Cheap Hosting - You get what you pay for:
1. "unlimited" isn't unlimited. Storage costs money and no business can offer unlimited hosting for a few bucks a month.
2. Shared hosting - limited resources shared between multiple sites with "unlimited usages"
3. Responsible for your own security
4. Generally responsible for your own backups
5. Pay money to fix a hacked site
Higher-end Hosting:
1. More server resources
2. Site is siloed off from other sites
3. Better support
4. Better security
5. Better backup solutions
6. Staging support
Managed WordPress Hosting:
1. A team available to do all the server management stuff you could want.
Where our Managed WordPress Hosting differs:
1. We keep plugins up to date (within reason)
2. We proactive monitor your site and the resources afforded to it.
3. Multiple backup locations for disaster recovery.
4. eCommerce optimized by default (PHP workers, WooCommerce enhanced)
Bonus:
1. We also provide managed website updating services to keep content up to date.
