WordPress host recommendation

——In 2024, the webmaster will personally test the recommendation of excellent WordPress website host

WordPress virtual host, shared host, dedicated host, website space, VPS, server, host space, so many words are silly and unclear?

This article gives you a detailed introduction to the website space and the knowledge points of WordPress host. If you have any questions, please leave a message to discuss and exchange.

Wordpress Hosting

Concept of server and host

Any website needs a place to store website resources. This "place" is called "website server". You can think of a website server as a computer that can be accessed through the Internet. According to the performance and architecture of this "computer", it is divided into virtual host, VPS, independent server, etc.

A simple point to help you understand the knowledge of website host selection is: servers are paid for every penny. Beginners almost start with virtual hosts, and will gradually turn to VPS after a few years. Well developed websites will finally choose independent servers. Please read the detailed differences“ #Building a website # The difference between the virtual host and VPS ”。

In essence, WordPress host is also a kind of website space, which is not too different from other hosts. It's just that more than 40% of websites on the Internet are built using WordPress, which makes it easier for businesses to launch products for WordPress.

The dedicated WordPress host has made certain optimization for WordPress, which is more friendly to users who just come into contact with WordPress.

In addition, some services will launch WooCommerce dedicated hosts. If the configuration and price are the same, the two hosts are actually the same. There is no difference, because WooCommerce itself is a plug-in of WordPress, which can be installed and uninstalled freely.

Tip: There are many WordPress hosts on the Internet. The following three are recommended by dads after years of use. Each has a corresponding tutorial. Please feel free to buy.
Service provider Minimum monthly price Reason for recommendation Detailed introduction
SiteGround $2.99 WordPress officially recommends the host. Customized background is more convenient to use, and after-sales service is also good. (Credit Card/PayPal) View details
Hostinger ￥23.99 It supports Chinese and Alipay payment. It is cheap and functional. (Credit card/PayPal/Alipay) View details
GreenGeeks $2.95 The price is cheap. The father bought a 3-year package test, which is suitable for beginners. (Credit card) View details

WordPress host recommendation 1: SiteGround

SiteGround is one of the webmasters officially recommended by WordPress. Daddy has bought and used it himself, and many customers are using it. Generally speaking, the products and services are good, but the price discount is not as high as before. The price of one year's purchase is the lowest, while the price of three years' purchase was the lowest.

comment:

SiteGround is a 24-hour online customer service. The self-developed backstage is more convenient than other service providers. The services required for WordPress website construction are all self provided, such as SSL, CDN, backup, etc. Note that the renewal fee for the next year is the original price. If you don't want to renew your subscription, you can change to another service provider the next year, which will not affect your website access.

WordPress host recommendation 2: Hostinger

Hostinger's father has been in touch with it for a long time. Their products are very cheap when it comes to events. They are still skilled after many years. They also support Alipay payment, which is convenient for Chinese people to buy.

comment:

The cheapest WordPress host has a Chinese interface, supports Alipay payment, and provides SSL, backup and other functions. The cheap package does not have built-in CDN services, but you can manually add free CDN services. However, it is more appropriate to recommend a package that costs less.

Although it is cheap, its performance can fully meet the requirements of the official website of ordinary enterprises, so you can buy it with confidence.

WordPress host recommendation 3: GreenGeeks

GreenGeeks provides WordPress users with fast, secure and scalable hosting services, and the father has purchased a three-year package.

GreenGeeks also provides services required by the WordPress website, such as SSL, CDN, backup, etc., and the price is relatively cheap, at least $2.95/month.

comment:

The price is cheap, the customer service is also good, the service purchased by the father has operated normally for three years, and is very stable. PayPal payment has been taken off the shelf, and now only credit card payment is supported.

After payment, it will be reviewed manually, and you may also need to provide a credit card photo via email to prove that it is not stolen.

Domestic WordPress host recommendation

There are some differences between domestic WordPress hosts and foreign WordPress hosts, generally as follows:

  1. The domestic WordPress host can only be used after being filed;
  2. The domestic WordPress host is not optimized for WordPress as foreign ones;
  3. Domestic WordPress hosts are generally not as convenient as foreign WordPress hosts;
  4. There are few WordPress hosting companies in China, and they have basically upgraded to virtual machines in China.

There is almost no choice to recommend domestic WordPress hosts. AliCloud is selling virtual hosts, but at the same price, my father strongly recommends that you buy VPS directly. See: VPS recommendation

How is the WordPress host different

In essence, WordPress is also a kind of website space, which is not very different from hosts with other names. It's just that more than 40% of websites on the Internet are built using WordPress, which makes it easier for businesses to launch products for WordPress.

The dedicated WordPress host has made certain optimization for WordPress, which is more friendly to users who just come into contact with WordPress.

In addition, some services will launch WooCommerce dedicated hosts. If the configuration and price are the same, the two hosts are actually the same. There is no difference, because WooCommerce itself is a plug-in of WordPress, which can be installed and uninstalled freely.

How to choose a WordPress host

Precautions for WordPress host selection

Since you choose to buy a WordPress host, I believe you are a newcomer to the website. My father suggests you choose managed WordPress Hosting directly, taking into account the following points:

  1. Select a hosted virtual host optimized for WordPress;
  2. Provide free SSL security certificate;
  3. Provide automatic backup function;
  4. Provide free CDN services;
  5. Whether after-sales support is provided.

The above five points are mainly considered. In addition, the size of space, the amount of traffic, and the support for installing several websites can be selected according to the actual situation. Generally, after installing WordPress and basic themes and plug-ins, the server takes up hundreds of megabytes of space, depending on how many images and other resources you need to upload to the server later.

Deprecated WordPress host

Bluehost is one of the WordPress hosts that my father doesn't recommend.

Bluehost is divided into foreign and domestic websites. Bluehost Chinese website is a Chinese website that others rent Bluehost's brand, not Bluehost's own business.

From the actual experience of dads (often users seek technical help from dads, and naturally they have contacted many host vendors), Bluehost's services, whether in English or Chinese, are really rubbish, the host's performance is insufficient, the management panel is not humanized, and the proxy access to the management background is slow, so we strongly recommend that you not buy it.

Frequently asked questions about WordPress host

No, WordPress host can also install websites with other programs, but WordPress host has made some performance and function optimizations for WordPress, which is higher in performance and convenience than ordinary virtual host.

Yes, no matter which country you choose, you can install a Chinese website on the WordPress host. There is no language limit. You only need to consider the speed of accessing the website in China.

Price performance ratio is a relative concept. Under the same quality, the lowest price host has the highest price performance ratio. But everyone has different feelings about the quality. Some people care about speed, some people care about performance, and some people care about service. Usually, the price of a WordPress virtual host is transparent. Different prices must have some differences in service, Select the service provider within your psychological price range.

    Hello, I plan to do an independent foreign trade station through Wordpress, and I also saw your video of station B. There are several questions to check with you:
    1. The domain name SSL. The domain name I bought in AliCloud is charged for SSL, and the price is very expensive. But when I see the domain name you bought in Station B, the SSL certificate is free. The domain name you bought is from other websites, and the host is bought on GreenGeeks. Can I get a free SSL certificate if I buy the host service on GreenGeeks?
    2. What type of host is GreenGeeks? The price is very cheap. Is it a shared host?
    3. The GreenGeeks Pro package mentioned above can create unlimited websites. I plan to build B2B and B2C websites. B2B visits are usually very small, with no more than 200 UVs a day; B2C is hard to say. In a good day, 1K-2K visits will be received. How much bandwidth does this package support? In addition, the configuration of the server doesn't seem to have been mentioned.
    4. If B2C is established, is there any introduction about PayPal, credit card acquiring and other acquiring tools?

    Looking forward to receiving your reply, thank you!

      Basically, the current virtual hosts come with free ssl certificates. If they are vps, they can also apply for free certificates.
      Virtual hosts are basically shared.
      When it comes to building unlimited websites, it's just a matter of saying, don't expect to give a little money and enjoy a lot of services.
      Wordpress supports PayPal by default after installing woocommerce.

      ECS is about the same as vps, but virtual host is a little poor. The same configuration should be better if the price is expensive (excluding those with disorderly prices)

    Hello, Daddy
    I plan to do an independent foreign trade station through Wordpress, which is only used to display our products and customer inquiry messages. It would be better if I took payment.
    The domain name has been purchased through your recommendation
    Next, which package would be more suitable for me to buy.
    The set meal in the siteground is 6.99 dollars, 80 dollars for the first year. The price will be the same in the next year.
    Hostinger is very cost-effective.
    Which of the above two websites will match my needs better, and which will be more cost-effective

    Take up your precious time, please give me a reply, thank you

      If the amount of online payment is large, neither of them is suitable. It doesn't matter if the quantity is small. They can all be used. The cost performance ratio is a false proposition. The more money you buy, the more money you buy. The more money you buy, the more goods you buy. Performance is directly related to price.

    Hello, Daddy
    What kind of server should be selected for independent foreign trade station (B2B)?
    1. Tencent Cloud US Server: Good, but expensive
    2. Foreign virtual host: A) Siteground was relatively cheap in the first year, but it recovered its original price in the second year. B) Is Hostinger more cost-effective than Siteground?
    3. Foreign VPS: Vultr, I don't know what the price/credit ratio is?
    VPS should be better than the virtual host. Is Vultr considered? Will build a website with Wordpress.

    thank you!

    reply
    1. Lee

      Where can I see that Tencent Cloud US server is good? Apart from being a Chinese brand, it has no other obvious advantages.
      On the whole, the virtual host can't compete with vps, and you can get what you pay for.
      The cost performance of Vultr depends on what you think. Based on the configuration of 12 dollars a month, you think it is too expensive to invest less than 100 yuan a month in the server, so the cost performance ratio is not good. You think it is normal to invest hundreds of yuan a month in the server, so the cost performance ratio is very high.

      For personal blogs, you can choose a cheaper virtual host. Personal blogs are generally viewed by few people, and the traffic is not large. As long as the server is not hung up, there will be no impact.

    Daddy, I want to ask:
    At present, we plan to build a foreign trade marketing website. Some suggest using siteground, and some oppose the VPS: siteground website speed optimization, which can only be adjusted within the background cPanel framework, without any autonomy?
    Is that so?

    reply
    1. Lee

      Ask yourself if you can. You just want to buy a computer. Do you want to buy a computer that can be used when you start it, or do you want to buy a computer that you assemble and reuse. At the same price, the performance of the assembly will definitely be better. The premise is whether you can assemble and repair problems. No, then buy the one that is used for boot.

    Hello, Daddy, the company plans to build its own independent station. The budget is limited, and the novice Xiaobai has no experience. The simplest way is to buy a namesilo domain name, use a siteground server, and build a wordpress website. Is there anything you need to pay attention to, right? I don't know if I understand it all, right?
    If we plan to promote SEO next year, what should we pay attention to at the initial stage of construction?
    Thank you for your patience

    Hello, Dad, I bought a trusteeship called dreamhost through the trusteeship provider officially recommended by Wordpress. Have you ever used this trusteeship provider? Do you recommend it? At present, we are hesitating to open the 3-year unlimited plan (unlimited site). The cost is about 1000 yuan, and the 3-year renewal fee is more than 2000 yuan. How does dreamhost compare with hosting? Looking forward to your reply

    Hello, Daddy. I want to ask you, the company's corporate website built with WordPress has not enough traffic. Which server company is recommended in China? I don't want to use Alibaba/Tencent/Huawei.

    1. Lee

      Apart from these three companies, there is nothing good to recommend. They need to put on record. Big companies should be more convenient. Other prices have no advantage.

    Daddy, I used the domain name bought by the US domain center, and bought a server, cpanel. The domestic access speed is very slow. Do you need to change to another server? How about the US domain center

    reply
    1. Lee

      Their home is the distribution of godaddy. It is normal that the domestic access is slow. As long as the foreign access is not slow, the server can not be changed.
