LATVPS: manage your VPS and run isolated WordPress sites with one command

Features

Supported platforms

LATVPS currently supports WordPress (nginx + php-fpm + MariaDB + Redis). Other platforms are in development and will arrive in upcoming updates.

Overall architecture

A single entry point (nginx-proxy) serves HTTPS for every domain. Each site has its own WordPress and database on a separate internal network. Databases are never exposed to the internet.

Three isolation layers

• Network: each site has its own internal network. Its database lives only inside that network, unreachable by any other site.
• Files: each site has its own directory and data disk, never shared.
• Resources: RAM and CPU are capped per site, so one overloaded site cannot take down the others.

VPS requirements

All you need is a blank Ubuntu VPS. Recommendations scale with the number of sites you plan to run:

Each website uses roughly 0.3 to 0.5 GB of RAM. Rough capacity by RAM: 1 GB is about 1 site (add swap), 2 GB about 2 to 3 sites, 4 GB about 5 to 6 sites, 8 GB about 10 to 12 sites. On low-RAM VPS, create a 1 to 2 GB swap file to avoid running out of memory.

Domain

Each website needs a domain with an A record pointing to the VPS IP (add a record for www too if you use it). Point the domain before creating the site so the system can issue the HTTPS certificate (Let's Encrypt) automatically.

Using Cloudflare

Keep the proxy (orange cloud) on as usual. Just go to SSL/TLS → Overview and set the mode to Full (or Full strict). HTTPS is still issued automatically, with no extra configuration. Avoid Flexible mode, which causes redirect loops. Use Full.

You do not need to preinstall anything else (Docker, web server, database). The one-line installer handles it all. All you need is a blank Ubuntu VPS with root access.

VPS reviews

These are VPS providers we have tested and use in production with LATVPS. We will add more over time. Read our full reviews and compare plans in the VPS hosting directory.

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. See our affiliate disclosure for how it works.

Step 1: Install (run once on a blank Ubuntu VPS)

SSH into the VPS as root, then paste this single line:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/affiliatecmscom/latvps/main/latvps.sh | sudo bash

Open source on GitHub: github.com/affiliatecmscom/latvps

This command installs Docker, the firewall (only 22/80/443 open), nginx-proxy (automatic HTTPS), and the lat command. It asks for your AffiliateCMS license (skip it if you only run plain WordPress), then offers to create your first website right away.

New to SSH? Pick a free client for your device

• Windows: OpenSSH is built in. Open PowerShell or Windows Terminal and type ssh root@IP-VPS. Prefer a GUI? Use PuTTY or Termius.
• macOS: Terminal is built in. Type ssh root@IP-VPS. For more features, use iTerm2 or Termius.
• Phone (iOS & Android): Termius is the easiest and runs on phone and desktop. Android also has JuiceSSH; iOS has Blink Shell.

Replace IP-VPS with the IP address your VPS provider sent you. The first connection asks for the root password (or use an SSH key).

Step 2: Manage with the lat command

From then on, just type lat. A menu appears; choose by number and press Enter (type 0 to go back):

• Add a new site (the main task)
• Manage a site (change domain, switch www, back up, enable or disable, view logs, delete)
• Back up everything
• License
• System status
• Maintenance and advanced (update the stack, update the lat command)

Add a website

Choose "Add a new site" and the system asks, one step at a time (choose by number, type 0 to go back):

• Domain (for example my-deals.com). Point the domain's A record to the VPS IP first, so HTTPS can be issued.
• Site type: WordPress + AffiliateCMS (plugins preinstalled, license auto-activated) or plain WordPress.
• HTTPS: Cloudflare (auto certificate), Let's Encrypt, or Cloudflare Origin Cert.
• Primary domain: www or non-www (the other side 301-redirects).
• Admin email, then confirm.
• (AffiliateCMS site) Import demo-style sample content? Yes by default.

That is it. The website runs immediately at https://your-domain with a WordPress admin account. Every site gets Redis object cache enabled, and AffiliateCMS sites also get automation cron installed on creation (product collection, queue processing, AI tasks), with nothing else to configure.

Quick commands (no menu needed)

lat add my-deals.com          # add a site
lat ls                        # list sites
lat domain my-deals.com new.com   # change domain (keeps all data)
lat backup all                # back up everything
lat rm my-deals.com           # delete a site

Menu structure (type lat)

After installing, type lat to open the menu (choose by number, type 0 to go back):

AI assistant: install Claude Code

The main menu has "Install Claude Code" (or type lat install-claude) to install Anthropic's command-line AI assistant right on the server, so you can tweak the design, fix bugs, and work with files quickly.

After installing, logging in is simple (no token to paste): exit the lat menu to the prompt and type claude. On first run, Claude shows a link. Open it in a browser signed in to your Claude Pro/Max account and click Authorize. Done. The login is saved on the server (~/.claude) and reused for every future SSH session.

To work on a site with Claude:

cd /opt/sites/<site-name>
claude

Other options in "Install Claude Code" (once installed): switch account, use an sk-ant-... API key (pay per use) instead of an account, update, reinstall, or remove.

Updates

• Site plugins and themes: update themselves in the WordPress admin (via the license server).
• The lat tool: Maintenance menu → "Update lat" (or lat update). LATVPS also notifies you on SSH login when a newer version exists; check manually anytime with lat update-check.
• The stack (WordPress/MariaDB/nginx + OS): Maintenance menu → "Update system" (or lat upgrade). Back up first.

Amazon Affiliate account

Tips to get your Amazon Affiliate account approved

• A complete website with all main pages: About Us, Affiliate Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Contact Us.
• A proper Affiliate Disclaimer page. Standard wording: "As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. AffiliateCMS.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com." Replace AffiliateCMS.com with your own domain.
• Required on social bios or descriptions: "As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases."
• Social posts that share Amazon or website links must include #ad or #commissionsearned, including in comments where you share links.
• You must declare your website and social profiles under "Edit Your Website, Mobile App, And Alexa Skill List" (use the facebook.com/mypage form, not facebook.com/?id=12344; same for other networks).
• Make sure monetization is enabled on each post, and that Amazon affiliate links carry your tracking tag (Products → Settings → Affiliate Links).
• In your ASIN comparison tables, turn off Price, Prime Badge, and Stock Status, leaving only Rating (Products → Settings → Visible Elements). Adjust the Score Label Text as needed.

Avoiding account closure

To reduce the risk of a closed account, read and follow the Amazon Associates Program Policies, the Top Dos and Don'ts, and the How to Share Links guidance. Common reasons accounts get closed:

• Associated accounts: you (or a person or business associated with you) previously had an account closed for violating the Operating Agreement, or an account was deactivated after 180 days for not making 3 sales.
• The sources of your traffic are unclear.
• A site or social handle or app is not included in your Associates account.
• Your site makes inaccurate, overbroad, deceptive, or otherwise misleading claims about products.
• You store or cache Amazon pricing content for more than the allowed 24 hours.
• Misusing Amazon affiliate API data or sharing your credentials.
• Many people share a single Amazon Affiliate account.

If you receive an "ACTION REQUIRED, your Associates account is at risk of closure" email, do not panic; we help you draft an appeal.
