Choosing hosting without making it harder than it needs to be.

I've set up enough servers to know that most people either need managed WordPress hosting or a small VPS. Here's a simple index to help you decide.

Four pillars, one workflow

From managed WordPress to bare-metal VPS — pick your path.

Managed infrastructure for creators who want to write, not sysadmin. Staging, automatic backups, and a GUI that works.

Raw compute with root access. For those who know their way around a shell. Docker hosts, VPNs, and custom stacks.

Internal documentation for automated deployment workflows. AI agent infrastructure and self-hosted setups.

Plan comparisons, pricing analysis, and real-world setup guides. What to choose and why — from a technical angle.

Recent guides on WordPress hosting, VPS setup, and infrastructure decisions.

I recommend starting with the Premium Managed plan for WP or the KVM 2 for VPS. Both strike the best balance of price to performance.
