Server requirements

Do I really need to do that? What BuddyPress custom fields am I gonna miss if I dont?

“activating another theme and re-activating whoop”
I’m confuse. Do i need to activate another theme? I though im only deactivating and activating whoop?

Okay, thanks!

I have used Webfusion’s VPS for the last few years and found it fine but did have to learn to find my way around Plesk! I realise I might need to upgrade to dedicated at some stage but have no idea if I will then have to learn how to run and manage that too! Need to research that.

I will look at Paolo’s suggestion of Cloudways too for the future, as if you can easily upgrade when you want by clicking a button, that is a boon. When I bought my VPS they said you could simply increase the capacity if needed but when I enquired recently they said I would have to buy another VPS, which was not what they initially led me to believe. It’s ok at the moment though.

I found with shared hosting there were things that you had no control over and others you were unable to do. You only find out that you don’t have certain permissions when you are prevented from doing something you need. These cannot be changed either.

A blog on this would be helpful to people Paolo, as it was a learning curve for me 😉

I am not a fan of GoDaddy either!
