There’S a dirty little secret about all these wordpress hosting companies. Out of all the wordpress hosting companies out, there, only three are recommended by wordpress themselves and we’re gon na look at the top 10 hosting companies and go over the pros and cons of every single hosting company one by one and by the end of this video You’Ll know exactly which hosting company is right for you. As a bonus, i have the hookup. I have special discounted pricing for all these hosting companies that you can only get right here and i’m going to be sharing that with you at the end of this video. As well, but let’s get started first with siteground and one of the big pros about siteground is it’s extremely easy to set up?
I even did a video talking about how you can set up a wordpress website using siteground in just four minutes. There are also one of the three different hosting companies that are actually recommended by wordpress and they also have very affordable pricing, but they are not the cheapest hosting company out there host singer, which i’ll be talking about later in this video is actually the the cheapest Hosting company out there and actually pretty decent so make sure you stay tuned for hossinger, but going back to siteground siteground is extremely reliable. They have over 99.99 uptime and they have extremely fast servers and you get a free, ssl certificate which basically allows your site to be more secure, but there are some cons for siteground. One of the first cons is even though it’s pretty affordable priced.
It’S still. Mid-Tier pricing, as i mentioned, there are some hosting companies that are cheaper. Another con with siteground is. There are plan limits if you’re planning to host a ton of videos on your website or really large images, and a lot of images of that siteground might not be the best option for you, though they do have gigabytes and gigabytes of storage. For 99 of the people out there, it should be plenty of storage, but this is something you should keep in mind.
Next up is bluehost and bluehost is one of the most popular wordpress hosting sites out there. It’S also the second of the three different hosting companies that are recommended by wordpress they’re, also one of the most trusted companies out there, which brings us to our first con with them. And this is true about all different hosting platforms, but the way that they became so popular and so trusted is they were one of the first ones to have an affiliate program. An affiliate program is basically where people talk about hosting companies in exchange for getting a kickback when people sign up for that hosting company, and this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But as someone that’s been using bluehost for a number of years now, their service has gotten a lot slower and honestly, i think, for what you get right.
Now it’s overpriced, and now before we move on to the next platform godaddy, i want to tell you a little secret, because all these hosting companies offer affiliate programs and part of the reason i’m able to give you the hookup and give you such a good discount Is i signed up as an affiliate for all these different programs so that i can make this article and make it as unbiased as possible? But let’s talk about godaddy and my recommendation is: do not use godaddy, no matter what they’re, okay for buying a domain name but they’re, not even the cheapest one for buying a domain name, and they spend a ton of money on advertising and the way that they’re Able to make that money back and all the money they spend on advertising is by having higher prices in tricking people into buying a domain name and then adding on hosting and adding on other features that you just don’t need do not go with godaddy. They are overpriced and they just do not offer a high quality service when it comes to hosting your website. A2 hosting is one of the fastest hosting providers out there, basically meaning when people go to your website, it’s going to load up extremely fast, but on the downside they have really poor. Uptime and uptime basically means how often people can actually visit your site now.
Keep in mind, no hosting company has a 100 uptime, but most of them have 99.99 uptime, meaning just about any time. Someone tries to go to your website they’re, going to be able to go there but a2 hosting has one of the lowest uptime percentages out there, and they actually got hacked a few years ago and from what i’ve heard it seems like they still haven’t fully recovered From some of that hack so be careful with a2 hosting, but it still has like 99.96 uptime and it’s an extremely fast hosting provider. Hostgator is another extremely popular hosting platform out there now hostgator is actually owned by the same company as bluehost, but bluehost is actually recommended by wordpress themselves.
So, in my opinion, there’s really not that big of a difference between these two sometimes hostgator’s a little bit cheaper and sometimes bluehost – is a little bit cheaper. You can check the prices in the description down below, but out of these two i would probably go with bluehost over hostgator. Now, there’s still one company, that’s recommended by wordpress. We haven’t talked about, and i still need to talk about the cheapest hosting company out there. But first let’s talk about wp engine and wp engine is fast: it’s reliable, it’s probably the best hosting company out there, but as a con, it’s 10 times the price of every other hosting company out there.
So i would not personally recommend this hosting company for most people, but if you have a website that needs really high up time, that needs to be the fastest possible. This could be a good option, but most other hosting companies have higher in plans that are just as good as wp engine for a fraction of the price. Now, before we get to hostinger, inmotion is another popular hosting company, but i don’t really see any big pros with them. They do have good speed, good uptime, they’re, pretty reliable, but they’re still more expensive than a lot of the other hosting platforms out there. Finally, let’s talk about host stinger and the big pro with them is: they are cheap.
They are really really cheap. They have plans that start at 99 cents a month which is the cheapest out there. Now a con with them is, if you want that, really cheap plan. You got to sign up for four years, so it’s going to cost you about 48, but even still that’s really inexpensive. Another pro is it’s actually fast.
You would think for that low of a price that you would get junk service, but it’s actually really fast, but as a con, if you start getting a lot of traffic to your website, it does slow down very quickly. They do have higher tier plans that you can always upgrade to, but keep in mind if you’re paying 99 cents a month, you’re not going to have a website that gets a lot of traffic they’re going to throttle your bandwidth, meaning they’re not going to let people Come in look at your website and and give you a fast connection, they also don’t have phone support. So if your website is something very important to you and you want to be able to call someone and get on the phone, if you have an issue host singer might not be the best option. They do have some chat support, so that is always an option. If you run into issues with your website but again for me personally, i would not host my website with hosinger doesn’t mean it’s a bad option, i’m just at the point now where i want to pay a little bit more to make sure that my website is Actually up and running correctly, if you’re really tight on cash, this is a great option and finally, we have dreamhost and dreamhost is the last of the three different hosting platforms that are recommended by wordpress.
But honestly, i don’t see any advantage with dreamhost they’re more expensive than a lot of the other platforms, they’re also slower and less reliable. And finally, let’s talk about the winner. What is the best wordpress hosting website out there? Well, the answer is, it depends on what you’re looking for, if you’re looking for the fastest hosts out there, then a2 hosting might be a good option if you’re looking for the most reliable hosting company and you’re willing to pay for it, wp engine might be a Good option, if you’re on a budget – and you want the cheapest hosting then host singer – is a really good option but in my opinion, the best hosting company out there and where you should host your wordpress website is siteground. Siteground is a good price.
It’S reliable! They got phone support and it’s personally what i use and recommend – and i have the hook up with siteground -You can click on the links down below to see the cheapest prices you can find around.
