WordPress Hosting
Your WordPress site needs a place to live on the internet. You could set up a free wordpress blog with a free WordPress.com account and domain. That may be good enough for you.
However if you want to have your own domain name with your own presence on the web, you’ll need to get some hosting for your WordPress site.
The best hosts are the ones with the biggest name. As far as hosting goes, they mostly all have the same basic features and it’s the add-ons and branding that separate them.
There are a couple hosting companies I’ve come to know and trust.
Host Your WordPress Site On Hostinger
Hostinger is a value hosting that packs some serious power. I’ve switched over to Hostinger and I am loving it. Not only does it have every tool that I need (and then some) but it’s cheaper than a lot of the other options. Hostinger offers the best value for WordPress hosting.
Their homepage always has great deals if you buy a longer term package (but it’s still cheap if you don’t).
I host this site on Hostinger and you’ll also notice it’s blazingly fast!
Host Your WordPress Site On WPEngine
WPEngine is well known within the WordPress community because it caters specifically to WordPress websites. They have a lot of tools and are optimized to specifically serve your WordPress website.
They are a bit pricier than other options but their support is top notch! You can talk to a support person at any time for any reason.
