Wordpress blog hosting

WordPress is one of the best blogging tools on this planet. But before you choose a wordpress blog hosting, you need to be sure the hosting will suit your needs.

1. Define your needs first.

Are you building a personal or business website? 99% of personal blogs will run just fine with the cheapest wordpress blog hosting package. Business sites often need more expensive pacakages.

2. Do not judge a wordpress blog hosting based on space

Most blogs do not use even 100 megs of web space. What you need to know is if you can host multiple domains and databases. Maybe you will want to add a photo gallery or a forum. And each of these needs its own database. Make sure your host allows you more than one database.

3. WordPress Requirements

On our wordpress hosting page you will see two basic requirements : PHP 4.3 or greater and Mysql 4.1.2 or greater.

WordPress Hosts almost always use linux based servers. If your host is wanting you to choose Windows hosting for WordPress, run a mile!

4. WordPress Extras

One-click install is a common feature of better WordPress Blog Hosting and so are wordpress upgrades. If you see a Host that uses a three month old WordPress Install you should be careful with this host.

5. Good Support

This is so important that it should be number 1 actually. Good support means two things. Number one: to be able to fix your problem. And two: to fix it quickly. If your site is not online your visitors can`t buy from you, right?
