$6 p/month for this...
...and you can host as many applications (WordPress sites) as you want within those resources.
This is for unmanaged hosting. If you want a Vultr High-Frequency plan but manage, you will need to go to Cloudways. There, these same plans are twice as expensive.
But, you will have access to many more features like those highlighted in the blue box.
Also, on the next tier of hosting, you will have access to the Object Cache Pro which is a cache plugin at the database level which will make your site FLYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

digital ocean have a 4 core/8gb ram server with $40/mo and you can install object cache and php cache yourself easy.

One word, Hostgator, nothing more to say.
Well, maybe there is more to say, you are smarter than to use them, especially knowing some of your businesses.

Could it be looooove or be loooove haha
Thanks bro I appreciate it.
Maybe I switch when my 3-year package expires in November. That's exactly on Black Friday days, so maybe I can get some massive discount on a better host around that time.
Cheers

The few dollars are not going to change your life but the hosting issue(s) can cause a cash flow issue.

Well, see, because it ain't broken, right?
My sites are up, we're working, we're handling business.
Sure, we get banned for CPU usage, then we have unannounced downtime, then I suspect we get lied to by support about the nature of the downtime, then our sites are kinda slow sometimes because of the slow server, etc.
So it's not all fun and games, but for the most part the sites are up and running, and we get exactly what we paid for.
One of the good things about me is that my business isn't reliant on my websites having 100% uptime anymore. Meaning, I'm not gonna lose a handful of massive resellers I have buying my services. Those people don't even visit my website. And if they do and it's down for a few minutes, they're not gonna go looking for someone else to provide them what only I provide
This is unlike back in the day when I had my little site and spammed the internet, and it was important for my sites to be up all the time because that random dude that I spammed on Twitter or Soundcloud or found me on quora or a blog post where I left a comment, he can't be visiting my site for the first time and not being able to access it. We lost him right there.
But anyway, of course any downtime bothers me and we'll cross that bridge when November comes.
So harsh and im so sensitive. Why the CAPS bro you hurt my feelings bro?
haha

This is an overkill in my opinion...Too many resources but, again, I don´t know what are OP´s server requirements/needs.
I don´t know what is OP´s monthly budget when it comes to hosting.
My best bet is, that it isn´t much since he´s with Hostgator.
How? As far as I know, the Object Cache Pro WP plugin is $95 p/month.
ALWAYS try to avoid any hosting company from the EIG conglomerate.
Hosting companies like...
- Hostgator
- iPage
- Bluehost
- PureHost
- eHost
- FatCow
- Among hundreds of others
Cheaper Alternatives
- Vultr High-Frequency Plan ($6 p/month)
- RunCloud - Basic Plan ($8 p/month)
- Digital Ocean - Basic Droplet ($6 p/month)
- WPX Hosting - Business Plan ($24.99 p/month)
Listen to the man!

No no no... I remember hostgator from my teens, what a shit host. Believe it or not but as much as I abhorr my country I have better (and cheaper) hosting here. With hostgator I always had smth hacked or down. Never again. Change host to a real hosting...

Object caching is NOT a plugin, so no need for that one. Memcached and Redis is the most popular solutions out there.
Edit: An easy to understand article on the subject. Here.

Hostgator has been trash since they were bought out by EIG. They were alright before that. EIG has a reputation for ruining a lot of web hosting companies they bought out.
