Best WordPress hosting companies for 2012 are listed here. The three front-running web hosts are all quality, but we find that Hostgator deserved to drop one spot to #3, and a newcomer has taken over the #2 spot!
When I say newcomer, I am saying that they’re newly tested for me – they’ve been in the business for a while. Bluehost web hosting, the #1 WordPress web host for 2011, retains the top overall spot.
Find out who is the best of the best, AND who is the wost of the worst!
In this article, I will provide a detailed Hostgator web hosting review based on my own experiences. I’ve had the opportunity to develop upwards of 500 websites of all shapes and sizes, and have used many hosting companies in the process. Hostgator is one of the more popular shared web hosts out there. But are they the best? Hint: No. But they’re good. Read the rest of this entry
I’m writing this Bluehost web hosting review in hope that it can help folks avoid some of the many hosting mistakes I have made over the years. I’ve been developing websites of all types for over ten years. In that time, I’ve used my fair share of different web hosts.
Bluehost web hosting is one of my favorite web hosts. When is comes to shared hosting services costing less than $9 per month, they ARE my favorite. Great uptime and awesome service. For WordPress sites, and for customers who are not running enterprise-level web applications, you cannot go wrong with Bluehost. I recently had some bad experiences with IX Web Hosting, Fat Cow, and WebHostingPad. These bad experiences were simply due to poor site performance. With that, I was reminded just how good Bluehost really is. Read the rest of this entry

If you’re looking for the best WordPress hosting available, you will want to read this. As a web developer and website designer, I have worked with a lot of WordPress hosting companies. I’ve put together a list of the best WordPress hosting companies, the “middle of the road” hosts, and have included some web hosts that you probably want to avoid.
IX Web Hosting is terrible. For a while, these guys were a near favorite. But then suddenly their service took a nose dive. I had handfuls of websites (like 12) go down without notice and it took me almost a week to get them to be brought back up.
Site speed got so slow I almost lost a very good client (I moved them to Bluehost and problem solved). Tech support is somewhere in Eastern Europe, and while the response is quick, the answers are many times irrelevant or off the mark. When my sites went down, these guys could not/would not tell my why. Read the rest of this entry

When people think of WordPress, they often immediately think about blogs, but this content management software is about much more than just blogs. Many business owners have found a lot of success using WordPress. It is an easy-to-learn Content Management System (CMS) for websites.
WordPress began as a blogging software. This was one of the first softwares that empowered the non-techie to be able to have the ability to share information on the web. Recently, WordPress has surpassed being simply a “blog” tool. Now, many small and large businesses are using WordPress to build their primary websites. In fact, you might say that WordPress can put the small ma & pa business on the same footing as a national company when it comes to web presence. Read the rest of this entry
Should I go with a free WordPress theme, or invest in a premium WordPress theme? This is a question that I am often asked. When I build a WordPress site for a client, or build one for my personal portfolio, I will ALWAYS go with a premium WordPress theme.
When I first began to build WordPress sites back in 2009, I had no problem using a free WordPress theme. The internet is loaded with them. Some actually look very nice. So there I was, building WordPress sites one after the other using these free themes. But a year later, I was reintroduced to the adage “you get what you pay for.” I have had to rebuild WordPress sites after they crashed as a result of a bad free WordPress theme.
