I’m a professional software developer taking over a friends small-business WordPress site, and I was wondering if there were any substantial differences between the 1-Click install and setting up my own VPS and deploying LAMP/installing WordPress?
With the one-click install, obviously some decisions would be made (i.e versions of PHP/Apache etc), but can I still access server in the same way as my own VPS/is there limited functionality with using the 1-Click option? Essentially - what are the flexibility trade-offs by selecting the 1-click deployment?
Thanks in advance, Andrew
