I’m not just talking about stack script for setting up LEMP. I mean what do you think for the entire technology stack is best for WordPress speed, security, and everything.

What if the price was no problem? And, what if cheapest price?

IMO

– NameSilo or Cloudflare for registrar
– Cloudflare (Anycast DNS)
– KVM cloud server with NVMe SSD drive
– free OpenSSL so no worries about renewing Let’s Encrypt
– LEMP stack (Ubuntu LTS, Nginx, MySQL, PHP-FPM)
– Redis or Memcached for object cache
– FastCGI Cache for page cache
– lightweight WP theme and no page builder plugins

And a managed remote database server from DigitalOcean or other good provider if you have any concern about using a local database.

This is the best tech for an amazing price like $5-8/month for the server and ~$15/month extra maybe if you are going to need a managed database server too.

KVM cloud server with NVMe SSD drive

KVM servers are great but the provider still matters a lot, if they are a good quality datacenter with proper management and hardware.

SSD drives are amazing but they also need to be swapped out for new ones regularly.

SSD drives are amazing but they also need to be swapped out for new ones regularly.

Yes and no… not so much an urgent concern these days, as long as the datacenter keeps track of hardware usage and lifetimes. But SSD problems are harder to predict without careful software monitoring, so they can crash without warning.

But yah, having a responsible cloud provider is important.

“best” WP stack is pretty relative to your situation, isn’t it?

[Richard]

Fastest WordPress stack vs. fastest WordPress hosting?

[Terry]

The best stack is the stack you have the most experience with and can manage and customize to achieve whatever you are trying to do.

But if we are talking “fastest” stack so maybe different.
