So how do you go about choosing the best Wordpress hosting service? Webhosting though oftentimes overlooked is a key feature of running a website. There are tons of hosting options out there available to you. Shared, Free, Dedicated Servers, VPS, and managed Wordpress hosting are some of the options available to you.
As a beginner this can be overwhelming, especially if you are comming from Blogger where you didn't even have to worry about buying your own domain or providing your own hosting, Google did it all for you.
As a beginner sometimes the wrong decision can come back to haunt you later on down the road. In this post we will cover some things that Wordpress requires, things you should think about when choosing a web hosting service. We'll also share a few recommended hosting companies for your Wordpress blog, these are especially good for a beginner as they either have great customer support or one click Wordpress setup on the host.
Bluehost is one of the oldest webhosting options around, they were started way back in 1996. Bluehost is one of the most recognized brand names when it comes to webhosting, especially so for Wordpress webhosting. They are an "Official" wordpress recommended hosting provider. Your website will always run fast with Bluehost, no lagging whatsoever, even when your experiencing a lot of traffic. Bluehost also offers a free domain and a free website builder with some pretty good quality templates. Bluehost also is always running specials for new users and Wordpress users.
InMotion hosting is well known in the industry. They are reliable and offer great performance for the business person needing to host a site. They have FANTASTIC technical support and great uptime at a 99.9% rating for uptime. They are a favorite among Wordpress users. Their tech support is unmatched and even better it's US based so no trying to understand an Indian guy with a strong accent. InMotions Wordpress hosting is also great in that it is optimized for bloggers. InMotionHosting offers great scalability as your blog continues to grow.
Web Hosting Hub is one of the easiest ways out there to get an online presence for your business or just your personal thoughts via a blog. It's also great for small businesses. They have a super easy to use control panel and a Website Builder which I prefer over GoDaddy's website tonight. They also have amazin support, especially when it comes to Wordpress issues. Their price is also hard to beat, one of the more competitively priced hosts out there. They have earned a number of award and like many other hosts they also offer discounts for new users and Wordpress users.
I have to admit I'm a bit biased, HostGator is probably my favorite host, especially when it comes to hosting Wordpress Blogs. I love their one click setup, couldn't be easier. HostGator hosts well over 8 million domains and has a fantastic reputation. On many forums like Warrior Forum and other ou webmaster, affiliate and internet marketing forums HostGator is a consistant favorite. As I mentioned they have a fantastic 1 click Wordpress installation and an uptime of 99.9% as well as great 24/7 support. You really can't go wrong hosting your Wordpress Blog or anything for that matter on HostGator.
Site5 is a hugely popular web host as well. They have special plans just for the Wordpress community so you can get a hosting plan suited for Wordpress blogs or sites. They like others also offer special rates for Wordpress users.
