What should managed hosting cover for ten client websites?

Short answer

The useful comparison is not “which host is fastest?” It is which complete setup covers the work you cannot sustainably own, at a cost that still makes sense across ten separate client sites.

When this decision matters

You are adding clients, renewing a multi-site plan, or spending too much time on routine maintenance.

Questions the setup must answer

  1. Are updates, staging, malware response and restores included or still your responsibility?
  2. Are site limits, storage, traffic and email compared at the same workload?
  3. Can each client eventually own their account, domain and billing?
  4. What happens to first-year pricing at renewal?

Seven dimensions remain visible

A candidate can be inexpensive and still create a poor decision if recovery, ownership, access, or daily work is hidden. The final comparison keeps all seven dimensions available even when the user prioritises only two.
