3 Advantages of Wordpress Hosting

September 26th, 2008 · by David Bradley

And now for a word from our supporters: Getting a website and signing up for web hosting are time-consuming activities that often require some skill and knowledge in programming and HTML, hypertext markup language, the computer code underlying the web. However, with so many webmasters running their websites and at the same time keeping a full-time, 40 hours a week, job, time is of the essence. That’s where a Wordpress host comes in handy offering you hosting solutions without the fuss.

If you want to start a website that looks professional and is easy to administrate but simply do not have the time to learn how build it yourself, using a blog publishing system is the perfect solution. Here are the top three reasons why:

The difference between regular web hosting and Wordpress hosting is that normally what you get is a shared web site hosting deal, with some space on the host server to store your website files, a certain amount of bandwidth and possibly a free domain name registration. With Wordpress hosting however, the host is aware of your limited time and programming interest thus offering pre-installable blog Wordpress scripts. This will allow you to set up a Wordpress blog onto your web hosting account without manual installation or configuration in a matter of minutes.
Another advantage with Wordpress hosting is that it’s open source. With the wp-files in your server space you can easily access them, download them and edit such files as the CSS. This freedom you do not have if you are not self-hosted. You can get a blog hosted by Wordpress.com but that will deprive you of all the design theme alternatives, plug-ins and other applicable features only available for self-hosted wp-bloggers.
You do not have to be a blogger to get Wordpress hosting. WP is simply a user-friendly publishing system, used by many professional website owners. With a theme editor directly in the admin and addable plug-ins for just about any desire, Wordpress is more than just a blogging tool. It’s a content management system that allows anybody with little time and know-how to administrate their website.

So, what are you waiting for? Time is of the essence, after all.

I’ve seen WordPress used for “regular” websites, which makes a lot of sense, given how easy to use their CMS (Content Management System) is.

WordPress does have a lot going for it. However, there are some strange parts to it. But unless you’re a developer like me, you won’t see such things.

But in time, WordPress is going to become a very serious player indeed. Especially since they bought out IntenseDebate, who’re the developers of one of the better commenting tools out there.

WordPress as a Social Network? Could be…

The whole issue of tracking comments and threading conversations across the whole blogosphere was discussed at an unconference session I attended at sciblog08. The Automattic/Wordpress acquisition of IntenseDebate (we better not call it ID) is very interesting and could allow, like you say, social networking to become ubiquitous.

What’s your CPU policy on shared hosting?

Quel nombre de visiteur maximum peut on avoir par jour (ou mois) ? Y a t’il un nombre limite de visiteurs simultanés sur un blog hébergé par Wordpress ?
David Bradley // Oct 22, 2008 at 6:39 pm

Joe - it’s impossible to talk about the limits of a particular host in terms of numbers of visitors per day or per month, unless they actually somehow specify limits. But, more common are bandwidth limits. You could have fewer visitors downloading more pages, for instance.
