Good Host for WordPress Website

11 years ago

You probably have a bloated site. WP is bloated, fat, slow, and
full of junk.

No web host in 2013 should be telling you such nonsense.

Find a local host that you can talk to in person. Best advice
anyone can get if they really want good hosting. Local,
independent hosts give the best service.

Either that or code by hand, use a real CMS, etc.

Based on personal experience, I can recommend both Hosting Source and Blue Host for WordPress.

Same here, or CROC host, which is a canadian web host.

Not had one single problem with either web host.

Mind posting a link to your site or possibly PM'ing a link to me? I'd love to take a look and make any recommendations.

Thanks

Take any lowest plan over any hosting provider. I think that would be enough for WP as they dont make much queries with DB etc to make hosting load a lot...

Go for Digitalocean cloud hosting. They offer very cheap linux servers. I normally host my all wordpress websites here with having my website loading within 1-2 seconds. ( with the help of varnish and caching )

Synthesis Web Hosting.

It's hosting built specifically to accommodate Wordpress. I switched to them about 6 months ago and my load time went from something like 8 seconds to almost instant.

I'm on the Advanced plan which is $147 but comfortably deals with my traffic of 150,000 page views per day. And in the 6 months I've been with them I think my website has been down once - for about 3 minutes.

Try speedhost.in, I have a couple of sites hosted with them and they offer good packages for linux or windows with unlimited space and bandwidth. I never faced any issues with speed or watsoever and all my sites are running on WP platform.

Can anybody suggest a good host for a WordPress website?

The website currently takes 6 seconds to load on 123 Reg.

I always doubt to take the web hosting with the domain registrars. There are complaining about hosting with the companies who specialize in Domain Registration.

VPN is not for speeding up your site. It's for surfing the net by using other location virtually etc.
It should CDN - Content Delivery Network.

You should be fine with shared hostings such Hostgator, BlueHost, etc... if your site doesn't have large amount of traffic.

To improve, you could reduce CPU/Memory consumption by using Cache plugins such W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache, Optimize your images , ... etc

Check out sites like GTmetix or Pingdom Tool to see the site performance and recommendation to optimize your site speed.

If you really want the hosting dedicated to Wordpress, These 2 hosts, WPEngine & Synthesis, will be your best bet as well MediaTemple. But, I doubt about their hight price.

You should not host your site with the Companies who specialize in Domain Registrar.

Thank you for the suggestions guys, I think i'll try host gator again.

I spoke to 123 reg support and apparently Super Cache actually worsens the speed due to it being shared, I did test this and it's true. It took 9 seconds with Super Cache.

My website is a simple text page with a revolution slider on the top.

Thanks

That's insane unless you have an outdated version. How exactly did you test this? Keep in mind it will slow down a bit while it rebuilds the cache. I'd enable it and then test a few hours later after browsing your entire site.

We have always recommended WP Supercache and after having some customers with 100+ page sites loaded with small images and static content, the loads on their servers & load times were drastically decreased.

I'd also recommend looking into a CDN in addition, such as CloudFlare.

I think I can see the problem here.

It does load faster the second time I open my website, but the problem is that most people will only be coming to my site once and if that takes 9 seconds to load the first time, they probably won't be coming back.

Well, it all depends. There's many factors that play into the loading speed. It may be a few seconds for you but milliseconds for the next person. This is why I recommended an external CDN such as CloudFlare which will help cache static content throughout their datacenters.

Any chance on getting a link?

Thanks
