Should I choose Shared Hosting or Cloud VPS for WordPress?

Shared hosting is a suitable service type for very small and personal WordPress projects. Such accounts share server resources with 100+ more users, and you cannot count on optimal performance and security. Cloud VPS hosting is best suited for businesses and growing WordPress projects where site speed and resource scalability are essential factors for success. Virtual servers come with dedicated CPU/RAM, performance enhancers, and a CDN platform for optimal availability.

Which is the best WordPress plan for me?

Choosing the right WordPress solution depends on several factors—number of visitors, number of plugins, site optimization. If you have a relatively small, hobby website, any of the shared plans would be absolutely sufficient for your needs. Running a business, however, especially an ecommerce one, would require more resources and you should definitely consider a VPS plan. The virtual servers come with dedicated resources and upgradeable CPU/RAM, which will allow your site to grow exponentially.

What is the WordPress Manager?

The WordPress Manager is a unique, in-house developed tool for easy management of WP-based sites. ScalaHosting includes the tool for free on all SPanel hosting accounts. WordPress Manager allows you to install the app, set up automatic WordPress updates, and configure daily data backups. Additionally, the Security Lock feature allows you to harden the defenses around your hosting environment and protect your files from being tampered with.

How do I transfer my WordPress website to ScalaHosting?

You can request a free WordPress migration from our trained support experts. We only need to know the best time for the transfer and the login details with your previous provider. The data migration often takes less than 2 hours and involves no service downtimes. Once your data is transferred, our support team will check if everything works properly on your new server with us.

Can I upgrade my WordPress hosting plan?

The WordPress Cloud VPS is scalable with flexible resource allocation. You can add more CPU cores, RAM, and disk space with a single click, and the server resources are automatically upgraded within a minute. With traditional hosting, you have three fixed plans to choose from and can upgrade to any cloud VPS plan if you find them insufficient.

What is the best WordPress Hosting for an online store?

WordPress sites can typically utilize any type of web hosting service as WP itself is not so resource-demanding. But when it comes to ecommerce stores, you need more than the average performance and security. The best hosting deals for WordPress are often virtual private servers. VPS solutions are lightning-fast, highly secure, and offer practically limitless scalability. This way, you can also ensure excellent user experience and guaranteed uptime for all your ecommerce users.

Can I host multiple WordPress sites on the same VPS hosting plan?

Apart from the Mini plan, all other packages can accommodate unlimited WordPress websites within the same account. Still, for multiple projects, we highly recommend choosing a cloud VPS plan, as you can easily adjust the server resources according to your current needs.
