When choosing a VPS or hosting for a WordPress site, you need to consider the following points:
- how much resources the site uses (disk, inodes, cpu, and ram);
- PHP version and which modules the site uses;
- the budget you can allocate for hosting.
If you have a small website, it is better to consider hosting plans, for example,
"WordPress Hosting" from hostpro.com.
If your site uses a large number of resources for correct operation, you should choose a VPS, for example,
NVMe VPS.
The difference between shared hosting and VPS is that hosting is already configured for the correct operation of the site, while VPS must be configured manually. In addition, you need to purchase control panel licenses separately to manage your VPS (cPanel, DirectAdmin, etc.). You can also use free control panels (CyberPanel, CWP), but they are limited in functionality.
If possible, consider hosting your site on shared hosting plans.
If your site requires more resources, you can contact technical support for help with the setup. The guys from hostpro.com helped me with this issue for free.
In any case, rely on the requirements of your site.
