    Hello,
    I’m wondering if it is possible to change login page address from my domain name/wp-admin to a custom one for added security?
    Can I change database prefix for a custom one on installation process and move data about database to a different place?
    All for security reasons.
    It can be done if the WordPress is installed manually on a server but wondering if I could do the same with your installation process from the dashoboard to have automatic updates in place.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hey there @jpawluc, there are ways to obscure the wp-admin URL through plugins. To host that here with us, you’d need a managed plan that supports outside plugins, such as our Business Plan.

    But do bear in mind, too: we manage security on our services, so even free sites are quite safe. We have more details here:
