FAQ

Common questions

Managed WordPress or shared hosting?

If WordPress is mission-critical or you'd rather not touch caching, choose managed. If you're starting out and want flexibility, a quality shared LiteSpeed host is plenty.

Do I need a separate CDN?

Most premium WordPress hosts bundle one. For shared hosts, free Cloudflare is usually enough until you scale.
