Best Web Hosting For WordPress 2024
we're going to go over the top 10
WordPress hosting companies one by one and talk about the pros and the cons for
every single one of these companies which means by the end of this video
You're going to know exactly which company you should go with to host your
WordPress website and as a bonus I have special discounted pricing for all of
these companies I have the hookup there's links Down Below in the
description that'll get you discounts on your WordPress hosting no matter which
company you go with but at the end of this video I'm going to share which one
of these companies I actually recommend that you go with for your WordPress
hosting and warning only three of these companies are actually recommended as a
host by WordPress themselves so make sure to like this video because I spent
a lot of time testing out all these different companies so that I can tell
you which one is the best one and let's get started first with siteground in the
first pro for siteground is they're actually one of the three companies
that's recommended by WordPress themselves as a recommended host the
second Pro is it's very easy to to set up a WordPress or a woocommerce website
using siteground as your host I've done a number of tutorials on this channel
showing you how you can set up your WordPress website in as little as four
minutes they also have very affordable pricing though they are not the most
affordable host singer who I'll be talking about later in this video is
actually the most affordable host and they're really high quality as well
Cyclone is also very reliable and they have fast servers and if you sign up
with siteground you also get a free SSL certificate and an SSL certificate will
make sure that all Communications that happen via your website are secure you
especially need an SSL certificate if you're planning on taking credit card
payments or having passwords or doing anything that there needs to be
protection for your users and some hosting companies will actually charge
you for an SSL certificate but siteground will give you this for free
as far as cons for siteground their pricing is mid-tier though recently they
did lower their prices a little bit but normally their prices are quite a bit
higher another huge con with siteground is they have pretty low plan limits with
their lowest plan you can only have one website you only get 10 gigabytes of web
space and you're only allowed 10 000 monthly visits which means if you're
planning on uploading a lot of images and videos to your website siteground
might not be the best option they also have high renewal fees siteground is
also not available in every country it's not available in India for instance and
siteground used to be my favorite hosting company but I recently changed
who I would recommend as my favorite hosting company and I'm going to be
sharing who that is later in this video and throughout this video I'll be
explaining some terms like bandwidth uptime and Page speed and why they're so
important that you know before you pay for hosting for the first time the
second hosting company we'll be talking about is Bluehost and Bluehost is also
recommended by WordPress themselves and it's also probably one of the most
popular hosting companies and because of that it's one of the most trusted
hosting companies out there in fact the first time I ever purchased hosting I
purchased it from Bluehost but if I were to purchase WordPress hosting again
today knowing everything that I know I would not choose Bluehost and I'll get
to why that is in just a minute but they do have relatively cheap plans and part
of the reason why they have and they're able to offer such cheap plans is they
go around and they buy smaller hosting companies and they aggregate them into
this giant conglomerate of a company but the biggest problem with Bluehost is I
actually think that they're overpriced I've had a ton of issues using Bluehost
in the past including really slow page speed and Page speed is how fast your
website loads when someone goes to your website in the past when people would go
to my website it would take them five six seven seconds before my website
would actually load up and that might not seem like a long time but if someone
goes to your website and it's not loading after a few seconds a lot of
times they'll just leave your website and go on to do something else instead
and this could cause lost sales and people never coming back to your website
in addition to that they have bad uptime and uptime is what percentage of the
time is your website actually available and no hosting company has a hundred
percent uptime almost all companies have issues every once in a while but most
uptime is around 99.99 with Bluehost I've personally had a ton of issues with
uptime people will go to my website and it's not working which again has lost me
thousands upon thousands of dollars in sales and one of the biggest Cons with
Bluehost that nobody talks about is the reason they got so popular is because
they were one of the first hosting companies to offer an affiliate program
this is where people would create websites promoting Bluehost and this
made it so that people would favor Bluehost over the other companies that
were better nowadays pretty much every hosting company out there has an
affiliate program and to make this video 100 unbiased I actually signed up for
the affiliate program for all of these hosting companies so I don't care which
one you used I do as I mentioned have discounted pricing for all these hosting
companies if you use the links in the description down below the third company
we're going to review is GoDaddy and there's not a lot of Pros with GoDaddy I
really don't recommend using them and the one pro that I could think of is
they do have phone support but there are a lot of cons first off they are
overpriced GoDaddy spends a ton of money on marketing getting people to buy the
domain name and their domain names are actually relatively affordably priced
but the way they make money is by upselling people like you to buy not
just the domain name from them but also the hosting and all kinds of extra
features that you don't need the plans and the pricing don't really make sense
and the user interface to creating a website is confusing to say the least
and on top of all that support can actually be really rude and I know a lot
of people that have had bad experiences with GoDaddy support A2 hosting is one
of the fastest hosting providers so if you want a website that's going to be
really fast A2 hosting is a good option they also have decent pricing for the
kind of speeds that they're offering however for cons they have relatively
poor uptime they're still at around 99.96 percent which sounds good but
there's other companies out there that are a lot better and part of the reason
why I don't recommend them is they actually got hacked a few years back and
it seems like they never fully recovered from that hack the back end of A2
hosting can also be relatively confusing and it's not the most beginner friendly
hosting company to start your first website HostGator is another popular
WordPress hosting website they have good customer service and relatively
affordable prices but here's a dirty little secret about HostGator they're
actually owned by the same parent company that owns Bluehost and since
HostGator is usually a little bit more expensive than Bluehost and they offer
relatively the same plans I don't see any reason to go with HostGator over
Bluehost now sometimes the prices of HostGator are cheaper and sometimes
Bluehost is cheaper I'd say if you're deciding between these two just go with
whoever has the cheaper prices WP engine is fast reliable it has great customer
support and overall it's probably the most professional and arguably the best
hosting company out there except for it is 10 times the price of all the other
hosting companies overall it's really a great host if you don't want to get
involved at all in the technical things you want great customer support if you
have a lot of money and you don't want to deal with any kind of issues WP
engine could be a good option for you but I personally would not recommend
them because I think they're overpriced in motion is another popular hosting
company but I couldn't really find a lot of Pros for them they do have good speed
and good uptime but compared to a lot of Hosting companies out there they're just
more expensive and you don't get anything extra for that extra money
you're spending in motion is also one of the slower hosting providers out there
just tumor hosting companies left including a hostinger which I think is
the most affordable company out there but before we get to that let's talk
about dreamhost and dreamhost is the third company that's recommended by
WordPress themselves but other than that I don't see any advantages for going
with dreamhost they're more expensive slower and less reliable than most the
other companies we've talked about so far they also have poor uptime and the
prices continue to go up despite the fact that their service isn't great and
that brings us to hosinger which is the most affordable hosting option out there
and I do have the hookup with them they gave me a coupon code if you use Travis
at checkout you get an extra 10 off which makes it so that hostinger costs
just a little over two dollars per month but the crazy thing about this company
is they're actually pretty good they're fast reliable and they have an easy
one-click setup for setting up your WordPress or woocommerce website it's so
easy to create a website with them that I was able to create a website in just a
few minutes they also operate pretty much all over the world and they offer
services in 40 different languages but there are some Cons with hostinger first
off they don't offer phone support So if that is something that's important to
you hostinger is probably not the right option the back end can also be a little
bit glitchy they have their own patented age panel and for the most part it works
really well but sometimes you might run into issues one other thing to note is
they have a relatively High renewal fee so I recommend signing up for a long
longer term plan because after your plan is over you're going to have to start
paying that higher renewal fee and for the winner in which hosting company you
should go with it really depends on what you want if you want the fastest hosting
company I would go with A2 hosting if you want the most reliable hosting
company go with WP engine but when it comes to best overall hosting company it
comes down to between these two companies siteground and hostinger and
hostinger wins for the best hosting company because they allow you to store
100 gigabytes of data you can create a hundred different websites even with
their cheapest plan you also get a free domain name free email and unlimited
free ssls but I will share that one of the big Cons with hostinger is they're
constantly increasing their pricing when I first found out about them it was only
99 cents a month now it's over two dollars a month so if you do want to
create your own WordPress website I'll put a link down below to all the
different hosts again I recommend going with hostinger you can use coupon code
Travis to get an extra 10 off so click on the link think start your WordPress
website today and I guarantee you're going to be so happy that you did
