hosting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Managed WordPress hosting, as the name suggests, is a plan where your provider &lsquo;manages&rsquo; your site and server for you. When you buy managed WordPress hosting, what you&rsquo;re really buying is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hosting environment (servers, storage, bandwidth)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WordPress management service layer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WordPress-specific expertise and support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s look more closely at each of these components.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"managed-wp-hosting\">Hosting environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At its foundation, managed WordPress hosting starts with high-quality hosting infrastructure. This includes reliable servers and robust bandwidth capabilities that form the bedrock of your site&rsquo;s hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, unlike traditional hosting where you&rsquo;re simply purchasing these resources, managed WordPress hosts optimize this infrastructure specifically for WordPress performance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-wordpress-management-service-layer\">WordPress management service layer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next element of managed WordPress hosting is the comprehensive service layer built around WordPress-specific needs. This includes automated handling of WordPress core updates, plugin and theme updates, advanced security protocols like malware scanning and removal, and specialized caching systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire environment is structured specifically for WordPress and usually also includes database optimization, backup systems, and staging environments.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-wordpress-specific-expertise-and-support\">WordPress-specific expertise and support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final and perhaps most crucial component is the integration of WordPress expertise throughout the entire service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While all quality hosting companies have some type of customer support, with managed WordPress, the support teams aren&rsquo;t hosting generalists. They are WordPress experts who understand both the technical hosting infrastructure and WordPress-specific challenges. This expertise manifests in everything from custom-tuned server configurations to WordPress-optimized content delivery networks and caching mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When issues arise, you can expect to receive guidance from professionals who deeply understand WordPress&rsquo;s ecosystem and can provide specific solutions to your challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"the-pros-cons\">The pros and cons of managed WordPress hosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we just discussed, the primary benefit of managed hosting is that it&rsquo;s a more hands-off option. It also requires less technical know-how. Your hosting provider will help you keep your site in top form, so you can focus your attention on creating content, promoting your business, and other tasks only you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-pros-of-managed-wordpress-hosting\">Pros of managed WordPress hosting &#128077;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no set criteria for what a managed plan should look like, so what you&rsquo;ll get varies from provider to provider. However, most managed hosting options will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take care of updates for you, and <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-backup-plugins-compared\/\">create frequent backups<\/a> of your site for safekeeping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/malcare-security\/\">Scan your site for security threats<\/a>, and react quickly to deal with any issues that arise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handle <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/speed-up-wordpress-quick-wins\/\">performance optimization<\/a>, to keep your site running fast at all times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configure your server to meet your needs (on VPS or dedicated plans).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offer <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-staging-site\/\">staging sites<\/a> to help you safely test changes and updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide lots of support options to answer your questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With managed <em>WordPress<\/em> hosting in particular, your provider will also <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-wordpress-hosting\/\">know WordPress inside and out<\/a>. This can be invaluable, especially if you&rsquo;re new to it and don&rsquo;t know much about how to optimize your site.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-cons-of-managed-wordpress-hosting\">Cons of managed WordPress hosting &#128078;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, all of this sounds pretty great, which may leave you wondering what the catch is. The simple answer is that managed plans are more expensive than their unmanaged variants. Just how much a managed plan will cost you depends heavily on where you get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/cheap-web-hosting\/\">entry-level shared hosting<\/a> costs $5 per month or less, <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/managed-wordpress-hosting-cheap\/\">managed hosting tends to cost<\/a> between $10 and $30 per month on the lowest tiers of a shared or VPS plan:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-opt-id=1558112923  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2334\" height=\"1348\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp\" alt=\"An example of managed hosting prices.\" class=\"wp-image-90292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1869\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 2334w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:300\/h:173\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 300w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1024\/h:591\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 1024w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:768\/h:444\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 768w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1536\/h:887\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 1536w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1869\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 2048w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1800\/h:1040\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 1800w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:50\/h:29\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 50w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:416\/h:240\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 416w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:687\/h:397\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 687w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1039\/h:600\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 1039w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:256\/h:148\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 256w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:338\/h:195\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 338w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:234\/h:135\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 234w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1869\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/An-example-of-managed-hosting-prices.webp 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Managed dedicated plans are far more expensive, although few first-time website owners need that kind of power. In any case, the extra costs <em>will<\/em> add up over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two <strong>other potential downsides<\/strong> to managed hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>first<\/em> is that if you&rsquo;re a more technically-savvy user, you may prefer to configure your server and optimize your site&rsquo;s performance and security on your own. Managed hosting takes away this option, and forces you to rely on your provider instead. Whether or not this loss of control is a relief or a problem entirely depends on your pre-existing knowledge and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>second<\/em> problem is that some managed WordPress hosts block certain features or plugins that you could otherwise normally use with WordPress.

Obviously, you&rsquo;ll only be able to opt for a managed plan if you can afford it. While most options aren&rsquo;t exorbitantly expensive, they do involve a greater investment than a simple shared hosting plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128073; If money isn&rsquo;t an issue, then your decision is mainly going to come down to the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you don&rsquo;t know much about WordPress, servers, and all the other <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-become-a-wordpress-developer\/\">technical stuff<\/a> involved in running a website, managed hosting can be a lifesaver. It saves you time and worry, and can result in a site that&rsquo;s safer and performs more smoothly. Plus, you&rsquo;ll have access to readily-available help whenever you need it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the other hand, unmanaged hosting is a better option if you prefer to make key decisions for your website on your own. It&rsquo;s a good option for users with the technical experience to maintain their sites personally, and those with a willingness to learn the ropes over time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you <em>do<\/em> decide that managed hosting is appealing and worth the premium, then your next step will be to find the right plan. And there are plenty to choose from!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"how-to-find-managed-wp-hosting\">How to find the right managed WordPress hosting plan for your site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding a managed WordPress hosting plan can be a little tricky. As we mentioned earlier, the term &lsquo;managed&rsquo; doesn&rsquo;t have a firm and universally agreed-upon definition. Theoretically, any provider can slap the managed label on its plans. Therefore, you&rsquo;ll need to be careful and make sure you&rsquo;re actually getting your money&rsquo;s worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine whether or not a managed plan really has something special to offer you, you&rsquo;ll need to take a close look at the features it provides:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-opt-id=1484657339  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1263\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png\" alt=\"An example of managed hosting features.\" class=\"wp-image-20521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1263\/h:447\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 1263w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:300\/h:106\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 300w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:768\/h:272\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 768w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1024\/h:362\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 1024w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:50\/h:18\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 50w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:480\/h:170\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 480w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:794\/h:281\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 794w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1200\/h:425\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 1200w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:296\/h:105\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 296w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:390\/h:138\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 390w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:270\/h:96\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 270w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1263\/h:447\/q:mauto\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/managed-hosting-features.png 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>These should include most or all of the key characteristics we discussed earlier. In particular, look to see if the provider will manage updates and backups for you. These are two good baseline features that should be offered at a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, see what it provides in terms of security and performance optimization. The provider should be upfront about what it does to keep your site safe and <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-speed-test-tools\/\">maintain solid speeds<\/a> and up-time. If in doubt, get in touch with the sales team via chat and ask them outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re looking at a VPS or dedicated plan, you&rsquo;ll also want to find out whether the provider is willing to set up and configure your server (virtual or physical) to meet your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#127937; Finally, and perhaps most importantly, make sure the plan is WordPress-specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re leaving the responsibility for maintaining your site in the hands of your hosting provider, it&rsquo;s vital that they know how to optimize a WordPress site. Look for features such as pre-installed and pre-configured WordPress sites and built-in plugins to handle backups and caching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may all sound a little intimidating, but there really are lots of excellent options to choose from.
