WordPress Hosting

[NickLim]

Hi,

I am making a wordpress hosting company.

The hosting will be cloud based, come with CDN, DDOS Mitigation, and website optimization by default.

What kind of features, pricing, and suggestions do you guys and girls have?

Best,
Nick

Carefully... and with a lot more detail than you've given

A few questions to ask:

• Monthly budget?
• One site, or several sites? WP Multisite?
• Is SSL required?
• Traffic (average per day/month, max per minute/day/hour/month)
• Uptime requirements?
• Is the site easily cacheable (publishing/blogging), or highly dynamic (logged in users, web app)? Ideal caching type (plugin, Varnish, object caching, memcache, redis)?
• Support needs (24/7, phone, email, chat, dedicated support rep)?
• Level of technical savvy - or how much do you want the host to manage (bare bones server, VPS, all the way up to WordPress, WordPress as well)?
• Do you need a single site hosted, or a dev, stage, and live environment?
• Will deployment be handled by via FTP/SFTP, or Git push?
• Geographic location of majority of users?
• Political and/or governmental concerns (EU Privacy laws, etc)?
• HIPAA compliance required?
• Built in CDN, or BYOCDN?

Theres a few more, but these are the primary questions I ask when choosing a host for a client.
