Frequently Asked Questions — WordPress on AIC Cloud
Can a ₹99/month VPS handle WordPress?
Yes — properly configured (Nginx + PHP-FPM + Redis object cache + page caching plugin), AIC Cloud Essential 1 GB at ₹99/mo handles WordPress sites with up to ~10,000 monthly visitors. For 10K-30K monthly visitors, the 2 GB tier (₹199/mo) is recommended. For 50K+ visitors, consider 4-8 GB.
WordPress on VPS vs managed WordPress hosting — which is better?
Self-managed VPS (AIC Cloud) gives you full control and ~5-10× lower cost vs managed WordPress (Kinsta, WP Engine). Managed WP hosts handle updates, backups, and optimization for you at premium prices. For developers comfortable with Linux, AIC Cloud VPS is the better value. For non-technical users, managed hosting saves time.
How do I migrate WordPress from shared hosting to AIC Cloud VPS?
Use Duplicator or All-in-One WP Migration plugin to create a backup, then upload to your AIC Cloud VPS, set up LEMP stack, import the backup. For larger sites (>500 MB), use manual migration: tar your wp-content directory, mysqldump your database, scp both to the VPS, restore. AIC's support team can assist for free.
Which caching plugins work best on AIC Cloud VPS?
LiteSpeed Cache works if you install LiteSpeed web server. For Nginx setups, W3 Total Cache (free) or WP Rocket (paid) are excellent. Combine with Redis Object Cache plugin for server-side caching. Free Cloudflare CDN at the front for edge caching. This stack delivers Pagespeed 90+ scores on a ₹99 VPS.
Can I run WooCommerce on a ₹99 VPS?
Yes for small stores (up to ~100 orders/day, 50 SKUs). For larger WooCommerce stores with payment gateways, complex product catalogs, or 500+ daily orders, use the 2 GB (₹199/mo) or 4 GB (₹399/mo) tier. WooCommerce needs more RAM than vanilla WordPress due to product/cart sessions.
