What is on this site
6 guides, each with its sources on the page , 17 answers to the questions around them , and the comparison.
- WordPress managed hosting vs unmanaged: Managed WordPress hosting sells the work: updates, backups, caching, security and a support desk that knows WordPress, at a price per site that starts around the cost of a small VPS and rises with traffic.
- Website hosting and maintenance cost: The hosting bill most people quote is the intro price on the sign-up page; the bill they pay is the renewal, plus the domain, plus whatever maintenance nobody budgeted for.
- WordPress hosting with staging: A staging site is a copy of your site where updates and changes are tested before they touch the version customers see.
- Dedicated server management: A dedicated server is a whole machine, and someone has to run it: patch the operating system, watch the disks, respond when it stops answering at night.
- Website hosting and domain: Most shared hosting plans bundle a free domain for the first year, and most people take it.
- Reseller hosting company: Reseller hosting is a block of hosting bought wholesale and sold on under your own name: an agency hosting its clients' sites, a freelancer bundling hosting with a build, a small provider starting without servers.
