uPress managed server vs. private VPS server
Why should WordPress users move to a managed server for WordPress sites instead of moving to a VPS server?
There is already a long discussion about the differences between a shared server and a VPS server. Most people know that a shared server is good and nice for blogs and very small WordPress sites, and at some point when they realize they need to upgrade – here the question arises:
Why should WordPress users move to a managed server for WordPress sites instead of moving to a VPS server?
Due to a lack of awareness among people who hold VPS servers in great esteem (and not without reason),
We decided to make a comparison, a comparison of a UPRESS managed server versus a private server (VPS),
And here are the results:
(and this does not change between all the types of testing tools with which the test is performed)
uPress managed server
|
VPS private server Original performance measurement: response time and connection/download stages for a test from Tel Aviv. Historical test results, not a current performance guarantee. |
| uPress hosts only WordPress sites, so that once you perform an in-depth analysis and understand how the WordPress system works, you can improve performance and security very significantly, because you focus on one system and all resources work in a way that is optimal for it.
If you rely on your site for your livelihood, security and performance are the two most important factors that can leave you with a huge amount of frustration and nights without sleep. By feel, from the tests we have run, and from our monitoring system – uPress delivers truly impressive speed to all the WordPress sites hosted with us. In addition, Google Analytics also reports to our monitoring system about daily checks being performed on the WordPress sites hosted with us. |
The best private server you can get will come with at least 20 support emails per month, while it takes them time to find the source of the slowness on your site, and once they find it – the solution to the problem will be your job and your problem, and that can keep you up all night.
The speed tests on a private server are okay, but inconsistent. A simple check in Google Analytics, which performs a daily check and reports an average at the end of the month, will arrive at an average result of 14-20 seconds. Google doesn't like sites with slow loading speed, and you probably haven't thought about it – but you are being penalized for it in your SEO. |

It is important to note that your site's search engine ranking will rise significantly in direct proportion to the site's speed.

VPS private serverThe cheapest tier of a private server will cost you $50 a month if you want cPanel included; without cPanel you can get a server for $10 a month. Every tier you want to upgrade (whether adding read/write speed to the server, a firewall, an SSL certificate, an Apache service, an Nginx service, and so on) will cost you between $20-$30 a month. For a relatively good private server you will pay roughly $80 a month, and you will have to carry out every change, development, update, maintenance, restart, breach monitoring, security-module installation, and a variety of other actions that you get for granted on a managed server, on your own. It's time to weigh the considerations for yourself. |
A quality product costs accordingly
Based on our professional experience, it doesn't matter how powerful your server is (traffic, capacity, speed),
Just as it matters whether your server is optimized for your needs and properly planned for your site, which in our case is a WordPress site.
A VPS server is not optimized for WordPress sites, and performance will suffer as a result. Period.
