WordPress is the most popular platform for building websites. It is estimated that 25% of all websites<\/a> on the Internet are built using the WordPress content management system (CMS).<\/p>\n

A CMS is an online system for creating pages for your website and WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world \u2013 over 74 million websites across the planet are powered with WordPress.<\/p>\n

WordPress became popular in part because it was free to download and install on your own server or hosting account. WordPress also has a strong user community to help improve the software on a regular basis. However, perhaps the most important aspect of WordPress is that it is easy to use and helps you create great looking websites.<\/p>\n

Choosing a WordPress Hosting Company<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking to build a website, WordPress is an excellent choice.<\/p>\n

You now need to choose a company to \u2018host\u2019 the website for you. A WordPress hosting company will provide you with a server on which you can install WordPress and also provide you with the necessary disk storage and fast connection to the Internet.<\/p>\n

However, not all web hosting companies are the same and you will need to check the following:<\/p>\n

Fast, Reliable Service<\/strong> \u2013 you need to know your WordPress website will be available to visitors all the time. After all, it\u2019s your reputation on the line. Ask your WordPress hosting company about the speed and reliability of their service.<\/p>\n

Optimized for WordPress <\/strong>\u2013 your hosting provider must have their servers<\/a> optimized for WordPress. The minimum requirements are PHP 5.6 or greater, MySQL 5.6 or greater and the mod_rewrite module in Apache.<\/p>\n

Easy to install WordPress<\/strong> \u2013 make sure the installation of WordPress is automated and simple to complete in a matter of minutes. You don\u2019t want to waste time trying to understand how to copy files to the server.<\/p>\n

How many SQL databases are you allowed?<\/strong> \u2013 WordPress uses a MySQL database to store your information. You use one MySQL database per WordPress website. If you need to build more than one WordPress website (many companies build a test site), then you will need more than one MySQL database.<\/p>\n

Excellent Customer Support \u2013<\/strong> while there is a great wealth of online knowledge to support WordPress users, your hosting company must also be WordPress experts. If you have any issues with your WordPress installation, they must be able to diagnose and fix any problems.<\/p>\n

Make Your WordPress Hosting Decision<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

When choosing a WordPress hosting service make sure you call the company to discuss their service before you buy. How they respond to you on the phone will give you an indication of the future service you can expect from them.<\/p>\n

Be confident they are experts in WordPress and experts in web hosting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
