Best WordPress hosting

14 replies
Hey guys --

Who do you use as hosting for WordPress? I know that I want managed WordPress hosting (definitely not looking to mess with security plugins or caching) and I'm not interested in a shared hosting environment.

Everything I've read thus far seems to say that Flywheel is the best (getflywheel.com) managed WordPress host (tons of awards and people rave about them on Twitter all the time); I like their style and their features for developers are awesome, like billing transfer. Just wondered if that was everyone else's experience as well or if you can share your suggestions!

Thanks

    For managed WordPress, probably Flywheel & WPEngine but I'm not certain of their scope of what they cover/don't cover.

    In terms of the plugins, what specifically don't you want to manage? As long as you're not installing a bunch of junk and keep them updated, you should not have any problems with regular web hosting. Most problems stem from poorly coded & exploited themes/plugins.

      Try siteground or dreamhost. You can also check bluehost but I am not impressed so far (load time is horrible even w. VPS!) and looking for another WP hosting

        I usually suggest these 2 hosting companies, since I've used them myself and never encountered any problems. However, it seems bluehost managed to receive some negative reviews recently, despite the fact I still believe they offer a good service. What you need to do, IMO, is just test them out and see what you think,

    All of my websites, PHP sites and Wordpress sites, are all hosted on Namecheap.
    All of my sites used to be with Hostgator but after they we're purchased by EIG, quality of support degraded and so I transferred all my sites to Namecheap.

      These are at completely opposite ends of the spectrum. The first ones are managed WordPress services and the others are bare, non-managed servers...

    I have several WP sites hosted on Knownhost. They offer a wide variety of plans to fit your budget. They have 3 different control panels, cPanel/WHM, Plesk or DirectAdmin to choose from, with great 24/7 support. I've been using them for about 7 years.

    I wouldn't recommend WPEngine for many reasons:
    - really expensive (not recommended for high traffic websites unless you make a lot of money)
    - they don't allow anything beyond a basic vanilla install. many plugins conflict and/or not allowed
    - not that great of a service...so many strong competitors out there
