You’re here because you either attended one of my training classes or one-on-one business counseling. I am often asked to recommend website hosting for WordPress. I have been fortunate to use many different service providers over twenty-five+ years. The truth is most can do a sufficient job and they will all end up making you angry at some point.

• Don’t buy it until you know exactly what your website requirements will be.
• Good customer support is important.
• Ask people you know about their experiences with their web hosting provider.
• Don’t decide based on price alone.

All I’m going to do here is provide a list of WordPress website hosting providers. As I’ve probably already advised you, please do your own research. Search Google for reviews. Ask your peers/colleagues which they’ve used. Remember, you can always move your WordPress website to another service provider in the future if you are unhappy with your current one.

• WPEngine.com
• SiteGround ^*
• BlueHost.com
• Dreamhost.com
• InMotionHosting.com

There are many more service providers. This is just to get you started. My personal preference (lately) has been SiteGround — their StartUp plan is typically sufficient for a first small business WordPress website — not an endorsement, just my experience. Please do some of your own research to be confident in your decision. (And please don’t ask my opinion about GoDaddy.)
