Why You Need Dedicated WordPress Hosting
WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems (CMS) in the world, powering over 40% of all websites on the internet. When it comes to hosting a WordPress website, you have two main options: shared web hosting or dedicated WordPress hosting. Here’s why you need dedicated WordPress hosting instead of shared web hosting.
First, let’s define what shared web hosting and dedicated WordPress hosting are.
Shared web hosting involves multiple websites sharing the same server resources. This means that your website is hosted on the same server as several other websites, and you are sharing the server’s resources, including CPU, RAM, and storage. Shared web hosting is usually cheaper than dedicated hosting, but it comes with some limitations. For example, if one website on the server experiences a surge in traffic, it can affect the performance of all the other websites on the same server.
Dedicated WordPress hosting, on the other hand, is a type of hosting where a single website has its own dedicated server resources. This means that your website is hosted on a server that is solely dedicated to your website, and you have complete control over the server resources. Dedicated WordPress hosting is generally more expensive than shared web hosting, but it offers several advantages over shared hosting.
Now that we understand the difference between shared web hosting and dedicated WordPress hosting, let’s explore some reasons why you need dedicated WordPress hosting.
Better Performance with dedicated WordPress hosting
You have full control over the server resources, which means that your website will perform better than it would on shared hosting. This is because there are no other websites on the server using up valuable resources, and you can optimize the server specifically for your website’s needs. Dedicated WordPress hosting typically includes faster hardware, more memory, and faster disk speeds, which can result in faster load times and better performance.
More Security with dedicated WordPress hosting
Security is a crucial factor when it comes to hosting a website. With shared web hosting, you are sharing the server resources with other websites, which can make your website vulnerable to security breaches. If one of the websites on the server is hacked, it can affect all the other websites on the server. With dedicated WordPress hosting, you have complete control over the server environment, which means that you can implement your own security measures and protocols to protect your website.
Greater Flexibility with dedicated WordPress hosting
Dedicated WordPress hosting offers greater flexibility than shared web hosting. With shared hosting, you are limited to the server resources and software that are provided by the hosting provider. With dedicated WordPress hosting, you can choose the hardware and software that best suits your website’s needs. You can customize the server environment to optimize performance, security, and functionality.
Better Support
With shared web hosting, you are sharing the server resources with other websites, which means that you are also sharing the support resources with other websites. This can result in slower response times and less personalized support. With dedicated WordPress hosting, you have dedicated support resources that are specifically focused on your website. This means that you can expect faster response times and more personalized support.
Scalability
Dedicated WordPress hosting is more scalable than shared web hosting. With shared hosting, you are limited to the server resources that are provided by the hosting provider. If your website experiences a surge in traffic, you may run into issues with server resources. With dedicated WordPress hosting, you can scale up or down depending on your website’s needs. You can add more server resources as your website grows, ensuring that your website is always running smoothly.
In conclusion, dedicated WordPress hosting offers several advantages over shared web hosting, including better performance, more security, greater flexibility, better support, and scalability. While dedicated WordPress hosting is more expensive than shared hosting, it is well worth the investment if you are serious about
Frequently Asked Questions about WordPress Hosting & Maintenance
How do I know which plan is right for me?
If you have a simple site (10ish pages, a contact form, no user management) I recommend the 1 hour plan.
If you have more than 10 pages, or any user management, or you think you’ll need regular small functionality implementation (IE moving the sidebar from the left to the right) I recommend the three hour plan. If you don’t know which plan is right for you, choose this plan. You can always upgrade or downgrade whenever you need.
If you have users, products, more than 25 pages and will need regular functionality / design enhancements I recommend the five hour plan.
What does “support” include exactly?
Support can include anything from copy updates, to design changes, to SEO implementation, and anything in between. If you think you need more than just small changes every month, and want a full redesign or a big functionality / UX improvement contact me to get a quote. WordPress hosting & support clients get a 25% discount in project pricing.
Do I need my own hosting?
NO!!! All of these plans include dedicated WordPress hosting, on my dedicated servers. After I finish transferring your site, you can cancel your old hosting plan.
If I move my site to your hosting, will it effect my SEO?
I will move your site exactly as it is, so it won’t affect your SEO at all. If anything, you’ll get a slight bump from a faster and more secure site.
What if I need more than 5 hours of maintenance per month?
What if my site isn’t on WordPress?
That’s okay! I work with all kinds of different CMS’s and platforms. To name a few others: SquareSpace, Shopify, Jekyll, Drupal, Joomla!, and others. Please contact me to get a quote.
What is a CDN?
A CDN is a content display network, and it serves your content really fast. It utilizes servers from all over the world and caches your WordPress site into HTML to reduce server requests.
What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate tells people that your site can be trusted (it’s the green lock at the top of the URL bar).
When am I billed?
You’re billed when you sign up and then on that day every month. IE if you sign up on the 14th of the month, you’re billed on the 14th of every month.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan at any time?
Yes of course!
What happens if I want to cancel?
I’ll transfer your WPEngine install to you, or send you a zip file with the database and all files so you can recreate your site on any other server.
