Choose Your Setup
Outcome
Section titled “Outcome”By the end of this page, you should know whether your site belongs in TMXIO hosting or should be connected as an external WordPress site.
The Short Version
Section titled “The Short Version”Choose a hosted site when you want TMXIO to run the WordPress infrastructure, environments, deployments, and hosted platform settings for you.
Choose an external site when you already have hosting you want to keep and you mainly want TMXIO visibility, plugin-powered connection, monitoring, and selected management features.
Hosted vs External at a Glance
Section titled “Hosted vs External at a Glance”| Aspect | Hosted | External |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs the server | TMXIO | You or your existing host |
| Update workflow | Built-in environments, deployments, and rollback | Your existing workflow plus plugin-driven visibility |
| Domain control | Managed through TMXIO | Managed where you host today |
| Performance tuning | Hosted caching, Redis, and image controls | Whatever your host and plugins provide |
| Best for | New projects or consolidating hosting | Keeping the current host while adding TMXIO visibility |
Hosted Sites Are Best When
Section titled “Hosted Sites Are Best When”- You want TMXIO to manage the WordPress environment directly.
- You need staging, deployment, rollback, and hosted platform controls in one place.
- You want caching, mail, and security controls documented under TMXIO support.
- You are launching a new project or consolidating existing hosting.
External Sites Are Best When
Section titled “External Sites Are Best When”- You already have a WordPress host you want to keep.
- You can install and manage a WordPress plugin on the site.
- You want to connect the site to TMXIO without changing hosting immediately.
- You need monitoring, plugin-driven connection status, and customer support flows first.
What Success Looks Like
Section titled “What Success Looks Like”- Hosted: the site appears in TMXIO with environments and hosted site controls.
- External: the site appears in TMXIO after the TMXIO WordPress Plugin connects successfully from WordPress admin.
What To Do Next
Section titled “What To Do Next”- If TMXIO will host the site, continue to
Launch Your First Site. - If you are keeping your current host, continue to
Connect a WordPress Site.
