Fast hosting and theme for Wordpress?

R_X09 · Feb 5, 2025

I currently use Vultr High Frequency hosting plan. If I want to create a Wordpress website, should I use the same hosting or switch to another hosting company plan specifically for Wordpress? You know, companies that offer Wordpress hosting.

I want the site to be fast so I won't be putting any videos on the site. Only content and images.
I think I also want to use Cloudfare CDN and Wordpress Cache plugin to help speed up the site too.

What are some good Wordpress themes that are lightweight and fast? If a theme has too many features, do they slow down the website? I think GeneratePress is good?

Vultr is good, how much are you paying?
How much concurrent users do you see per month, will it grow?
Vultr will be great regardless when scaling it up

I am giving you some best options precisely:
for themes choose from Generatepress, Astra, Kadence, and newspaper.
For hosting choose anyone from could based like Cloudways.

WordPress Hosting is BS,
It's just a marketing strategy, just aim for good hosting, check the company reviews,
Vultr is good, I wouldn't recommend it based on the price/value, not highly overpriced tho and will do the work just fine,

Just use one of the most recommended WP themes (a few recommended above, or just search in bhw or google it),
Use some caching plugin (WP Rocket, Flyingpress, WP Super cache, etc...), you can find most of the themes/plugins in the downloads section,
Optimize the website images (not too many or too big), you can use some plugin for this as well (WP Smush, reSmush.it, etc...),
And lastly, make sure the server is not too far from the target audience, that should be enough, don't over-worry about it, you can improve things later

I share 1 VPS hosting, I have tried to create 3 VPS and embed videos on their VPS, it's quite good.

You don’t need to switch to a managed WordPress hosting plan unless you want an easier setup with built-in support. If you're okay managing things yourself (or using a panel), staying with Vultr HF is a solid choice!

GeneratePress is great in terms of speed and i heard good things about Vultr

As for hosting, I can recommend Cloudways.
