No platform can take it down. - -**Elevator pitch:** WebsiteBox gives you a fully working WordPress website on your own server in 45 minutes. No coding required. No content policies to worry about. Fully auditable code — read every line before you buy. One-time purchase options instead of recurring platform fees. - -## Target Audiences (Priority Order) - -### 1. Adult Content Creators -- **Pain:** Major platforms (Tumblr, Instagram, Patreon alt sites) routinely deplatform adult content. Even "adult-friendly" hosts have opaque TOS enforcement. Shared hosting providers can shut down accounts with no warning. -- **Message:** Your content is legal. Your hosting shouldn't be a liability. WebsiteBox deploys on VPS providers with explicit "legal content" policies. You own the server. Nobody can flip a switch. -- **Proof:** Age verification built in. BuyVM recommendation ($3.50/mo, explicit legal-content policy). - -### 2. Journalists & Activists -- **Pain:** Hosted platforms can be pressured by governments or corporations. Data stored on third-party platforms is subject to subpoena/seizure at the platform level. Content moderation policies are opaque and inconsistently applied. -- **Message:** Your words on your server. No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party dependencies. Every line of code is auditable. Your data never leaves your server unless you explicitly send it somewhere. -- **Proof:** Fully auditable code, zero telemetry, all data in one visible directory. - -### 3. Privacy-Conscious Individuals -- **Pain:** WordPress.com, Squarespace, Wix all collect user data, serve tracking scripts, and hold your content hostage behind their platform. -- **Message:** True privacy means true ownership. WebsiteBox doesn't phone home. No analytics. No tracking. No accounts to create with us. You download the code and run it yourself. -- **Proof:** No telemetry claim backed by auditable source code. - -### 4. Free Speech Advocates / Independent Publishers -- **Pain:** Content moderation across platforms is inconsistent and expanding. "Acceptable use" policies shift without notice. -- **Message:** The only content policy is the law. Self-hosting means your site exists as long as your server is paid for. -- **Proof:** VPS-agnostic (works anywhere), content-permissive provider recommendations. - -### 5. Non-Technical Creators Who Want Independence -- **Pain:** Feel locked into Squarespace/Wix because self-hosting seems hard. Don't want to learn Linux/Docker/nginx. -- **Message:** One command. 45 minutes. No coding.

Why self-host?

Platforms giveth, and platforms taketh away.

Deplatforming risk

-

Hosting platforms change their content policies without warning. One day your site is live, the next it's gone — and so is your audience.

No real privacy

-

Your data sits on someone else's servers. They can read it, share it, or hand it over to third parties. Your visitors get tracked by scripts you didn't add.

🔒

Vendor lock-in

Try exporting your Squarespace site to another platform. Your content, your design, your SEO — all trapped behind a proprietary wall.

-

Platform tax

-

$16/month for Squarespace. $8/month for WordPress.com. And they own the server, the data, and the terms. You're renting.

Built for people who need independence

-

WebsiteBox is for anyone who doesn't want a platform between them and their audience.

Your content is legal but platforms don't want it. Self-host on providers with explicit legal-content policies. Built-in age verification handles compliance.

Your words, your server. No platform can be pressured to take you down. Zero telemetry means your data stays where you put it.

All plans require a VPS server ($3.50-6/month) and domain name ($1-12/year). You can audit the full source code before purchasing.

For comparison, platforms that give you less control charge recurring fees: Squarespace $16/mo, WordPress.com $8/mo, Wix $16/mo, GoDaddy $10/mo.

Frequently asked questions

-
-
- Do I need to know how to code? -

No. The install process involves copying one command into a terminal and answering a few questions (your domain name, a username, a password). Everything else is automatic. Our step-by-step guide walks you through every click, including how to open a terminal and what SSH is.

-
-
- What can I host on this? -

Anything legal. WebsiteBox is content-agnostic. It's WordPress under the hood, so you can build portfolios, blogs, galleries, business sites, or anything else WordPress supports. The recommended VPS providers have explicit "legal content" policies — they care about the law, not content type.

-
-
- What if something breaks? -

Automatic backups run daily. If something goes wrong, restore through the WordPress admin panel. The troubleshooting guide covers common issues, and you can open an issue for help.

-
-
- Can I audit the code before I buy? -

Yes. Every file is on our Git repository — the install script, Docker configuration, nginx settings, WordPress setup, all of it. Read every line before you purchase. No black boxes.

-
-
- How is this different from WordPress.com? -

WordPress.com is a hosting service — you rent space on their servers, under their content policies. WebsiteBox puts WordPress on a server you control. No content restrictions beyond the law. No recurring platform fees. No data harvesting. And you can take your site anywhere — it's just a folder on your server.

-
-
- Can I use my own domain? -

Yes — in fact, you need one. WebsiteBox sets up your site on your own domain (like mysite.com) with a free SSL certificate. If you don't have a domain yet, the guide walks you through buying one from registrars like Porkbun (starting around $1/year).

-
-
- What if my VPS provider shuts me down? -

Your entire site is in one folder (websitebox-data/). Back it up, spin up a new server with any other provider, restore, and update your DNS. You're not locked into any single host. The recommended providers (BuyVM, Vultr, OVHcloud) have strong track records with diverse content.

-
-
- How do I update WordPress and plugins? -

WordPress core, themes, and plugins are updated through the normal WordPress admin dashboard — just click "Update" when new versions are available. WebsiteBox infrastructure updates are applied by running ./scripts/update.sh on your server.
