Short guides. Real screenshots. No fluff.
Everything here is written against the actual panel — what to click, what you'll see, and what happens underneath. If a guide doesn't answer your question, ask us — an engineer replies.
Getting started
Migrate a site to Belov CloudGetting an existing WordPress site onto Belov Cloud without a maintenance window and without hoping it survives the cutover. Migration is free and white-glove — our AI runs it, and you don't touch DNS until the copy is proven to work.Read the guide →Point your domain & go liveMaking your domain serve from Belov Cloud once your migration is verified. This is the step that takes you live. There's no certificate to buy, upload, or renew — HTTPS is handled for you, now and every renewal after.Read the guide →
Managing your site
Staging & push-to-liveMaking changes — a theme edit, a plugin update, a PHP bump — without risking your live site. Every site gets an isolated staging copy you can break freely, then promote to live in one click when it's ready.Read the guide →How caching works: page cache, object cache, Clear cacheYour site sits behind two independent caches — a full-page cache at our edge that answers most visitors without ever waking PHP, and a private Redis object cache that makes the requests which can't be page-cached cheaper. Both are on by default, with no plugin to install and nothing to tune.Read the guide →Your database: credentials & accessSeeing and using your site's database credentials. Every WordPress site on Belov Cloud runs against its own isolated MariaDB (MySQL-compatible) database — nothing shared with other sites or other customers — and the panel shows you the full connection details whenever you need them.Read the guide →SFTP file accessEvery site can expose its files over SFTP for direct edits and uploads — enabled per environment, isolated, and locked down by default. Here's how it works and how to connect.Read the guide →Switch your PHP versionPHP is the language WordPress runs on, and newer versions are generally faster and more secure. Belov Cloud lets you set the PHP version per site — any of 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, or 8.5 — in one click, with a health check so an upgrade can't leave you stuck on a broken site.Read the guide →Read your logsWhen a page throws a 500 or starts acting strange, the answer is usually already in the logs. Belov Cloud shows your live access and error logs right in the panel — pick how many lines you want, hit Refresh, and read. No SSH, no filesystem spelunking.Read the guide →Restore from a backup & download your dataBelov Cloud backs up every site off-site to Cloudflare R2 every day — database and files — and takes an extra snapshot before every staging push. Roll back to any of your 14 most recent snapshots in one click, download your data whenever you like, and keep that access even if you leave.Read the guide →Traffic & cache analyticsEvery site has an Analytics tab that reads your real edge traffic — not an estimate bolted on afterwards, but the requests that actually hit Belov Cloud. It answers two questions at a glance: how much traffic am I getting, and how much of it is being served fast from cache?Read the guide →Security & threatsThe Security tab shows what's being kept away from your site. It's honest about what each layer actually does — which requests are refused outright, and which numbers are estimates — so you always know exactly what protection you have.Read the guide →Explain your logs with AIThe Logs tab shows your raw access and error output, but you don't always want to read it line by line. The Explain with AI button reads your site's recent logs for you and hands back a plain-English answer to "what's going on here?"Read the guide →Restore a backup to staging & push selectivelyTwo features that make rolling back and promoting changes safer: restore a backup into staging instead of straight onto live, and choose exactly what a staging push replaces on your live site.Read the guide →Turn on two-factor authenticationTwo-factor authentication adds a second step to signing in: your password plus a rotating code from your phone. On Belov Cloud it's entirely optional and off by default — nobody is forced to use it — but it's a strong, quick way to lock down your account, and here's how to switch it on.Read the guide →
Going further
WordPress Multisite on Belov CloudRunning a WordPress Multisite network here — and what it costs. The short version: a network on one domain is one site on your plan with unlimited subsites included, everything (backups, staging, self-healing) operates on the whole network at once, and any subsite can get its own custom domain self-serve.Read the guide →Invite your team by roleBring a developer, an agency, or a client onto your sites without ever sharing a login. Everyone gets their own account with exactly the access their role needs — and seats are free, so there's no reason to share one.Read the guide →What the self-healing AI does — and its guardrailsEvery Belov Cloud site is watched by a self-healing AI copilot that runs a full health check every minute — and when something breaks, it can often fix it before you'd notice. Here's exactly what it does on its own, and the guardrails that keep it from ever making things worse.Read the guide →Understand your billBelov Cloud billing is flat and predictable. You pay a fixed rate per site, not per visitor, so a traffic spike never turns into a surprise invoice. Here is exactly what goes into your bill.Read the guide →The API & CLIEverything you do in the panel, you can also do from a script or your terminal. Belov Cloud has a public REST API and a companion CLI, both driven by a token you create yourself — for automation, CI pipelines, or just doing things faster from the command line.Read the guide →Deploy a Node or Next.js appGetting a Node.js or Next.js app live — and shipping every change after that with a safety net. The short version: connect a repository, push, and we build in isolation, run your release step, and only swap the new release in once it passes a health check. A bad deploy rolls itself back.Read the guide →PR preview deploysFor Node and Next.js apps connected to GitHub, Belov Cloud can give every pull request its own live preview URL — so a reviewer can click through a change before it merges, not just read the diff. It's opt-in, and there's one important thing to understand about what a preview shares with your app.Read the guide →
