How can you host WordPress on VPS and cloud?

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) or Cloud based server is just like a regular server in that it can house many kinds of websites, including WordPress. The thing about hosting is that some hosts are more ‘managed’ than others and this is the same with VPS and Cloud hosting.

WordPress is most commonly used by non-technical people and if that’s you then you may want to use WordPress on a managed VPS or cloud like I have outlined in section 1. If you are a more technical user you may want to use those VPS and cloud plans in section 2 which will give you more freedom but require more understanding of server admin to use properly.

Most of these hosts have a one click install for WordPress sites so once you have your hosting account you can do so from your private dashboard with the host you choose.

PROTIP:

You can view all of the VPS and Cloud hosts we have catalogued or indeed all of the WordPress hosts can also be searched and compared.
If you are interested in wen hosts which have their servers located in the USA we hav you covered.

VPS and Cloud Plans which you can install WordPress one and use (more advanced users)

PROTIP:

If you are an advanced user you may be interested in reselling and hence a host plan with multiple cPanel licenses, of VPS that use Plesk instead, VPS with their own IP address(s) or non EIG owned VPS for better customer service, a VPS which you can pay monthly. In addition you may be migrating a WordPress site from an old host and this can be done either with a plugin (quicker) or manually if you have the need for it.
