Delhi-Based Agency Gatilab Helps Businesses Cut WordPress Hosting Costs by Up to 80% Through Infrastructure Optimization

New Delhi, India - Gatilab, a WordPress-focused digital marketing agency based in Delhi NCR, is reporting that businesses switching from managed WordPress hosting to optimized VPS infrastructure are seeing hosting cost reductions of 60-80% while achieving faster page load times. The agency has completed these migrations for dozens of clients over the past year, including enterprise tech firms, SaaS companies, and content publishers.

The cost gap exists because managed WordPress hosts charge a premium for services that are now available through free or low-cost alternatives. Automatic backups, security monitoring, SSL certificates, and staging environments, features that once justified managed hosting fees of $30-100 per month per site, can now be replicated on a properly configured virtual private server costing as little as $5-10 per month.

Gatilab founder Gaurav Tiwari, who has 16+ years of experience in WordPress development and is a WordPress core contributor, says the performance difference is equally significant. In the agency's internal benchmarks, client sites migrated to optimized VPS setups averaged 0.7-0.9 second load times compared to 1.8-2.4 seconds on their previous managed hosting. The improvement comes from dedicated server resources, Redis object caching, optimized MariaDB configurations, and proper CDN integration.

"The managed WordPress hosting market solved a real problem ten years ago. Most people couldn't configure a server properly, and the tooling didn't exist to make it easy. That's changed. Control panels like CloudPanel handle the complexity, caching plugins have matured, and security tools are reliable enough for production use. What hasn't changed is the pricing. Businesses are still paying 2018 prices for problems that 2026 tools have already solved," said Tiwari.

The agency's migration process typically takes three to five days per site and includes server provisioning, DNS configuration, database optimization, caching setup, and post-migration performance testing. Gatilab handles the technical work while keeping clients informed at each stage, and provides 30 days of post-migration monitoring to catch issues early.

Gaurav Tiwari (https://gauravtiwari.org) is quick to note that self-managed hosting is not the right choice for every business. Organizations without any technical oversight, or those requiring enterprise-level SLAs and phone support, may still benefit from managed solutions. But for small and mid-sized businesses with basic technical competence or a developer on call, the savings are hard to ignore.

Gatilab (https://gatilab.com) was founded in 2014 in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, and now operates from Delhi NCR. The agency serves clients across India and internationally, with additional presence in Gorakhpur and Lucknow. Beyond hosting migration, Gatilab provides WordPress site speed optimization, custom plugin development, database performance tuning, security hardening, and full website redesigns. Tiwari also runs the educational platform gauravtiwari.org, where he has published over 1,750 articles and sends a weekly newsletter to 5,000+ subscribers.
