WordPress hosting provides the space and resources for your website to exist online, while living on a server. Just like you need a physical store to showcase your products, you need hosting to publish your website on the internet.

Since the location of your website’s server will affect its speed, WordPress hosting with a hosting provider provisions a server with all the storage and resources needed to run your website in the country of your choice. This includes the RAM, file system, firewalls, and any other necessary tools and applications.

When a user enters your website’s address into a browser, a request is sent to the server hosting your website. The server processes the request, and sends the response, which displays the website on the user’s browser.

Hosting also secures your website, by preventing unauthorised access to it. It gives you a way to manage and configure your website, as per your needs. If at any time, you need to add more resources to scale and grow, the hosting provider enables you to do it.

If you are planning on publishing a WordPress website, then you should invest in WordPress hosting. Here’s why:

Technical support whenever you need: Free services normally come with poor support if any at all. Buying WordPress hosting with a hosting provider means you can get in touch with the support team and have them resolve your issue or simply give advice.

Better performance: The best WordPress hosts provision servers specially optimised for WordPress with features such as LiteSpeed caching and vulnerability patching. This is vital for website speed and performance.

Features: Buying WordPress hosting from us means you get cPanel, the world-leading control panel, to easily manage your hosting through a convenient web interface.

Test in staging: Test after you make changes, in a “staging” environment, before going live.

Backups: The top hosting providers include automated backups in their hosting plans. This ensures that in the event of a compromise or malfunction, you can easily revert to a previous stable version.

High levels of security: From SSL certificates to vulnerability patching and malware scanning, top WordPress hosts take security seriously.
