A: While we appreciate what ServerAvatar has done with their platform, the mission and vision of FlyWP is rather different than what they have. There are many managed hosting solutions for WordPress, but very few like FlyWP. There are also many solutions like FlyWP that let you connect to your own cloud provider and manage applications, but they are very generic and cater to all types of applications. For us, we want to focus on WordPress only. We aim to help this audience launch fast and secure WordPress servers and sites.

We also took a different approach by going the container route, as we think it's the future. This provides a safe and secure environment for WordPress, as sites get hacked due to various plugin and theme vulnerabilities. Containerization makes each site sandboxed in an isolated environment. We can also launch a Kubernetes-based solution that scales with traffic and opens a new horizon.

Great answer. Could you detail a little more on Kubernetes? That would mean that I could take advantage of auto-scaling up and down, and maybe start each WP instance at minimum RAM for maximum server utilization?
