How to Find the Best Web Host for WordPress

  • WordPress is a free and open source blogging application used by countless self hosted blogs. It also acts as a content management system for many non-blog sites. There are so many benefits to using WordPress that it deserves another write up. For this article, I am only focusing on which hosting services to choose if you are interested in creating a blog or regular site using WordPress. There are literally hundreds of web hosts out there, which makes the task of choosing the right one extremely difficult. Luckily most of the best hosts offer special services for use with WordPress. The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing any type of service is that WordPress needs to run on PHP 4.3 or higher and MySQL 4.0 or higher. If you are not familiar with these technical terms, don’t worry. Simply ask the hosting company you consider using and make sure to get all the details about how WordPress is installed, upgraded, etc.
  • Below is a list of six of the top hosting services around, which provide seamless integration with WordPress. Some come highly recommended by WordPress. The chosen hosting companies each have 1-click installation and easy upgrades for WordPress. Three of the providers run on cPanel, which is one of the most popular control panel interfaces. Either Fantastico Deluxe or Simple Scripts will be used to easily set up WordPress through those hosts. The other providers run on very different interfaces, but their control panels work just as well. Now that we know all these hosting companies work great with WordPress, there are a few other factors to consider when comparing them with each other. A breakdown of all these basic factors are listed for each host below.
  • All of these companies provide more or less the same things, but clicking on the links will bring you straight to their website for more in depth information. Price is not listed, because these companies will offer discounts from time to time. Figure out what you are looking for and get started on building your very own website with WordPress.
