Lately, SugarHosts users have been reporting major service issues — sites going offline, backups failing, and support going silent. Even if you're not currently using SugarHosts, it's a good reminder:

Your website is a digital asset. Your hosting choice matters.

So in this post, I want to share a few alternative options — both traditional and modern — that might be a better fit for your next move.

🏠 Option 1: Traditional Shared or Managed Hosting (Stable and Familiar)

If you're looking for a quick fix with something familiar, these are popular and reliable hosting choices trusted by users for years:

• Cloudways – Simple backend, supports multiple cloud providers, intuitive UI
• Bluehost – Official WordPress partner, great for creators, budget-friendly
• Kinsta Hosting – Widely used in Taiwan, with a familiar and clean interface

These services are easy to get started with, well-documented, and offer solid support for WordPress deployment and management.

If your main goal is to get your site back online and start publishing again, any of these will do the job well.

🌱 Option 2: Modern Deployment Platforms (Flexible and Future-Proof)

Besides the classic hosting options, there's been a growing wave of newer platforms that make website deployment easier — not just for WordPress, but for all kinds of apps.

Zeabur is one of those platforms. Think of it as a mix between cloud hosting and an automation tool — giving you the flexibility of managing your own infrastructure without the old-school complexity.

🧰 What Makes Zeabur Different?

Zeabur combines cloud-level flexibility with automation, and offers two main deployment options:

✅ Shared Cluster (Fast, Zero Setup)

• One-click WordPress deployment in minutes
• No need to configure servers, DNS, or backups
• Pay-as-you-go pricing (based on memory and bandwidth usage)
• Powered by AWS — one of the most secure and stable cloud providers out there

Perfect for smaller sites, personal blogs, or anyone who just wants a smooth, hands-off setup.

🖥 Dedicated Hosting (Full Control, More Power)

• You can:
  • Bring your own VPS from Linode or Hostinger
  • Or buy one directly from Zeabur (we’ve partnered with Hetzner and DigitalOcean for discounts!)
• Zeabur still manages deployment and monitoring, but you own the server
• Pricing is per server, making budgeting easier

Great for higher-traffic websites or devs who want full control while still enjoying the benefits of platform automation.

✨ Beyond WordPress: Deploy Anything

The best part? WordPress is just one of many templates available on Zeabur.

Want to switch to Ghost, Hexo, Hugo, or deploy a custom Node.js backend or AI-powered webhook? You can do all that too — on the same platform.

You can think of Zeabur as a modern hybrid of VPS + PaaS — made for people who want simplicity but don't want to give up flexibility.

Check out Zeabur’s template marketplace — you’ll find workflows like n8n or Dify, CMS tools like Ghost, and even databases like Supabase, ready to deploy.

🧪 New Mindset for Site Owners: Don’t Just Switch Hosts — Rethink Hosting

We totally get it — when your site goes down, you panic and rush to find the next best hosting provider. That’s natural.

But this could also be a chance to ask yourself:

What if this time, it’s not just about switching hosts — but switching how you host?

🔚 Final Thoughts: Hosting Freedom Means Having Options
