Wordpress hosting?

Instead of WordPress hosting, I recommend you the Shared Hosting option.

Managed WordPress hosting has some disadvantages over Shared Hosting.

1) You can't create email accounts with WordPress hosting.
2) There will not be a control panel like cPanel to manage your website.
3) To upload/download files/folders, you will need to use SFTP.
4) You can't host any other application like Joomla, Magento etc on WordPress hosting.

However, as compared with the performance, Managed WordPress is far better than Shared Linux hosting, these servers are specially designed to host only WordPress websites.

I hope it helps. :)
 
There is no general best provider since everyone has different needs. The best provider is the one that works for you and meets your requirements.
 
You should be able to find a shared hosting provider that is already optimized for content management systems such as WordPress. When choosing you should inquire to their sales department and ask for a free trial to see if it meets your needs. They should happily oblige your request.
 
Hello

As suggested by 24x7, you must go with Shared hosting, facility and service which you can get in shared hosting cant be given in wordpress hosting.

Thanks !!
 
Any hosting provider that you choose should be able to handle any requests for wordpress but if that is something that you specifically need I suggest contacting them first and ask them what they do with sites that run wordpress on their servers.
 
Hosting WrodPress is not a rocket science. There is one important thing part of the stability of the web host's infrastructure. It is the Support's ability to troubleshoot and manage WordPress installations, plugins and to do some simple coding.

Correct a GOOD Wordpress host will behave more like a SaaS rather than a shared hosting account. Given obviously the installation will be manned by the company rather than the client him/her self.

However if that all you need/wants then you can opt for that for convenience and ease of operation.

But as others mentioned a shared account that is quality (typically $5+/month) could possibly do the "heavy lifting" for you as long as your not expecting the provider to maintain extensive amount of plugins and/or etc.

A simple solution for any shared hosting provider is charge a client if they want you to install/maintain plugins etc.

It all boils down on how much support they are willing to include. A bargain provider? You can't expect much if any extra support included. As they will often charge even for basic tasks.

But if your at a more "fancy" provider they will at least include installations on the house as long as it not a "everyday affair".

Yes basic script installation which i used to offer, but if they then want you to install plugins etc. then these become chargeable as a configuration addon

I see what your saying but after considering...

Having to explain what's charge able and what's not

Having to explain "we take no liabilities blah blah blah"

Having to collect said payments

Having to BE there to do the actions

I would just find for myself it would be easier to just up mark the account pricing. Then re scale as needed (for example if they are demanding more support then they shouldn't mind a higher per month price to make up for that).

I find that not much different than steady increasing gaming membership pricing. As more features are added to a game the more they charge their newer subscriptions for.

there is nothing like wordpress hosting, if you need managed then check out liquidweb or else you can simply opt for a reliable server from linod

While a number of them are nothing more than "sugar coated" standard hosting plans. There are companies that specialize in this application, provides a platform designed for this application, and/or hardware level tuning done for this application. To name a few things.
 
I try to be an unbiased as possible, but for all hosts Wordpress makes up about 90% of their business on shared hosting, but look for hosts with the following.

1. LiteSpeed Webserver (They have a native Wordpress cache, which beats anything else), they also have bruteforce protection built into the webserver.
2. A good backup service. No matter what security your host adds, old code will eventually get compromised, so that single plugin that never got updated will be your downfall.
Nothing lets me sleep at night more than knowing that I can restore my site back to before the hack and then fix.
3. Some security. We prefer Imunify360 or BitNinja with Comodo WAF, but mod_sec with Comodo, OWASP or Atomic rulesets at a minimum.
4. A service where the host hasn't switched off the CP backup options, so you can always take your business elsewhere if you have issues.

5. THE MOST IMPORTANT, WHICH PEOPLE SEEM TO IGNORE: Always keep your WP and plugins upto date. If WP release an update then install the update and dont think, well my site is working so dont need to update it.
 
When you say wordpress hosting, are you looking for an account with wordpress already setup and managed? I feel like this is a more targeted market. If you aren't looking for it to be managed, as long as you are using a shared account on a server that is optimized for wordpress, you will be fine. Look out for litespeed+litespeed cache.
