A while back I wrote about web hosting for WordPress sites. Since WordPress has continued to grow in popularity, web hosting companies have continued to promote their services as WordPress-friendly. These days, most established web hosts do an equally good job at hosting WordPress websites. Often, the only noticeable difference is the WP installation process.
However, there are some web hosts that I feel do deserve some special consideration when you’re looking for hosting for WordPress sites.
If you’ve read some of my other posts, you know that I consider InMotion to be the standard for excellent web hosting. As an InMotion Hosting customer for many years, I’ve had numerous WordPress sites hosted there very successfully. Along with their outstanding customer support, their business hosting plans provide benefits to WordPress sites such as high grade hardware and Max Speed Zones for faster performance, easy 1-click installation, better security with suPHP, and more.
For some time now, Dreamhost has prided itself in offering expert WordPress hosting. They support over 600,000 WordPress installations with full-time WordPress experts on staff. Dreamhost also features 1-click software installation.
Earlier this year, Dreamhost took their WP hosting a step further by offering their DreamPress service. For existing customers, DreamPress provides managed VPS hosting for WordPress. If you upgrade, you’ll get enhanced performance with high scalability. And, you’ll be able to use any theme or plugin you want—which may not be the case with other managed hosting services.
Many WordPress veterans and experts agree that WP Engine is the ultimate solution for hosting WP sites—though it does come with a higher price tag. WP Engine’s entire staff is comprised of WordPress experts. Their WP specific EverCache Technology loads pages in 150 milliseconds. And, WP Engine’s hosting includes a fully managed content delivery network.
