I don't think $10/m will cover the cPanel license.
I would recommend to wait for Christmas and hope Santa will approve it
Or just go with shared hosting or choose Directadmin instead
HostMantis DA Enterprise Hosting.
HostWithLove have semi dedicated plans
ok thx ,
another question is: Are Semi-dedi hosting better than wordpress hostings?
That's such a vague question. Wordpress is just a php script with mysql backend.
There's no such thing as "Wordpress hosting"
It's a marketing term/gimmick to attract people with website based on wordpress scripts
For you
1. If your website have low traffic and less resources hungry then shared hosting is enough for that
When it grows you can move to a VPS
When it grows further and becomes resources hungry then use a dedicated server instead
And if you need a control panel like cPanel but have limited budget then I would recommend you to use Directadmin.
It's lightweight and easy to use
Many providers like us do provide Directadmin with VPS at very low cost. Sometimes even for free.
I beg to differ. I have seen "Wordpress Specified" hosting providers which have a dedicated panel to control Wordpress websites with ease and things like built in CDN, file scanning specified for Wordpress centric attacks and so on.
It does indeed uses common technologies such as Apache/Nginx/Litespeed or whatever suits your bill. However, they are pretty specified so I believe it's OK-ish to call them Wordpress hosting
WordPress.com has "WordPress hosting" with unlimited cpu power, unlimited ram and unlimited bandwidth on free plan.
I think if you have a wordpress website then wordpress hosting would be better and cheaper & faster for the script.
Are these also allow uploading and restoring old cpanel backups?
Not cheaper. Should be more expensive.
Not necessarily faster, either.
You are talking about specialized hosting for those who have no clue or too lazy to maintain stuff.
Yes. Can you list any good and reliable ones?
Nope, do your own homework please.
That's debatable though. Most of the OK-ish or better WP focused hosting packages are really expensive and some of the low end ones are just reusing cPanel and rebranding their hosting packages as Wordpress optimised.
Fully agree. I'm using Kinsta hosting to host about 7 Wordpress websites because I'm lazy AF. It's pretty cut and dry. You setup it once and then you rarely have to worry about anything else other than content.
From my personal experience, Kinsta is really prem. But expensive at the same time.
WordPress Hosting is bit of marketing gimmick and bit of reality. I've seen many hosts offering shared plans for $5 where user can host 5 sites, WP plans for $8 or $10 where user can host single WP site. Now their base-node specs are same, E3 or E5 server, 32GB or more RAM, etc. The bandwidth is also same, same network provider, etc.
But considering WP eats CPU/RAM than normal php/mySQL based sites, host can put LESS tenants on a WP server, than on shared server, add Litespeed or Nginx, a more I/O or more EP and advertise it as "Wordpress-Optimized" hosting and charge some extra bucks for the same!
Managed WP hosting is altogether a premium thing! User get WP auto-installed, CDN, auto updates, malware scanning, and few other perks like more CPU/RAM, but its costly too!
Now its up to the user to decided if their WP site can well-fit in same provider's shared plans or special WP plans OR managed WP! Depends on traffic, usage, plugins installed, etc.
many true WP plans also have staging sites etc. They also have providers that monitor for updates and plugins etc (see what plesk includes for hosters to monitor/update)
