Well there is this FANTASTIC company out there called Dara IT. You can choose from a list of providers and they do all the config, handle billing, support. Oh it is a dream to work with those guys.

O rly?
For OTHER people. We USE web hosting.

What's going on with this then?
I posted about this previously on ML https://mangolassi.it/topic/9839/aso-alternative?page=1
Moved out of ASO long time back, with Cloudways and very happy about their options, uptime and overall ease of use. You can choose from Amazon, DigitalOcean, Google, Vultr, and KYUP, cloudways act as a management interface. I really like the option of Lets Encrypt with auto renewal and managing WordPress through that is easier too. Pricing start with $7

For just WordPress, it looks pretty great.

Sure, but show me an expensive once that is good. Cloudways looks great, but lacks a Softaculous-like component that a lot of people are looking for.

Softaculous, like I said
Softaculous has nearly 500 web apps that it installs and manages for you. Cloudways has like five. -
@JaredBusch Do you have any WP sites on Vultr using the OneClick app?

@JaredBusch Do you have any WP sites on Vultr using the OneClick app?
No, because all of the wordpress sites I have out there were live long before I knew about Vultr.
Current services are paid for and there is no point to switching until that changes

Would you use the One Click app for it or just install yourself? I'm setting up our Vultr LAMP stack and just doing it myself right now.

Depends. We are not a hosting service. I would be setting this up for a client if I was doing it. In that case, I would make the decision based on if I would ever, in the near future, need a second site on the service. In that case I would roll it on CentOS myself.

And if it was only ever going to be a single site, what then? Would you still pick Vultr 1click?

Having never used it, I would test it at that point with a dummy site, but yes.

WP-CLI does simple installs.

- A2 hosting (I picked them, because a quick google search yielded a comparison site, listing A2 as a pretty good option.)
I take it that you missed their thread this week where they were shown to be ridiculously slow?
I moved to A2 a few months ago,.
We were with GoDaddy (no comments needed), and switched to ASO at the recommendation of ML. But the speed at ASO was very lacking, and at the time A2 was awesome.
I, myself, have noticed that my WP sites are now back.............to...................being.............slow at A2, so not sure what is going on over there, but I have a lot of development to do on a new site, and I'm going to be moving away from A2 pretty quickly if it doesn't get fixed.

I believe @scottalanmiller usually recommends against spinning up 1-click applications.
Though I have been highly considering it, so will be interested to hear a response...

Since Vultr has 1-click installs for NextCloud & WP, do we really need Cloudways?

Depends on the amount of management and oversight you want to dedicate to something. As well as the skill level in house at the company needing it.
It is silly to pay for continued IT services for something like Wordpress.
