No one should be using any of the big wordpress hosts - theyre all overpriced garbage.

Its so damn easy to get a WP site up and running with a decent and cheap VPS server and a cloud panel (e.g. runcloud, xcloud, enhance, spinupwp, gridpane, etc...). Some even have a free tier. Cyberpanel is even a free option, though clunky.

For a rounding error of blog traffic which can probably be fully cached in cloudflare CDN, you could use a 1vpcu server from Hetzner for like $3/month. Hell, I think there's a fully free tier at aws lightsail and Oracle cloud (theyre garbage, but again, just cache it all in cdn).




It’s the maintenance of the software that gets tiring. Constantly keeping up with updates and security patches. That makes SaaS attractive.


You don't understand the core offering.
