• Feasibility of self managed hosting?

    Posted by Mike Costantini on June 5, 2025 at 10:52 pm

    Watched Hasan’s video last night about self manage VPS hosting.. I’ve been with Cloudways for a while, just the base 1GB plan on Vultr.. How feasible is it really to manage your own VPS if you don’t have the know how? Is it vulnerable to hackers? Has anyone without all kinds of techy server knowledge done this and succeeded with it? Or is it better to stay with managed hosting?

    Hi Mike, how much you pay for your managed hosting? and what you are hosting exactly?

    do you have planned projects?

      The other thing I was considering was going with either the 2 or 3 CPU shared plan at MechanicWeb as I’ve heard good things about them and LiteSpeed is supposed to be better:

      Thing is, I don’t know how their 2 or 3 CPU shared plan would compare to my 1 CPU Vultr server at Cloudways?

    I pay $16.50 per month to Cloudways, and I host two WordPress sites on the 1GB server. Both are Elementor sites, one has WooCommerce, the other doesn’t…

      Are you facing any problems with the current hosting?

      Are you planning to scale?

      More projects?

        No more projects, just my two sites. I don’t know, sometimes it goes slow, but maybe it’s just due to my site. It’s probably not worth it to switch I guess. I don’t even have enough business to justify switching to another host at this point.

          yeah exactly, if everything is fine, dont switch now.

          but I recommend you watch the course and apply even locally as a lab. you will learn a lot of things, and in case you wanna scale and switch later, you will have the background and knowledge to do so
