WordPress Hosting vs Paid Hosting

[Rudy Baylor]

Hello

When wordpress blog can be self-hosted with wordpress, then why should we use paid hosting service?

[Nicholas Easter]

More and more users create their site on the Wordpress platform. For if any of our readers do not yet know, Wordpress is a blogging platform that has the greatest benefits, possible to create a fully functional website with the best aesthetic level in just minutes. Once created it can be modified by endless design themes (wordpress themes) that give our site a professional touch, a few years ago we would not have dared to imagine.

However, Wordpress platform in its original version has a small defect (of pure good will, is true). If the site you create is hosted on servers of wordpress; same company, then you may feel there are lot of limitation for you. On the other hand, if you opt paid hosting option, then you can control it anyhow (according to your needs) And at least you can sleep soundly by knowing that your website is hosted on a server where web host take care to make your site always available for your visitors.

Let no one misunderstand me, that Wordpress itself allows us to create a site under their platform and then still give us their own web hosting servers seems great.

If you are not able to afford normal web hosting cost, then it's a good option, but what will happen to your site is unpredictable, even though there is no assurance whether it is available to your visitors all the time.

On the web, millions of "plugins" exist (you can add those plugins to your site to make it fantastic and beneficial), that you can be used in a Wordpress site with only paid hosting. In other words, if you want to use the enormous amount of plugins that web host offered, then you shouldn't host wordpress on their servers.

Hosting WP site under wordpress hosting service makes no sense, because you cannot use your own domain name. The address of you site will always be something like: abc.wordpress.com.

[Henry Rose]

Needles to clarify here that if you try to get people to remember your website, for both reasons, marketing and self image, then a website whose address belongs to another company is not professional and not to say that it is not recommended at all...

[Louis Roulet]

The magic answer in this case comes from the some executives of Wordpress, a few years ago they decided to allow thousands of users who enjoy their platform could be used as a kind of Wordpress itself, ie a wordpress should be hosted on a paid hosting, which is certainly much more secure.

Note that when hosting Wordpress on a shared server (the most common option, cheaper and certainly more effective in hiring a hosting) also get an extra benefit. Many hosting services we can hire, especially those located in the United States and some European countries, offer to register a domain for our site completely free of charge when engaging the services of web hosting.

That is the direction of you site will be something like www.yourdomain.com or whatever you want it, without the word "Wordpress" figure at all. This is certainly a Wordpress itself, which will run on your own hosting account, but with all the advantages of a site built entirely in Wordpress platform, ease of construction, security, speed and aesthetic design that has nothing to envy the best professional website.

If you are hosting your blog with Wordpress, this will be seen in the URL as well as on your blog. This may be fine for readers for some time but you won't be able to generate enough genuine traffic for it. Also, this will actually reduce the trust level of your visitors and most of them will never think that the information is reliable enough. Paid hosting will eliminate all these negative factors and hence it's recommended.
