If you already have a WordPress website, or are planning on starting one, you’ll know that you need somewhere to host your website. While there are many options available, ranging from shared hosting to dedicated hosting, managed VPS hosting is often the best solution.
Advantages Of VPS Hosting
Put simply, VPS hosting gives you the best of shared hosting combined with the best of dedicated hosting at an affordable rate. Shared hosting alone is inexpensive, but nowhere near the performance, security, or functionality of dedicated hosting. Dedicated hosting offers significantly better performance, better security through improved isolation between websites, and offers more features because you’re in control of the server resources. The downside of dedicated hosting is that’s is quite expensive, and often way out of budget when starting a website. Luckily, VPS hosting exists which provides a nice balance between the affordability of shared hosting and feature set of dedicated hosting. You get the performance, security, and features of dedicated hosting at a price closer to shared hosting.

A Bit About WordPress
When starting any project, it’s important to use the right tools for the job. For starting a website, be it a single page website with a contact form, or an advanced online store, WordPress is by far the best option. WordPress is an extremely extensible content management system that can be easily adapted for any type of website imaginable. It’s also backed by a large team of developers across the globe, and is constantly being updated for extra features, and additional security. As such, it’s no surprise that more than a third of all websites on the internet rely on WordPress, or that WordPress accounts for nearly two out of every three websites that use a content management system.

Why Managed VPS Hosting Is A Must-have
As you can see, WordPress combined with VPS hosting is the best way to start a new website, or even migrate an old one. WordPress gives you the flexibility to easily create and manage your website, and VPS hosting gives your website the resources it needs to grow at a reasonable rate. However, there’s an important distinction between just VPS hosting and managed VPS hosting. The former just gives you server space, and you’re responsible for installing and configuring all of the software, security settings, updates, maintenance, SSL certificates, etc. On the other hand, managed VPS hosting means a professional will set everything up for you and provide ongoing maintenance and support.
