Is there anyone who can help me create a hosting platform on my site. I would like someone to go to my website to create a Wordpress site, basically, fill out a user and password and somehow that information would register into Digital Ocean. So I don’t have to manually go into digital ocean to create a site for them. Does this make sense? Or is something like this even possible? I’m not familiar with programing and have no problem paying someone to help me with this. If you, or if you know anyone who can guide me in the right direction please let me know. I’m not even sure if this is is an api thing either. Thanks!

@sierracircle Is programming language all the same? Like, would any programer know how to use digital ocean to create this platform? Thanks!
@UKn0Me Yes that’s pretty much it, almost how (http://thisistap.com) works.
If I’m a customer… I would sign up. (Enter username, password, site name, domain, plan, payment info.) Then upon completion be brought into a dashboard where it has my site (that was created in droplet, automatically) and ftp login info would be displayed (that was generated in droplet, automatically). Again, does this make any sense? Thank you for your response.

The API can be used to create droplets programmatically, while this method specifically can help you determine the image slug for WordPress or any of our other available distributions and applications. You can also check out the Developers portal for more detail.
