How to Maximize Your WordPress Hosting and Blogging Success

WordPress is becoming more popular than ever before. This is a great blogging platform that has assisted many bloggers to achieve their dreams. If you are looking for a dream WordPress hosting I would urge you to go for self hosted WordPress solution. For most bloggers, sticking with a sub-domain from WordPress.com seems a good choice because it is free. However, they are missing high traffic because such domains rank low in search engines. But also, when it comes to choosing the right paid blog host, there are certain things to keep in mind.

Cost and budget

As a blogger, aim at keeping your website operating costs low if you want to win. A good WordPress blog host should be below $5 per month. This translates to $60 per year. A domain name cost somewhere between $12/yr but GoDaddy has better deals. However, to get the best deals for your WordPress host, it is advisable to use coupon codes when ordering your hosting package and domain. For instance, Hawk Host, one of the most reputable hosting providers offers a discount code (“WpHosting50“) that allows blogger to buy a basic plan that can run WordPress for $19.74/yr.

Features

In most cases, it is always advisable to concentrate of the features you want as opposed to price. The best WordPress hosting must allow you enough disk space and allocate a higher monthly bandwidth. In addition to this, a personalized email account should be availed to you in case you want to communicate with your readers professionally. PHP and MySQL support are a must for WordPress Installation. If a blog host has this features, it is a good bet for you.

Customer support

Bloggers need round the clock customer support because most of them are novice users who lack even the basic web development skills. A good WordPress host must be available 24/7 to answer queries relating to your blogging package. In case something went amiss with the installation, the technical team should be in a position to restore it within a reasonable time. In addition, the best blog hosts like Hawk Host have different online tutorials and get started guide that can help you learn the A-Z of WordPress blog hosting.

Security

Finally, your dream WordPress hosting provider must offer adequate security to keep your site away from hackers, malware attacks and unwanted emails. In addition, your host should download and give you an option to upgrade your WordPress version to the latest release. This way, your website will be in a better position to avoid different shortcomings that are associated with online insecurity. If your host can offer all these features discussed, just break away, order your package, install WordPress and continue blogging – of course, to make money.
