Is managed wordpress hosting bad for seo?

[alan-shultis]

hi,

i would like to create my own website, but I am confused either to choose cpanel hosting or managed wordpress

Hi there,

Usually, a managed WordPress hosting means that the hosting company handles back-ups and some other administrative related tasks. I do not think you will see a huge SEO impact by choosing "managed WordPress" hosting over Cpanel hosting at this stage. I would go with shared Cpanel hosting if you are starting out with your own website.

Agreeing with Ross's answer above, in the end, the impact of this on your overall SEO strategy. In most cases, the bigger managed WP hosting services out there have their business in order quite well and you are likely to benefit from their faster servers than trying to run a lot of it yourself.
