managed hosting
With managed hosting, you're not just renting storage space, but also the support. The provider takes care of server maintenance, security updates, backups, and monitoring; you focus on your content.
The difference compared to traditional web hosting becomes apparent in a critical situation. If an update goes wrong, a working version is restored before you even notice the error. If a security vulnerability in WordPress is discovered, it's patched without you having to take any action.
Managed hosting costs more than a basic website builder plan for a few euros a month. However, the investment pays off as soon as your website starts generating revenue: a single two-day outage or a hacked site costs more than a year's worth of maintenance.
Things to consider: Are backups performed daily and stored off-site? How quickly can you reach support? Are premium licenses for the theme and plugins included, or do they cost extra?
