What makes a great WordPress host

We’ve discussed how to choose the best WordPress host in the past, so I won’t go into the finer details. However, let’s mention a few important considerations to keep in mind when selecting the perfect web host.

Price vs. Value
First of all, you shouldn’t look into “pinching pennies” with your hosting solution. Low cost of hosting is primarily why I chose and stuck with Bluehost. I had no idea this would turn around and bite me in the a**.

I have a simple question for you, mi amigo. Would you Country Email List rather pay $4 per month and risk getting hacked (+ poor service) , or $29 a month and get stellar and personalized service that’s tailored for your business? How much is your peace of mind worth?

In the recent past, I was so sure I was saving money by paying $4 per month for hosting. Now I know better, and I am contemplating moving to managed WordPress hosting. Unless of course Bluehost is willing to massage my ego with a huge birthday cake, or something. I’m kidding of course, but they should look into their customer care. You should consider managed WordPress hosting as well, if you don’t want to lose your business later on.





The problem with the $4 a month shared hosting plans is your site lives with a million other sites on the same server, which means if one of the other sites is compromised, you’d be lucky to escape the onslaught. If you collect/store customer data on your site, you don’t want this kind of info falling into the wrong hands. If you’ve invested time and money in creating great content, you don’t need some hacker to reduce it all to a Viagra-peddling homepage, or worse, nothingness.
