aerialps.com

Cloudflare Pages - CDN / Edge Completely, 100% free. Serves pre-built static files from Cloudflare’s global edge network, Wordpress is used for storage when needed.

cms.aerialps.com

SG Cloudhosting - Shared hosting Paid. Managed via cPanel. Runs the WordPress CMS.

Cloudflare Pages x Workers `aerialps.com`

The main site is deployed to Cloudflare Workers and Pages, which serves pre-built static files from Cloudflare’s global edge network. There is no origin server - every visitor is served from the nearest Cloudflare PoP.

This is completely free and provides exceptional performance and DDoS protection out of the box. There is quite literally, no better infra on the market for security than Cloudflare, even AWS doesn’t come close (subjective opinion of Vlad).

SG Cloudhosting - `cms.aerialps.com`

WordPress runs on a shared SG Cloudhosting instance, managed via cPanel.

Key constraints

You could realistically jail-break a jailed shell, but that is a gray area and 0 need for that.

WordPress configuration

The following two lines were added to wp-config.php to correctly map WordPress to the subdomain:

define('WP_HOME', 'https://cms.aerialps.com');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://cms.aerialps.com');

Apache was configured via cPanel to auto-map correctly to cms.aerialps.com.

Search engine visibility

To prevent the CMS from ranking in search engines, a robots.txt directive was added to public.html to block all crawler access:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

aerialps.com is the single source of truth for all blog content in search engines.
