    You can use our dedicated server with Plesk - easy to manage and quick - i've had 500 sites on it before with high traffic and 1000 domains no problem

    As someone who has many servers. Have a look at OVH if the site needs a UK host or Hetzner if you're wanting a bit more value for money but are ok with a bit of latency.

    £19.90/year with us (HostMaria.com).

    you can ask @Sam for the feedback.

    the same that 20i sells here: https://www.20i.com/web-hosting , only cheaper, unlimited sites, much more allowances, and, with all the all the premium features.

    .. if you choose to get it, let me know and I will enable ssh for you (note: 'sudo', of course, is disabled)

    Best!

    Great hosting and I’m not just saying that I have my own dedicated server and VPS server for some sites but hostmaria hosting is good and with the right tweaks you can get it just as fast as a VPS.

    of course :)

    .. usually for more power, you add more PHP resources. :) All good, of course, :)

    contabo offers nice VPSs: https://contabo.com/en/vps/ .. £7/month plans should be fine to start testing how many WP sites you can get on 1 VPS: https://contabo.com/en/vps/
    .. the issue is: times by times there are downtime, though always resolved in decent times.

    Best of success!!

    Not yet but I am looking at it for my non-dynamic websites.

    I saw this post and wondered why I never heard people mention them.

    Even just shared hosting with cloudflare set to cache everything would be sufficient.

    You can do static sites on cloudflare pages. 25,000 files and 25mb limit as part of free plan. You can also do static sites on Github for free.

    Brilliant shout.

    I have a few static websites hosted on Cloudflare workers, but Cloudflare pages makes getting up and running super easy when you use their tooling. So many technologies supported as well.
