Managed WordPress Hosting is one of those Web Hosting Plan category
that confuses people to no end because of it’s premium cost
and the seeming lack of understanding on the part of the customers
as to why such a category of plans exist in the first place.
In this Article, we will be explain
What is Managed Web Hosting and How is it different from Regular Web Hosting?
and then go over 4 Reliable Managed WordPress Hosting Providers
that I’ve personally used or have a great reputation because of their excellent services.
Also, before moving forward, know that everything in this article is subjective and based on my personal opinion
your experience may vary based on your technical skills and understand of your purchases.
So, without further ado, let’s get started!
What is the Difference between Regular Web Hosting and Managed Web Hosting?
In Regular Web Hosting Plans that customers can find at most of the Web Hosting Providers,
the customers is provided with the hardware resources such as CPU, RAM, Storage, Bandwidth, etc
but other than providing these resources, the customer won’t find any additional features, tools or services.
The Servers are generic, designed to work with everything
and even the customer support is highly generalized and might be provided via a third party
which means that you won’t be able to get any noteworthy support
with respect to the particular platform that your website was made from.
Contrary to that, in Managed Web Hosting, other than providing the customers with the hardware resources
the servers will be highly optimized for a particular platform based on the plan
so, for example, A Server for Managed WordPress Hosting
will be optimized for maximizing the Performance and Security of a WordPress Website
You might also be provided with dedicated tools that help in managing the website directly from Dashboard of the Web Hosting Provider.
One example of such tool can be being able to turn WordPress Plugins on and off directly from the Web Hosting Dashboard without having to log in to WordPress.
Other than that, the customer support will usually be done by the Hosting Providers themselves
with qualified staff that understands that particular platform and work with it on a regular basis.
This can be a huge advantage if the customer is not technically inclined and will need regular help with managing their websites.
With that difference understood, let’s move on to the Managed Hosting Providers one at a time.

Hostinger
Hostinger is a brand that has taken over the market with it’s Highly Cost Effective yet excellent Web Hosting Services.
It has an excellent category of plans for Shared Managed WordPress Hosting Plans, emphasis on ‘Shared‘
and it might be the cheapest of all the Managed WordPress Plans that you will be able to find.
Now, as these managed hosting plans are Shared,
it might not be a good option for WordPress Sites for ECommerce
or other sites that collect and store sensitive information such as financial details.
The reason behind this is the inherent issue with security on a Shared platform where resources are being shared between multiple people
making everyone vulnerable if even a single user got attacked or hacked because a badly designed website.
On the other hand, for any other information based website, it would be a great solution
as it not only has WordPress Optimized Servers, Excellent Uptime and a great WordPress Specific Customer Support.
