Seamlessly Host, Manage & Grow Your WordPress Site

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is WordPress hosting?

  WordPress hosting is a type of web hosting service that is optimized for WordPress websites. It is powered by features that simplify working with the CMS, such as a one-click installation, automatic core/plugin updates, and more. WordPress is the most popular platform for website creation nowadays, and it is supported by almost all web hosting providers. The most important questions you need to ask yourself are "What kind of website are you going to build and grow with WordPress?" and "What is the right hosting solution for WordPress?"

• How can I learn more about WordPress?

  WordPress is by far the most popular content management system, which means you can find plenty of extra help and resources online. Apart from your hosting provider, you can gain more knowledge about this website builder via various tutorials, articles, video guides, and online courses.

  In addition, the evergrowing WordPress community is full of friendly and helpful users who are always ready to lend a helping hand.

• Should I choose Shared WordPress hosting or WordPress Cloud?

  Are you interested in allowing your website to grow to its fullest potential? Are you worried about website speed, SEO, and user experience? In this case, the WordPress Cloud is the right hosting solution for your website. This is the only type of web hosting service that can deliver guaranteed & consistent performance, high security, and uptime. On a shared server, your website will reside with hundreds of other projects, which brings tons of disadvantages and growth barriers in the long run. Learn more in the video below.

• Which is the best WordPress hosting plan for me?

  Choosing the right WordPress solution often directly relates to the number of visitors you get per month. If you have less than 400 000 visits - the WordPress Cloud VPS with 2 CPU cores and 4GB RAM would be sufficient enough. If you are getting more than that, you typically need to add an additional CPU core for every 200 000. The process of finding a suitable shared WordPress plan is similar - just check your website(s) and figure out their average visits per month.

• Do you offer Managed WordPress Hosting on Amazon AWS?

You can add more CPU cores, RAM, and disk space with a single click, and the server resources are automatically upgraded within a minute. With traditional hosting, you have three fixed plans to choose from and can upgrade to the WordPress Advanced plan if you find them insufficient.

  The VPS hosting plans allow you to host multiple WordPress sites on a single server and switch between them with ease.

• What is the best WordPress Hosting for an online store?

  WordPress sites can typically utilize any type of web hosting service as WP itself is not very resource-demanding. But when it comes to ecommerce stores, you need more than the average performance and security.
