Choosing a WordPress host is a decisive factor in launching your own website. A quality hosting is a key for success. Mike Newman, a successful businessman and the owner of more than 20 websites, confirms the substantial role of the hosting. I used to apply for multiple hosting companies, which attracted clients with hopeful but empty promises. In the result, they put my business in jeopardy and I gave up on the idea of using a help of the suspicious experts. Nowadays, Mike runs his own hosting company and apprised us with useful information. Hereinafter, you have an opportunity to consider 4 types of WordPress hosting and choose the most appropriate one.
Shared Hosting
Shared hosting is considered to be good for the novices, who had never launched their own website. The main peculiarity of the shared hosting lies in placing plenty of websites on the one server. This option outlines a set of its advantages and drawbacks.
Advantages:
- The price policy of the shared hosting companies is usually reasonable. Most of them provide packages starting from $1.99
- Shared hosting companies charge very low fees
- Along with WordPress, clients may choose any script they only want
Disadvantages:
The main disadvantage is caused by a great number of websites on the same server. It leads to slow response times, bandwidth limiting, and overcrowding. Still, the goal of every shared hosting company lies in receiving a maximum profit out of every server. Therefore, overcrowding is a typical thing for a shared host. Furthermore, you may forget about the support option and start solving your problems independently as:
- Support teams receive hundreds of requests daily
- Support teams don’t consist of highly qualified WordPress experts
Nevertheless, such an affordable price meets the quality of the hosting if your website doesn’t influence your sales or revenue or you don’t need a website for the business.
Managed Hosting
Managed hosting is a new era of the shared hosts with a set of improvements. Managed hosting companies usually are bounded to the one script but a substantial advantage lies in adjusting their operating system and equipment to the particular server. It’s a fundamental base for the benefits you will get out of it. Managed hosts are good for everyone, who connects their business with WordPress.
Advantages:
- A powerful support team, which focuses on a specific limited set of abilities but polishes professionally skills up to perfection
- Managed hosts accomplish all WordPress issues, so you don’t need to fix them independently. That allows you to pay attention to your business
- Speed and Security
Disadvantages:
- You will be completely satisfied with the quality but the price can unsettle you. You may find domains that cost $3,000 per one. That’s quite costly
Virtual Private Servers
VPS are really flexible. They allow users to change almost everything starting from different files and ending with operating system kernel and device drivers.
Advantages:
- Low price – some servers will cost you only $5 per month. Comparing with $3,000 it’s a super affordable price
- Flexibility
Nevertheless, the users of VPS don’t, actually, receive a proper support and have to cope with some issues (such as installing web and database server software or updating) independently. It’s a perfect fit for everybody, who is looking forward cheap and flexible hosting.
Dedicated Bare Metal Servers
Dedicated bare metal servers are some kind of VP servers but along with a wide range of hardware resources, it dedicates the work of the computer to your website. The prices differ but it always possible to find a suitable offer. Despite naturally occurring hardware failures, it’s really good for everyday website owners.
