[talk] Hosting Recommendations - email/web

[Mikel king]

Charles,

So are you looking to roll all of these sites into a single WordPress Multisite or keep each 100% distinct?

There are a number of WP specialized possibilities that jump top of mind.

WP Engine
Interserver
Bluehost
Site Ground

Cheers,
Mikel

I’m also open to doing the hosting on a VPS somewhere and just dealing with maintaining it myself as part of my volunteer time for the org.  I’m not at all open to self-hosting email for lots of reasons…
