WordPress Developer Needed — Set Up Deals/Affiliate Platform on Hetzner Cloud VPS
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
**Project Overview**
I am building a worldwide deals and coupons affiliate platform (similar to couponfollow.com) as a subdirectory of my existing finance website. All pages have already been designed and built in HTML. I need a developer to set up the server, install WordPress, configure everything, and upload the pages.
My existing website runs on Hostinger with DNS managed through Cloudflare. The new deals section must be set up separately on a Hetzner Cloud CX23 VPS and routed through Cloudflare — WITHOUT affecting the existing website in any way.
