Why We Recommend Cloudways for Membership Website
Introduction
Entrepreneurs, Content Creators or any Individual who are going to create a Membership Website should avoid Shared Hosting. Yes, Shared Hosting is cheap and can save you some dollars, but Membership Website unlike normal website is Resource Rich. It consumes more Server Resources.
You can go for Traditional Linux VPS but you have to maintain and manage the Server on your own and Installing WordPress & other support tools like Nginx, Litespeed (Web Servers), Apache, Varnish, Redis (Caching) on the Server is a Tedious job. You have to take multiple Job roles such as Website Admin, Security Expert, Montitoring Speed and Performance of the Server, etc
Most of the Individual afraid to Start a Membership Website because Its hard to maintain and Manage Server Resources on their Own. But if you go with Cloudways – Managed Cloud Hosting Provider they can handle everything and All you can do is to produce Quality content to your Members.
Especially when you receive traffic and gaining a lot of Signups and Members are joined, you might even need more Server Resources (Likely to increase RAM & CPU)

I run a Membership Website & I am running it on a Managed Cloud hosting only. I too made a mistake by starting off with Shared Hosting. But Trust me, within few months, my website got slower and It take a minute to open my WordPress Admin Dashboard. At that point, I decided to move on to VPS. The Drawback of Traditional VPS is you have to be a Server Expert and U need to have the Coding Skill to run / Install any Sripts or Software
I am not a Techie Person. I am as same as you are. I have an Idea to make money but I don’t know anything about Managing Server
Then while searching upon Internet, I finally found Cloudways and give it a try. Boom, You cant believe I launched a Fresh Website within 5 Minutes just by few clicks (No coding knowledge required).
