@fisicx Thanks for your anwer I'm a bit confused now... https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/#managed-hosting-wordpress-com When you say it's that easy, are you maybe talking about wordpress.com?

Hi, I have a more general question and as I'm new to this forum (as well as - more or less - to webdesign) I was not sure where to put this question. I found webdesigners who build websites/homepages for companies or startups on their own (in contrast to working for a design agency, "only" making the design, and letting developers transfer it into code...). And I ask myself, how these designers work. Often, I read, that they are specialized in wordpress. To see, how this works I bought a webhosting package (I already had a domain) and chose the option to install wordpress. But after choosing wordpress there is the next question: "Managed WordPress" or "Wordpress". "Managed" means: You don't have to care about updates, security or optimization of technology. What would most webdesigners choose here? Best wishes, Chris
