Choose hosting around what the app does. A content site, web app and background bot have different runtime needs.
Web hosting
For a WordPress site, check PHP, database support and file persistence. Review plugin maintenance and backup recovery in the plan terms.
Virtual machines
A virtual machine may suit a custom operating system or service. Establish who handles updates, networking and app maintenance.
Deploying existing code
For repository-based deployment, define build and runtime commands and data requirements. App hosting and IaaS have different availability gates. Lunax’s virtual-machine cloud currently has no active region; check each service separately.
