Good Scalable WordPress Hosting?

2 pointstido992 comments

Looking for good scalable WordPress hosts apart from the standard Siteground, Bluehost etc.

Price is definitely a factor but I'd prefer something where costs and resources available are scalable as some of the websites receive traffic surges that don't warrant paying for those resources year round, and obviously compatible with WordPress.

Thanks!

You can consider scalable packages offered by Jelastic, they provide standalone and clustered installations of WordPress (based on NGINX or LiteSpeed servers).

Standalone is much cheaper and totally suitable for medium size projects. The resources are scaled automatically and the price is based on actual consumption, so can be a good fit for you.

But of course it's better if you give more details about your requirements to understand what configuration will suit.

How comfortable with doing a lot of the work of maintaining the web server yourself are you?
