Whew! A bit wordy if you ask me… . . . If you want more words and are considering making the switch to Cloudways, let me help you with the setup. Here’s my video walking you through the setup and explaining why I choose the options I choose. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJaFl696irTWm7Q.html

This is probably one of the best videos I've watched on youtube comparing these popular hosting services. Thank you! It's all very useful information

Ease of use and support are worth so much more than I can express - especially when you're trying to do your accounting, legal, marketing, and content creation. Being your own IT support when you started a blog to write is a head wrecker.

That's the biggest difference I've noticed between working in an office and working for yourself; working for someone else there is usually someone to help with the stuff you don't know how to do. You only have to know how to do your own job. Working for yourself you have to know how to do all the jobs. That's why 'Service' is such a big thing at the beginning when you're learning all the jobs simultaneously.

You have the best, most well-laid-out video on this topic on KZread, Ricky! Thank you. We'll most likely be switching to Cloudways, and we'll use your affiliate link to kick back some appreciation to you!

I really appreciate your evaluation criteria. I do wonder about the scale of your hand drawn chart, however... 😄

Thank you... For taking the time to create this very informative video. You have a new subscriber!

ah, i love you! Thank you for helping us determine bandwidth and which server to use (vulture, etc.) on Cloudways!!

I guess there are several things one have to be mindful of in Blogging. Nice for the eye opener

Nice work Ricky, et Al creating great content as usual I just missed the boat by renewing with WPX for the next 12 months, only issue I seem to have is my backup using server space!! Just set the file spilt to 125mb and will see if that helps 👍

This is you. I happy for you. Thank for the info.

Always love to listen you . Full of complete information 🙂

Thanks for another awesome video- you answered a couple of questions I have been wondering about

I didn't realise hosting impacted indexing!! I thought it was all about security, speed and cost.

Setting up the emails on a website on CloudWays always threw me, I was unfamiliar with the jargon and options. If you'd be kind enough to do a walk-through video showing how to set up transactional emails with Cloudways, and explain if its needed and if there are work around etc, it would be so very helpful.

Why hosting instead of Virtual private servers? You can install WP on VPS

this is awesome! Thanks for the wisdom

This is a good video but I got to admit, I never put much thought into hosting. Thanks for the information!

Fantastically informative video! I'll definitely refer back to this once my page views get above what blue host can handle

Wow, great video Ricky 😁❤️

Hey Ricky, thanks for the breakdown. Just wondering if 'Security' would be another evaluation criteria? Is this just something to worry about with plugins on the theme?

Can you transfer to cloudways from bluehost without losing your SEO or hurting your rankings in anyway?

Really wonderful review finally! No need to watch more videos on this topic :)

Very enjoyable and educational video. Thank you. Any opinion of where a website such as this should be hosted... 1. transient: due to controversial (but not illegal) content issues, at some point it will probably have to migrate elsewhere; 2. newbie: absolute website beginner; 3. customer support: Excellent 'hand-holding', zero interest in technical features, just want to do writing and layout, and very slowly ease in to understanding how it actually work 'under the hood'; 4. very low traffic: for 6-12 months. Within reason, price and speed are not so important.

Very Nice, Thanks for sharing.

Would you recommend a Wordpress subdirectory or subdomain to start blogging off your existing site?

Love cloudways as well!

I've never had a site go down as often as when I moved to WPX.

Sorry for branching of topic. But I would really like to hear your opinion about the blog I want to start. My expertise fall under Storywriting and teaching people how to write stories. My question is do you think it's going to be a successful site in 2 years. Thanks for giving us wonderful everytime.🥰

Hey Ricky what's your opinion on how detrimental to the rankings would it be to swap your hosting out after the one year mark?

Is there a minimum price to Cloudways? For example, if you're not getting any traffic for the first 7 or 8 months, is there a floor or they just charge pennies? This is great for those of us who procrastinate on getting the site officially launched... wish this wasn't true.

Isn't bluehost VPS hosting good with 2tb bandwidth? Can I use it for 150000 pageviews per month? Won't we get better speed in vps hosting?

It really shouldn’t. The ad placements won’t be affected so you shouldn’t see any impact. Changing themes causes changes to ad placements so the Ezoic AI has too re-optimize everything. Changing hosts is completely behind the scenes and had no impact on site content or layout.

Definitely Cloudways. Probably on a 2gb or 4gb plan on VULTR high frequency servers. In the video I link to in the description I show you how to figure out what level you need. With Cloudways, as your traffic increases and you need more bandwidth, you just bump up to the next level for a little more cost per month. None of this jumping from $30 to $100 per month to get to the next tier.

What do you think of AWS Lightsail?

It’s basically another Bluehost in a lot of ways. They’re both EIG companies. I’m a fan of saving but I think people would have a lot less headaches if we just used better hosting from the start. It’s just been too expensive. Cloudways changed that.

@@IncomeSchool I think I'd prefer $30 and 7% lifetime commissions over $300. It's less upfront but long term much better.

So I did the math. If I got the average blogger to spend $100 per month (not gonna happen) it would take over 3 1/2 years to earn that $300 commission. It’s more likely that the average blogger will eventually spend more like $25 per month. In that case it’ll take over 14 years… That $300 today sounds pretty nice. Thanks for commenting. I appreciate you adding your insight. Just because there is an affiliate commission doesn’t mean the content is bought.

@@IncomeSchool that's a good point, but in order to get that $300 commission, the sale must've been alot. Even if that's a 50% commission that is a $600 sale. The conversion rate would be much smaller at that point, so $300 would be awesome but you would probably make less commissions. I definitely don't think you guys were bought, that's rediculous. You clearly did your research and found a great company and in return you make commissions on your referrals.
