WordPress was created by and is maintained by an expert team of worldwide developers. Since its launch in 2003, WordPress has continued to be built upon, tweaked, and improved in an effort to provide its user base with the very best usability and site performance.

So, how can you ensure you have that speed and reliability? Well, there are many things you can do to ensure a fast-performing website, like keeping your software up to date, using a minimal amount of plugins, optimizing your images, using a CDN, and more. But at the end of the day, your web host’s hardware, network, data center locations, and software are just as important, if not more.
Your choice of hosting provider for WordPress can have a direct impact on your site's success, so we recommend going with a trustworthy WP hosting provider – Hosting.com, where our motto is 'Our Speed, Your Success

Many reasons!
To put it simply, we love what we do, and that shows in every service we offer. Our hosting solutions for WordPress are designed to be user-friendly, yet they are loaded with a number of features that developers are looking for. That means both WordPress experts and users who have never hosted a site before will love our solutions
Since our launch in 2003, hosting.com has been on the cutting edge of hosting and development technology. We were one of the first hosts to offer technology like PHP 5 and SSDs.

While we won't give you the whole recipe for our speed, here are a few key ingredients
For newer WordPress sites, we definitely recommend our high-speed and easy-to-use Shared Hosting solutions. They are the perfect springboard to get your site up and running.

We encourage you to contact our sales team if you have any questions about our hosting packages and which will best fit your site.
Here are just a few features you’ll experience on this platform:
Hosting.com Optimized is a product by our WordPress team to help with the concerning trend of users loading their WordPress sites with plugins to try and get the fastest, most secure setup possible. Unfortunately, in most instances, too many plugins can actually make a WordPress install slower and less secure. This is due to two main reasons:
Each installed plugin slows down a WordPress site due to its size.
Often these plugins are not updated when needed, and out-of-date plugins make WordPress sites particularly vulnerable to exploits.
This is where hosting.com Optimized came into play. Hosting.com Optimized WordPress ensures you get everything you need from the most secure and high-performing setup because we know what works and what doesn’t – our team has tested a very high number of configurations.
And the best part is that you get this pre-configured, hosting.com Optimized WordPress setup right out of the box when you sign up with us!
The first step in customizing your WordPress site is to log into your WordPress install. From there, you’ll find an “Appearance” section within your WordPress dashboard dedicated to helping you customize your site.
The method you’ll find most effective and easy is by using a pre-made WordPress theme. Just click the “Add New Theme” button to browse through a number of theme options. You can search for themes as well as use the Feature Filter, which is an excellent way to discover a theme that you like the most. This is where you can narrow down themes based on features, the type of layout you want, and the subject of your site.
Once you find a theme you like, you will want to click on the selected theme and click the “Install” button. Once installed, navigate to the “Appearance” menu, select the newly installed theme, and select “Activate.”
Most free hosting providers incorporate advertising into their services. They might require attribution links or banner ads on user sites or send lots of marketing emails to sell paid hosting or some other upgrade.
Limited support is the biggest gamble users take with free hosting. Free WordPress hosts often have a support forum for posting questions but don’t count on quick and helpful responses. With free hosting, support is a matter of luck, not service. Free hosting users literally get what they pay for.
That’s why we recommend going for a paid option – it pays out in the long run! For a few dollars a month from hosting.com, you get blazing fast, ad-free cheap hosting for WordPress with amazing support from our 24/7/365 Guru Crew!
The WordPress application is free, with free themes and plugins to get you started. Many startup businesses set up their websites with no expenses aside from their hosting and domain costs.
Premium WordPress add-ons incur fees, some for a few dollars or a donation. Others cost hundreds of dollars annually but are mostly for advanced users. A WordPress website, like any other, consumes bandwidth and may grow over time. The more content, media, and plugins the site has, the more likely resource needs will increase.
You should plan and budget accordingly for new expenses as your account grows. At first, shared hosting works well for most WordPress sites, but most users upgrade their plans when they outgrow their shared hosting accounts, especially ecommerce or business sites. Hosting.com is where you can get high-quality, affordable hosting for WordPress!
WordPress’ origins can be traced back to the beginning of 2001 when the blogging solution B2/cafelog was launched by French programmer Michael Valdrighi. B2/cafelog was an innovative solution at the time because it introduced the ability for pages to be created dynamically with a MySQL database. Valdrighi continued to work on B2/cafelog and released version 1.0 in 2002. Shortly afterward, Valdrighi stopped developing his solution. This was particularly unfortunate because B2/cafelog had grown its user base to a reasonable number. These users were left without a supported solution.
In the early parts of 2003, college freshman Matt Mullenweg wrote on his blog that he wanted to create a fork of B2/cafelog. He used the software to post photos from his trip to Washington, D.C. He teamed up with Mike Little to continue work on this new solution. This was around the same time that Valdrighi announced that Little and Mullenweg would be taking the lead on the B2/cafelog fork. The team launched the first version of WordPress in May 2003, using the same structure as B2/cafelog.
The WordPress team continued to grow, and friends of Mullenweg, like Christine Selleck Tremoulet, who suggested the name “WordPress,” would also contribute to the project.
WordPress v1.0 was released in January 2004 under the code name Davis. Some of the newest features in this release included SEO-friendly permalinks, the ability to post to multiple categories, the addition of comment moderation, and Atom support. A few months later, in May 2004, version 1.2 was released. This was a bit of a landmark release for WordPress because support for plugins was added in this version. Plugins have played a huge part in helping WordPress grow to the current levels because of their ability to add just about any functionality you want to a site.
