- Benchmarked ten identical WP sites: $6 VPS vs $35 managed host
Learn nginx because you want to, not to save $29. The $29 is not your problem at zero revenue, output is.

Solid. The tooling matters way less than people think here.

As a beginner this is reassuring. I was about to spend a weekend learning nginx to save $29 on a site that makes nothing yet.

Agreed, and I could not measure it so I left it out. Both managed incidents during the window were resolved before I noticed them.

I tried something close to this last year and it fell over at scale. Curious whether yours holds.

Would also add: the managed host saves you on the day something breaks, not on an average Tuesday. Hard to benchmark and the main thing you are buying.

- Benchmarked ten identical WP sites: $6 VPS vs $35 managed host
Ten sites on one box is where I landed. $20 VPS, ten sites, and the whole thing costs less than one managed plan. The failure mode is that one bad site takes down ten, which has happened to me exactly once and was enoug…

The 95th percentile framing is the useful contribution here. Everyone benchmarks medians because medians make cheap hosting look fine.

- Benchmarked ten identical WP sites: $6 VPS vs $35 managed host
Same theme, same plugins, same content, same database dump. Five on a $6/month VPS I configured myself, five on a well-known $35/month managed host. Measured over three weeks. Time to first byte, median, from four regio…

The "backups tested monthly" line is the differentiator and most hosts cannot claim it honestly.

What it is: I run your servers so you do not have to learn to. Included: provisioning, hardening, backups tested monthly (not just configured), monitoring with actual alerts to a human, and migrations. $34/mo per server…
