Managed WordPress Hosting
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions in forums.
Do I need managed WordPress Hosting?
What is managed WordPress Hosting?
Why is managed WordPress Hosting better?
There are a lot of opinions on this topic, the answers to the above questions are debatable and can swing to either side.
Most importantly the majority of people asking this questions are non-technical and are searching for an affordable and safe solution to host their private or business WordPress site.
The answers they get from forums are all good answers but sometimes they are too technical and can be confusing.
The first thing most of the answers target is the cost of managed WordPress hosting vs the other shared hosting.
Why should you pay $30+ a month for managed WordPress hosting when you can get a plan for $3.50 / month from a cheap provider.
To better explain the differences between managed WordPress hosting and the other cheaper hostings solutions we will use some analogy.
Yes the managed WordPress hosting is more expensive so is a Mercedes Benz S Class and the first thing people think is the fact that you only pay extra for the Brand.
That is true in some aspect you do pay a premium for the brand but you do get a lot of technology and comfort packed in it.
Most of the time the technology you find in a S class Mercedes won’t funnel down to the mainstream cars for 5 to 8 years.
Getting back to the managed WordPress hosting and the analogy used above, and we go few years in the future most cars will have 4 wheels, and you still use a steering wheel to drive them with the exception of the self-driving cars.
If we assume the cheap hosting is a normal everyday car and the managed WordPress hosting is a self-driving car.
The benefits will be very easy to spot; You do pay a premium price but you don’t have to worry about driving from point A to point B.
You can enjoy the scenery and take pictures, play a card game with the other people in the car, read a book, sleep, study .. catch up on your work.
In the essence, you will make better use of that time which otherwise will be wasted behind the steering wheel. If you work remotely you can even earn more money while the car drives itself.
