How to Install MaxSite CMS on a VPS with Auto-Setup from THE.Hosting

MaxSite CMS is a lightweight and fast engine for websites where simplicity, speed, and clean code matter most. It’s a great fit for blogs, portfolios, and news sites. With our auto-install script on a VPS from THE.Hosting, you can have it up and running in just a couple of minutes.

What to do

1. Log in to your THE.Hosting account
After signing up, you’ll get your login and password by email. Go to the website, log in, and open the control panel.

2. Go to “Products/Services” → “Virtual Servers”
Choose the VPS you want and click “Go to panel” to access its settings.

3. If you don’t have a VPS yet — order one
On the homepage, pick the server location, review the plans, and click “Order server.” Important: MaxSite requires Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04, so make sure to choose one of these versions when ordering.

4. Open server management
Click the three-dot icon and select “Virtual Machines.”

5. Start the auto-install
Click “Run script,” type MaxSite into the search bar, and select the script. Then hit the launch button.

6. Wait for the installation to complete
The process takes just a few minutes. You can track progress in the “Status” section. Once it’s done, you’ll get an email with your site’s address plus login and password for the admin panel.

7. Follow the link in the email
You’ll land directly in the MaxSite admin panel — already installed, configured, and ready to use. From there, just pick a theme, enable the plugins you need, and start filling your site with content.

Why this is convenient

MaxSite isn’t a bulky CMS weighed down with dozens of dependencies. It’s a compact engine that adapts easily to different tasks. Here’s why people choose it:
