I'm a marketing pro that's taking on a freelance client separate from my office job work.

They have a current website built in Wix that they've just set up to get started, but are wanting my help "upgrading it." We'll essentially be starting from scratch (design & copy), so I'm thinking of moving it to Wordpress.

The question is, where should I host?

In my office job, we host sites on WP Engine, but I'm not sure that's necessary for their site. It's a rather simple consulting website, but they do want to eventually put resources on the site that people purchase.

Additional context:

• My web dev skills are limited
• I'll likely use elementor to design the site
• I'd want them to own the license/subscription and me be a contributor on the site

I've researched Elementor hosting, Flywheel, Cloud-ways and Siteground, but I just can't decide what would work best. Right now, it's just one client site. I want something reliable, and I don't want to lead them astray.

• What is your monthly budget? I don't have a specific budget, but client would be paying.
• Where are you/your users located? U.S.
• What kind of site are you hosting (Wordpress, phpBB, custom software, etc) or what is your use case? Wordpress
• Do you have a monthly traffic volume? 3-5k
• If you’re looking at VPSes: Do you have experience administrating linux servers and infrastructure? No
• Did you read the sidebar/check out the hosts listed there? I've personally vetted these companies and their services are a good fit for 99% of people.
