What Is Hosting? Shared Hosting ! Shared with lots
of people ! Limited resources ! Hard to add features (PHP upgrades etc) VPS Hosting ! Just you! ! As many resources as you can afford ! You can add on any feature you want
Managed Hosting ! Tuned for WordPress ! No
‘root’ (we manage the features) ! Not shared ! Faster than Shared, as fast as VPS
A Tale of Two Servers From Shared to Managed From
VPS to Managed
Charles Darnay DickensLit – Literary resource and reference for all
things Charles Dickens
Sydney Carlton The Devil In Dickens - Social Injustice In
Dickens’ London Community
It Was The Best Of Times High Traffic High Visibility
Great SEO
It Was The Worst Of Times Server Crashes Downtime Loss
of visitors
DickensLit Trade the VPS for managed
It Was The Age Of Wisdom Surge in traffic Change
in traffic type Server getting old
It Was The Age of Foolishness Slow Performance Server Costs
Increase Server Admin Busy Admin Skills Limited Poor social media choices…
It Was The Epoch of Belief True Managed Servers
It Was The Epoch of Incredulity Caching on the server?
Why not!
It Was The Season Of Light Amazing Support from WordPress
Experts!
It Was The Season of Darkness They’re not your consultants
The Devil in Dickens Upgrade from Shared to Managed
It Was The Spring of Hope Customized Servers Memory managed
for you
It Was The Winter of Despair Only WordPress No Root
Access
We Had Everything Before Us Easily upgrade everything? Why not!
We Had Nothing Before Us Some plugins and themes aren’t
welcome.
We Were All Going Direct To Heaven More security, more
memory, more stability.
We Were All Going Direct The Other Way Proxy +
Proxy + Proxy + Cache? It can work….
-- in short…. They came to the same conclusion
It Was Time For Managed Hosting
… the period was so far like the present period,
that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
The End (Questions?) It is a far, far better thing
that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.
