Placeholder body — replace with the final draft. The decision matrix below is the skeleton for the editorial pass.
Shared, VPS, or managed?
Shared hosting wins on price but caps you at 99.9% SLAs and shared CPU. VPS gives root access and predictable resources at 2–4× the cost. Managed cloud abstracts ops away but charges a premium of 20–40% for the convenience.
What "unlimited bandwidth" really means
It means soft-capped, with traffic spikes throttled at the load balancer. Read the AUP before committing — that's where the actual ceiling lives.
