One of them might be able to solve your problem. * 2.) For your hosting needs, it seems VPS or dedicated servers are overkill if you don’t run apps other than WordPress or have high traffic. * There is a recommended hosting page here on WordPress.org . They have been vetted by the organization.

I tried shared hosting, but it needed extra x5-x6 ram. I will consider returning to Siteground. I will talk to them in the chat and ask for clarification. * [Steven Lin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevenlinx/) * (@stevenlinx) * [4 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-364/#post-15566531) * How are you doing with the 7 methods listed above?
