- Which Web Hosting Service Should I Use?
A web hosting service can range from free to hundreds of dollars per month if you use a dedicated server.
But, for the business WordPress blog user who has one or two blogs or websites, you can certainly save yourself a lot of heartache by choosing the right web hosting service before you set up your blog or website. Here are some definite considerations:
- Avoid free web hosts! You never know when they might go bust and, they usually have limited customer support.
- Stick with Linux or Unix since Windows based servers can conflicts with aspects of the WordPress software
- Use a host that uses a control panel. You may not think it necessary now, but if you use sites like GoDaddy to host your site, you may decide to add scripts that need the cron job updating, only find there is none!
- Do your homework. Find out what the company's customer service is like, do they have live support and try to establish their customer service response rate.
