How to Build a WordPress SaaS like EasyWP Using the Ofclock API

The Managed WordPress Gold Rush

Companies like Namecheap (with EasyWP), Kinsta, and WP Engine have built extremely lucrative businesses by offering "Managed WordPress Hosting." They abstract away the painful parts of server management so end-users can just focus on building their websites.

If you run an agency or are a developer looking for passive income, you might want to build your own WordPress SaaS. The problem? Building the underlying container orchestration, automated SSL provisioning, and database mapping takes thousands of engineering hours.

Enter the Ofclock API

Instead of building a massive DevOps backend from scratch, you can act as the frontend and use Ofclock's robust REST API to instantly provision, manage, and scale WordPress environments.

How It Works

1. Your Customer Signs Up: A user registers on your custom SaaS frontend and pays for a subscription plan via Stripe.
2. API Webhook Triggered: Your backend receives the webhook and calls the Ofclock /v1/deployments API endpoint, specifying the wordpress stack.
3. Automatic Provisioning: The Ofclock engine instantly allocates a dedicated Docker container, attaches a private MySQL database, and returns the credentials and temporary staging URL back to your application.
4. Custom Domain API: When the user wants to go live, they type their domain into your interface. Your backend calls the Ofclock Domains API to map their custom domain and automatically provision Let's Encrypt SSL certificates.

With just a few HTTP requests, you've created a fully automated, scalable multi-tenant SaaS. You can bill your customers $30/month for premium managed hosting while relying on Ofclock's underlying scale.
