I am using this one and they seem solid on the security front at least.

What I hate is how they don't give you more than one email for web hosting unless you pay some amount per additional inbox.

But you can always configure and install software using the terminal on VPS hosting right?

It should be yes.

But people should be aware that with buying a hosting package, whether that's shared or dedicated (= VPS) in combination with wordpress, is terrible advice. Wordpress is clumsy, needs proper optimization since the core package in combination with themes or plugins is just terrible. It will get attacked on a daily basis and perhaps even in the hundreds amounts of times a day (so security = must). Most security plugins are CPU based - so the more load your wordpress site causes the higher the consumption or load.

I have a large AMD Epyc with 64 cores and 128 threads, over 128GB of memory but it's just absurd how bone stock wordpress is consuming "just to spawn a page". Because of that i need licences on litespeed enterprise, cloudlinux, immunify 360 and perform magic under the hood in regards of software tweaks to get things done right. On top of that a CDN to block most common bot traffic is not a bad thing.

Not all clients understand the effects of either not updating their website, or leaving "expired" themes or plugins as leftovers to be hacked. None of the security plugins provide on a file system level any security - as a leak JS or PHP file could be exploited just like that, and any user added with admin rights. Its just waiting to get hacked and be part of another botnet or spamhouse.

If people base their site on wordpress, know what you begin with. A bigger server is not going to suddenly make things better. You'll still face the same issues 50 million other websites have at this moment.
