Solved Wordpress website for non-technical user/manager

@Breffni-Potter Sigh... And I was just about to mark this questions as "answered."

How is basic webhosting a market that is so hard to get a good product in?

Because its a race to the bottom commodity service.

Give up the idea that you can get good service for cheap these days. It just does not work. You need to pay more if you want good service.

Sure, but show me an expensive once that is good. Cloudways looks great, but lacks a Softaculous-like component that a lot of people are looking for.

I run a single site on a VPS. It's easier to manage Drupal installations that way. It's set for auto update and it automatically does a backup of the site/database each night and ships it off. It's as simple as drush archive-restore on a new machine.

Well there is this FANTASTIC company out there called Dara IT. You can choose from a list of providers and they do all the config, handle billing, support. Oh it is a dream to work with those guys.

What's going on with this then?

I posted about this previously on ML https://mangolassi.it/topic/9839/aso-alternative?page=1

Moved out of ASO long time back, with Cloudways and very happy about their options, uptime and overall ease of use. You can choose from Amazon, DigitalOcean, Google, Vultr, and KYUP, cloudways act as a management interface. I really like the option of Lets Encrypt with auto renewal and managing WordPress through that is easier too. Pricing start with $7

For just WordPress, it looks pretty great.

Softaculous, like I said Softaculous has nearly 500 web apps that it installs and manages for you. Cloudways has like five.

@JaredBusch Do you have any WP sites on Vultr using the OneClick app?

No, because all of the wordpress sites I have out there were live long before I knew about Vultr.

Current services are paid for and there is no point to switching until that changes

Would you use the One Click app for it or just install yourself? I'm setting up our Vultr LAMP stack and just doing it myself right now.
