WordPress managed hosting: what is it and why should you choose it
22 September 2024 · 6 min read
Managed hosting is a hosting service where the provider not only manages the server, but also provides technical maintenance, security, updates and support. It is the worry-free option for website owners who want to focus on their core activities.
At WP Maintainer we offer managed WordPress hosting including full maintenance. In this article we explain what you can expect.
What is managed hosting?
With standard (unmanaged) hosting you get access to a server and are responsible yourself for: - Server configuration - Updates and patches - Security - Backups - Performance optimisation - Troubleshooting
With managed hosting the provider takes over these tasks.
What is included in managed hosting?
Advantages of managed hosting
- **Time saving:** No more technical management - **Expertise:** Access to specialist knowledge - **Prevention:** Proactive maintenance prevents problems - **Speed:** Optimised servers - **Peace of mind:** 24/7 monitoring and support
When to choose managed hosting?
Managed hosting is recommended when: - You have no technical expertise in-house - Your website is business-critical - You have no time for maintenance - Your website processes sensitive data - You need 24/7 availability
Costs of managed hosting
Managed hosting is more expensive than unmanaged hosting, but saves you time and risk. Compare the total costs: - Time you spend on management yourself - Costs of external help with problems - Revenue loss during downtime - Costs of a hack or data breach
Managed hosting is often cheaper when you include all costs.
