Need some advice on web development

Hi,

I want to know if there is a way to host and develop wordpress sites on Google Cloud for other businesses. What specs do I need and how much should it cost me approximately. I asked Google on their website but they never replied, I really would appreciate some advice on this.

Thanks!

Yes you can. In fact its the first thing they show here https://cloud.google.com/launcher/explore . I can't tell you specs as you have provided little information on the amount of traffic you get etc. The pricing fluctuates on multiple factors. You can see more here https://cloud.google.com/pricing/ . Setting up a wordpress environment on Google Cloud can be more complicated than using a normal host. You can try out their free trial. I suggest you stick to normal hosting if your confused or hire a professional to help you.

These websites are primarily for SME's so I don't think they will have a lot of traffic on the short term, however I want them to be scalable. I think Google recently created a fast and easy way to launch Wordpress on a server, but I haven't tried it yet so I don't know exactly how that works. Thanks for replying!
