Vector Pro Documentation

Overview

Vector Pro is the API for the Vector platform, a serverless WordPress hosting infrastructure built by BuiltFast. It gives hosting partners everything they need to offer scalable, white-label WordPress hosting to their customers—without managing the underlying infrastructure.

Who Vector Pro is For

Vector Pro is designed for hosting companies, agencies, and product companies who want to offer WordPress hosting as part of their service.

Hosting Companies

Add a scalable WordPress tier to your offerings

Agencies

Host client sites under your own brand

Product Companies

Theme/plugin developers and SaaS builders

What You Can Do

✓ Create and manage sites — Provision WordPress sites with development environments
✓ Deploy to production — Push from development to staging or production
✓ Manage environments — Create staging, QA, or custom environments
✓ Handle custom domains — Automatic SSL provisioning included

The Vector Platform

Serverless Architecture

Sites scale automatically. No capacity planning required.

Global CDN

Intelligent caching that keeps dynamic content dynamic.

Security Built In

WAF, DDoS protection, and automatic SSL on every site.

Enterprise Backups

Daily and on-demand backups with easy restoration.

Architecture

Understanding Vector's architecture is important because it represents a significant departure from traditional WordPress hosting—and that departure is what enables the scalability and reliability.

Sites and Environments

When you create a site through Vector Pro, you're creating a container for multiple environments:

Development

WP Admin lives here

Staging

Test before production

Production

Live site + CDN

Custom

QA, client review, etc.

Key Concept: No Writes in Production

Deployed environments are read-only. There's no WP Admin, no plugin installation, no file uploads in production.

All WordPress work happens in development. Deploys push a snapshot to the target environment. This is what enables serverless scaling.

The Deployment Flow

1 PHP files are packaged — WordPress core, themes, plugins prepared for serverless
2 Assets go to cloud storage — Media and static files pushed to S3
3 Database is copied — Development database copied to target
4 Environment goes live — Serving traffic on serverless infrastructure
