I’ve been using InMotion’s VPS plan with CWP for the past few years and I’m looking to find a new solution. I own 4 domains for emails (old business emails and emails for subscriptions), but I only use 1 domain for a WordPress site for my business and work emails. I’ve been using VPS to get a dedicated IP because I had issues with former hosts where my emails would bounce due to blacklisting. I really like InMotion VPS as it’s expensive and the CWP has been a pain to use. I can’t even upload a plugin for WordPress without it timing out and if I try to increase file size and bandwidth it crashes out. I think I have a fairly cost-effective solution and wanted to be sure it made sense before moving forward. I would get a WordPress Hosting Plan with a reliable host running cPanel for $10-$15 then use Google Workspace with my domain name for my business email for $15 a month. That’s less than half the price of my InMotion VPS plan when it renews in July and I’ll be on cPanel instead of CWP. Thoughts? submitted by /u/brashtracks [link] [comments]

Hi, I’m running a WordPress site on Namecheap EasyWP (Starter plan) and I’m unable to force a www → non-www redirect. Environment: WordPress hosted on EasyWP Domain registered with Namecheap DNS correctly pointing to EasyWP SSL active for both www and non-www No access to .htaccess (Nginx-based setup) main issue: Both versions of the site load independently: https://example.com https://www.example.com I want non-www to be the canonical version, but www does not redirect. What I’ve tried so far: Setting WordPress Address and Site Address to non-www Redirect plugins (Redirection, canonical settings, etc.) Namecheap Domain Redirect (301, wildcard enabled) Namecheap Advanced DNS URL Redirect Record Contacting Namecheap support (they could not apply a server-level redirect) None of these methods worked reliably — both URLs still resolve. So the question is: Is this a known limitation of EasyWP Starter? Has anyone successfully enforced a www → non-www 301 redirect on EasyWP without using Cloudflare or switching hosting providers? If Cloudflare is truly the only solution, I’d appreciate confirmation from someone who has implemented it. Thanks! submitted by /u/Temporary_Pizza_4890 [link] [comments]

When choosing a VPS for a specific project, how do you evaluate which configuration is the right fit, and which factors such as cost structure, resource performance, bandwidth capacity, service reliability, and server location, carry the most weight in your decision? submitted by /u/ProfessionalBasis477 [link] [comments]

I’m currently finalizing a migration for my e-commerce store and I’m leaning towards a high-spec VPS setup for the flexibility of snapshots and vertical scaling. https://startwordpress.com/2026/01/08/building-your-wordpress-website-a-3-part-beginner-series/ However, while comparing providers, I noticed that features in the post above suggested other hosting like DDoS protection, Multi-IP support, and High Bandwidth (1Gbps+) are advertised on both VPS and Dedicated/Bare Metal tiers. Would love to hear from anyone who has switched from a high-end VPS to Bare Metal, was the “enhanced” networking/protection actually noticeable, or just marketing fluff? submitted by /u/Emergency-Shame5468 [link] [comments]
