Dear Techie’s & Web Guru’s
I need some advice and hoped this would be a good place to start, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Sorry for the long post, but really want to nail this one time and not have to rebuild it again till I am in a much better financial / time position.
Long story short I will need to host maybe 20 small 5 page ish general business sites and a few slightly bigger ones (maybe 20 pages with an online shop / blog) .
Of these site, hopefully the smaller ones will have about 10000 or 15000 view per month. So I need the best way to do this as I’ve tried a few reseller programs in the past and they are **** poor without even having any real traffic and false promises of subscriptions that allow unlimited domains!
I can’t at present afford a dedicated server nor have the time to dedicate to running it, so it seems my option is VPS or cloud hosting (either with whm / cpanel). Which way would you guys go, they work out kind of the same price and the scalability.
One thing that’s interesting at the moment with the exchange rate, is the deals back home in the UK maybe better value / on par with the US hosts I was originally thinking off, so interested in any recommendations (except go daddy, green geeks or hostgator).
My second dilemma is that some customers may want to access their sites, to make edits (simple stuff like change / add photo’s, edit text) so I figure the easiest why to do this would be wordpress multisite with divi / vc / some friendlyish backend? Any other thoughts, I really haven’t got time to learn and build the majority of stuff in bootstrap and html, although this what I’d like to do where ever I can and I know the customer is unlikely to want or hardly change anything ever.
