Needless to say, there are thousands of webhosting companies who promise to have unlimited resources, full time availability, knowledgeable customer support and more. But not all of them fully comply with what they promise. Only a handful of webhosting companies offer guaranteed webhosting service that includes top-rated customer support, unlimited bandwidth etc.
What is WordPress?
As you know, WordPress is the number one blogging tool out there, most of the business firms and common people prefer to use it. WordPress makes use of latest data banks to ensure its clients appropriate memory capacity and processing power for their blog. This free CMS (Content Management System) program allows you to publish, edit, update and maintain your blog in a very aesthetic way.
Nuts and bolts to choose a webhosting company
Cost: It is first and foremost factor that you should take into consideration while choosing a webhosting company; however, it should not be the only deciding factor. WordPress runs perfectly only when it gets rich hosting environment. Webhosting companies that charge only $1.99 per year will not provide you all the prerequisites that are needed to run WordPress smoothly. Therefore, do not buy from a host with the cheapest rates without comparing.
Area of Focus: Not all the webhosts are perfect for you. Some hosts have great shared plans, bandwidth etc. but may not be have solutions for growing enterprise like yours. On the other hand, some may have great business solutions along with shared plans but may not be suitable for small businesses. Therefore, take your time and find a host who is willing to put complete focus on your business.
Tech Limitations: Does your host have enough RAM, disk space or processing power to support your blog’s videos, images and other rich content? A cheap webhost may not have enough prerequisites. Good things do not come cheap. So, better buy hosting services from a well-known hosting company like DreamHost, Laughing Squid, etc.
Tech Support: What if your WordPress blog goes offline out of nowhere? You will have to contact your hosting company ASAP. But if your host is one of those who charge $1.99 per year, you’re in trouble. They do not provide 24/7 customer service, neither they provide online chat services. In worst case, they won’t even reply your email on time. But if you consider hiring a reputed hosting company, you are assured 24/7 customer service with online chat services. In this way, you can talk to a representative and sort out the problem in real-time.
Protection: Do you often receive anonymous emails or spam from your WordPress blog? It’s probably because your host does not provide you enough security. Remember it’s your host’s sole responsibility to provide you with necessary protection and privacy from internet/online threats. That’s why; trust only the best hosting services when it comes to privacy and protection.
