Our WordPress hosting comparison is going to look at three different types of hosting:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Shared<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">VPS (Virtual Private Server)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Managed WordPress hosting<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Shared hosting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Shared hosting is the cheapest form of hosting and best for any site with a low traffic volume. This could be a personal journal, a book club log, or anything else that doesn\u2019t stress the server until the project starts to gain traction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Here\u2019s how it works: The hosting provider sets up multiple customers on a single server. The customers all share the resources of the machine, like hard drive space, memory, and CPU. This is wonderful for some needs, but can be terrible for others. Let\u2019s look at the pros and cons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Pros<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s affordable. For example, SkyTechNG offers an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosting.skytechng.com\/wordpress\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener follow noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">affordable shared hosting plan for WordPress<\/a>. Most coffee drinkers spend more than the monthly cost of this plan on coffee for one day.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s easy to get started. Shared hosting is systematized, well documented, and mostly automated, e.g. with\u00a0one-click WordPress installations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The hosting provider handles server-level performance optimization and security. Plus, when a site has outgrown a shared hosting plan, the hosts make it easy to move the site to a more appropriate hosting solution.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Shared hosting isn\u2019t optimized specifically for WordPress websites.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sharing resources with other customers means their\u00a0sites\u2019 behaviour may affect the performance\u00a0of your site. This usually isn\u2019t a problem for hobby sites or personal sites, but it is a risk for businesses and online stores.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If your website on the server suddenly goes viral and gets millions of visitors, the performance of the entire server is affected. The site might be taken offline to protect other customers from being affected. (When that happens it\u2019s time to move up, more on that below.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">VPS hosting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">VPS stands for Virtual Private Server.\u00a0VPS hosting\u00a0is vaguely similar to shared hosting in that multiple customers share physical hardware, but with VPS hosting each server has dedicated, reserved resources. Your neighbor on the server can\u2019t fill up your share of the hard drive, nor your memory nor processing power. The resources are exclusively yours.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As with every kind of hosting, VPS is perfect for some people, and terrible for others.<\/span><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Anyone with a site that has outgrown shared hosting, but that\u2019s not quite big enough to warrant its own hardware, should try VPS. Word of warning: You\u2019ll need to be handy at configuring the server, since it\u2019s usually a pretty plain setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Pros<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">SkyTechNG offers an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosting.skytechng.com\/wordpress\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener follow noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">affordable VPS Hosting for WordPress<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Value. VPS can cost much less than a dedicated server, where you have the entire machine to yourself. With VPS you can get almost the same, and sometimes actually the same power, as a dedicated machine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Performance. A VPS hosting plan is more powerful than shared hosting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Scalability. Additional resources can be allocated to a VPS account without requiring the account to be migrated. So if you suddenly find yourself in need of more memory, space, or processing power, it\u2019s a quick fix.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Price. A VPS plan is more expensive than shared hosting. (That said, if your business depends on a well-performing website, the investment in a VPS plan is worth it.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Complexity. Managing a VPS plan requires more know-how than managing a basic shared hosting plan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Time spent on admin tasks. This goes hand-in-hand with the previous point. With a VPS plan you have more server management responsibilities to take care of.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Managed WordPress hosting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In general, \u201cManaged Hosting\u201d means you pay someone else to take care of server management tasks for you. With Managed WordPress hosting you\u2019re paying the hosting provider to take care of the server AND make it work especially well with WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This sort of optimization is good for improving the speed and security of a WordPress site, among other things.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Here are some pros and cons of Managed WordPress hosting:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Pros<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">SkyTechNG offers an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosting.skytechng.com\/wordpress\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener follow noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">affordable Manage WordPress Hosting<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">WordPress expertise. You don\u2019t have to think about doing any of the server optimization yourself. There are people\u00a0taking care of it for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Extra WordPress features. This can include caching for faster site speed, regular backups, easy restores, one-click staging, site cloning, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Cons<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Price. Managed WordPress Hosting is a specialized service that costs more to provide and maintain than regular hosting, and prices generally reflect that.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Restrictions. Managed WordPress users are\u00a0restricted in what plugins they can install, and you can\u2019t run other software alongside WordPress. (Managed WordPress hosting plans are only for WordPress sites.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Choose the best WordPress hosting plan for you<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Choosing the best WordPress hosting plan for your website can be make-or-break for your business. Choosing a plan that doesn\u2019t support your needs can impact your sales, brand reputation, and ultimately your bottom line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Whether you want full control over your site\u2019s server infrastructure, are ready for someone else to do the heavy lifting for you, or somewhere in between, there\u2019s a plan for you \u2014 you just have to find it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosting.skytechng.com\/wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click<\/a> to Visit SkyTechNG Hosting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which is the best WordPress hosting plan for YOU in 2020?
