❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I deploy WordPress Pete instead of a plain WordPress install?

A: Pete automates migration, SSL, backups, and Laravel integration—making it faster and more secure.

Q: Do I need Docker or VirtualBox?

Q: Which cloud or OS is the cheapest to start with?

A: For production, Oracle Cloud’s Always Free Tier and Google Cloud’s $300 credits are great starting points. For local development, Ubuntu is the lightest option, but Pete works seamlessly on MacOS and Windows too.
