 to 10000). You can adjust it later in the site's settings.

5. Datacenter region

  • Server Region — pick the region closest to your visitors for the lowest latency (US, EU, Asia Pacific, Canada, Australia, or South America).

Then click Create Site.

What happens next

MagicWP provisions the site in the background — you're taken to the Sites list, where a Creating site badge shows progress. It moves through provisioning (DNS, files, containers, WordPress install) and turns Live in a minute or two.

First login

Once the site is Live, click Magic Login on the Sites list to open wp-admin instantly — no password required. You don't set an admin username or password during creation; WordPress is configured for you. To set an explicit admin password, use WordPress admin password on the site's Tools page.

Ready to go public? Connect your own domain — HTTPS is issued automatically when you do.
