Pros and Cons – Managed WordPress Websites vs Web Hosting
Managed WordPress Websites
| Feature | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Daily updates | Daily plugin and theme updates help your website to remain secure, and to display well on new browsers and devices. Read WPMUDev’s article on the importance of updates. | Updates occasionally affect layout or functionality. You may wish to check your website regularly or take out a service agreement and ask us to check for you. |
| Security | Websites are protected by premium Wordfence WordPress security firewall software and monitoring. This software blocks hackers, fending off several thousand login attacks per day. Current software licence value $225 annually. In addition, we respond to – and resolve – security warnings for you. | |
| Uptime | If the managed WordPress websites become unavailable, we notice quickly and fix them! | |
| Functionality | We’ve already installed the Wordpress plugins that we’ve found most reliable and useful. For example, contact forms, Paypal buttons, and search engine optimisation aids. We only install well-reviewed, well-supported plugins. | Occasionally a plugin causes a problem and we need to remove it. |
Independent Web Hosting

| Feature | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Updates | You control updates. You’re aware of all changes on your website. | Updates aren’t applied unless you log in regularly to run them or create measures to make sure this happens. In the meantime, your website is vulnerable to known security problems and bugs that have since been fixed. If this concerns you, consider taking out a service agreement so that we can do this for you. |
| Security | Your website may be vulnerable to login attacks. If you’re concerned, we can advise you on specialist security software. | |
| Independence | Your website is independent of all other websites. For complex websites, this is essential. We recommend that you use web hosting if you’re planning an online store, member site, forum or anything else with high traffic and complex elements. |
