Find good managed wordpress webhost provider?

[Marco69]

I look around for an managed wordpress webhost provider.
Monthly billing from $6- 17 that is my monthly budget for that.

But here is the catch:
I need a webhoster who not only make blue sky of promises - a provider who keeps his words.

Who make my life easier:

a) easy to use dashboard (no cpanel or plesk)
b) set up the ssl for me and do the renewal
c) do all the plugins and themes updates in my wp admin dashboard
d) setup the DNS records when I have different domain and email hosting elsewehere

when possible- who has beautiful pre designed wordpress themes (some hoster have that)

Has email ticket support or better Live chat support.
Not so easy to find today...

In mind mind these providers coming up:

Dreamhost ( I think they have premade wordpress themes)
Midphase
Hostbuddy
Fastcomet
Namecheap
MDDhosting

Dreamhost will be here the only one who has premade designed wordpress themes
Any more tips ?

It's slightly over your budget but check WP Engine. They have great managed wp hosting and give a few free premium themes. https://wpengine.com/

Get Rocket.net they will take care of your Managed Hosting needs. A bit more costly, but well worth it.

uffff their prices are little bit to high in the moment for me and I not like webhosting with cloudflare I not want cloudflare use the same ip from cloudflare like millions of other people in the world this can not be good for seo.

imagine in your mind millions of people have the same ip address like you? Would that be good for seo?
As with wordpress themes it looks like Dreamhost has some different premade wp themes which are more polished and beautiful most webhost providers not have this nice feature. Yes you can use th eenvato wp plugin who ha sbeautiful premade designed blocks and templates but in wordpress.org it shows as not supported and it will slow down and freezing your admin dashboard site. (my experience on EasyWP managed wordpress)

Knownhost would be another provider who comes up in my mind...
Godaddy managed wordpress and their services???

Namecheap or Hostarmada might fit your bill

No one will have or programming or doing a theme for you.

You are completely wrong. Managing servers are only

Installing scripts, CMS or anything in the server.
Replacing HDD, SSD of anything of the server.
Installing control panel, removing it, taking care of security.
Helping in fix dns issues.

What support doesn't are obligated to do (you need to do yourself)
Update your plugins
install theme (hey that is your part, is not a managed service to do it.... not makes sense and is ridiculous sorry)
Designing theme? Not happen, managing is just for server, not to provide themes or code...

You need to know what is really managing.

There are 3 types of managing

Basic Managing
Semi-Full Managing
Full Management (usually very expensive)

Managing is for servers issues! Not related if theme is corrupted or not compatible because is old, they won't fix that.

Alexhost have VPS Managed, you can also go with WPX and another.

WPX is also a good choice, is not cheap because is managed.. and managed have the cost of server and human management..

Namecheap's WordPress hosting or WPX

Namecheap or Hostarmada might fit your bill

I like Hostarmada to a point their customer service and support are very mixed and they will shut down your site if your database grows

Deleted member 1393709: some webhosters have premade wordpress themes different from wordpress.org godaddy as example has beautiful wp themes in their hosting installation you can choose one theme but I not like them.

It looks line Dreamhost has that feature too...

The Nexcess manage wp looks very good they promise install the ssl, doing wp core, plugins and themes updates regularly, wp backup have their own cdn , not cloudflare.

Their offer looks awesome.

 

[Marco69]

Example: I was on godaddy wordpress supreme hosting plan (trial phase) pages load very fast and they hade nice pre designed themes like Theme Perry (based on GO) you not find perry theme on wordpress org.
Now I had a beautiful super and fast live chat with Nexcess agent the Spark plan has a super price and after 3 months price is at $19 which is ok for me it is only this month where I be on tight small budget (must paying many bills this month).

But it's so sad that many webhost providers not have pre designed wordpress themes like the perry theme in my example, these more polished pre designed themes are easier for me to customize with gutenberg as these boring themes on wordpress org. It is a wordpress wizard installation setup.

Knownhost not has pre desigend themes and use cpanel ufffff....
and not want cpanel I want a clean easy panel , Nexcess sounds super they doing all these tasks like, setup sssl and renewal, wordpress updates (core, plugins and themes) wordpress backup...but they not have pre designed themes or a site builder (to test it-trial) .

Dreamhost website loads slow now...

Midphase?
MDDhosting sounds they not doing all the tasks like Nexcess
Are there another good webhosting providers who match my needs on monthly plan with $5-9in the first month?

 

[Marco69]

Interserver looks boring old
Accuweb?
Maybe Siteground they have good offer for the first month
Really Hostarmada is good?
Gandi very expensive and has many low ressources and restrictions

Now I see siteground offer first month is only to their 1 2month plan monthly billing cost $17,99 .....
ufffff I be at the end today....and not have any idea now...

 

[Marco69]

For the end of the day now I have found these...

Heart Internet
Fastcomet
Fasthosts
20i

I thought you were looking for a Managed WordPress Hosting, but non of your hosts that you write down is Managed WordPress Hosting companies, just because they call their hosting "WordPress Hosting" does NOT mean that they are real Managed WordPress Hosting companies, I think your going to have to read up on What a real Managed Hosting is.

And by the way, having hosting with Cloudflare Enterprise as a front is NOT going to affect your website SEO and it will make your website much faster.

Planethoster.com is really high quality, DC situated in Montreal so just near US border. 6€/month

My research so far today:

Hostinger looks not so bad it's more like a semi managed wordpress hosting
Best Live chat I ever had= Nexcess maybe I should give them a try, but they not have pre designed wp themes (wordpress wizard)

Hostarmada looks not so bad they have a site builder but they have cpanel and not pre designed wp themes (wp wizard) they call that Managed Wordpress Hosting but it's not really managed...

Dreamhost has slim clean Dashboard panel and has pre designer themes bit their website loads slow the last days. I have a email host plan on them works fine but th elast 5 days they send my daily email confirmation about Degraded Performance Update like this:


"Thank you for your continued patience.

Our technical operations and data center teams continue to work on restoring the data to your shared server. The restore process is still ongoing and being heavily monitored by our Admins. Content is currently being loaded from one of our backup machines, as a result you may continue to experience degraded performance and intermittent errors as data is being restored......"

I do not know what problems they have, my email hosting works fine maybe this is the cause in the moment that their own website loads slow? I like their clean panel and that they have pre designed themes.

Maybe I should give the $2,99 monthly plan a try when it's horrible slow, I cancel it and go to Hostinger or Nexcess.

More really managed wordpress hosting providers I not have found today.

 

[Marco69]

any other good managed wordpress hosting recommends here?

or is Flywheel, Hostinger, Dreamhost , Namecheap, 20i, Hostarmada, Fastcomet is that all in the big whole internet world?

 

[Marco69]

bo I have ordered nexcess wordpress managed plan today have super Live chat guides little bit miss and hit like some guides have more expertise than others (that is normal) but support is really good.

Now after the order I#m finding out that I not can have a dedicate dip address with wordpress managed hosting...same with my managed wordpress (second project) on namechaep EasyWP too, dedicated ip is not possible, but with their shared wehosting plans.

So sad this all I pay for limitations and limitations again.....
Maybe I be little bit overwhelmed with that dedicated ip idea, look up, when millions of people have the same shared ip address like you- do you think that is good for your seo ranking?

Sounds logical right?
Same with that cloudflare hype millions of people over the world have the same CF proxy ip address.....that is garbage...

Folks here have a nice evening rest today

Try CloudNext a superb wordpress webhosting company.

 

[stromind]

I think No hosting provider either managed or unmanaged is going to provide you CMS level support.
And as far as i know, WordPress specific hosting is just a marketing gimmick.
Any Good hosting provider which offers litespeed enterprise along with cPanel or direct Admin will out perform many WordPress specialized hosting providers.

 

[Marco69]

Dear people here today !
I hope you are well today and have a great day.

stromind:
&_money;

now it's too late I bought an wordpress hosting by Nexcess.

The live chat guide helped me setting up my domain and DNS, it works fine the clean dashboard and site with standard twenty-twenty-one theme loads blazing fast -without their cdn ! (is not enabled yet) and they take care of wp core, plugins and themes update.
And setup ssl was really fast within 20 minutes the ssl was enabled on the domain (not 24hours) !
My domain is on godaddy and their DNS prolongation (changed the nameservers) really fast within 30-45 minutes the DNS prolongation was finished (checked it with whatsmydns tool) !

So today I will setup email address and staging site and FTP account.

I like these clean dashboards better than cpanel. But one downside is they not have beautiful pre build wp themes. I had godaddy supreme hosting the last two months before, page loads blazing fast too, their wordpress installation showed up with beautiful prebuild themes- so I can choose one.

This nice feature I missing in nexcess with this feature I get more ideas and can more easy build a good looking sites as with these boring gutenberg block layouts all the same...image right, text left, image left text right, text block, price table, with luck there is a good looking hero header where I can embedd and sign up form. With this exception I be happy with nexcess.


Not all webhosters have this nice wp wizard feature, now I see nice free wp themes on the nicepage site but you can use them only when you buy nicepage webhosting and their free plugin has only a few free template blocks not worth to use it.

This all is little bit boring and I not will use Elementor, loads bloating of render blocking scripts and in the free plugin version their prebuild layouts only a handful...is boring too...

This is the only thing I missing on nexcess, why Gutenberg not has a library of thousands or 500 of free prebuild blocks templates and layouts?

Yes many hates godaddy today but they are not so bad their higher hosting plans loading page fast, have beautiful prebuild wpthemes on the installation wizard, but their dashboard is little bit sluggish, buggy. Yes they are little bit rude today.
I had monthly billing webhost th elast two months and one week before the
renewal date, they took the money out from my paypal account- sorry GD this is not fair contract is contract !

Bought a good name domain and their auction membership but not have bids and views, I thought the godaddy auction site is bringing me traffic- wrong. It looks like they are good in marketing texting, also meaning they are good texting like snake oil vendors....

Now I looking for good gutenberg plugins with prebuild layout blocks, PostX, Stackable, C9 plugins are useless makes the wordpress very sluggish slow. There are not many gutenberg prebuild layouts plugins there. And I be on very tight budget not want buy premium themes for $59 or more...

My experiences with these premium themes from codecanyon , themeforest and that all is;
these themes are over bloated and very big in size, high risk that your wordpress will go down hefty after installation or the upload will not work because the file is too big.

I not willing to pay for crap who makes my wp more slow or over bloated, but there are millions of people who are happy with these crap of over bloated premium themes, I wonder what happenend on this planet...

On the Gutentor website you see big promise like this; "100's of free landing pages" but count them there are only 25 free templates, I hate this snake oil vendor speaking.


Have a nice day !
