WordPress sites – how to choose web hosting?
It is widely known that you can never go wrong with websites created on WordPress . This system is a very good entry point for most projects in the digitalization of business (whether a B2B presentation website or, for example, a B2C e-shop). I wrote more reasons for choosing a WordPress website in a previous article . In addition to the technical optimization of the website itself, the type of web hosting you choose is also a very important factor. This factor plays one of the key roles in achieving better website performance, but also, for example, a better rating within Google PageSpeed ​​Insights. Therefore, in this next article I will focus on an introduction to the issue of hosting for a website on the WordPress system. Most of you will probably be considering an established, large or well-known host . There is nothing to argue against that. However, smaller ones are also worth considering, which have equally good results in terms of stability and connection speed. There are plenty of them on the Czech market, and the reward for choosing them will be more personal customer service and a good feeling of supporting the domestic, sometimes even regional economy.

WordPress hosting prices
For those who place the greatest emphasis on price, we will tell you right from the start that there are providers skype database that offer mini web hosting starting at CZK 22 excluding VAT per month. This can be a solution for many newcomers who do not intend to run a large website with extensive customization and high expected traffic. WordPress is supported by almost all hosts, and in addition to installation instructions, there is also an application installer available that will help even inexperienced users install WordPress on their web hosting. More experienced users can install using their own package, which some providers have prepared. Many hosting providers specialize directly in WordPress. For customers, this can result in a number of benefits, such as discounts on plugins from selected partners, the ability to always install the latest plugins, and regular automatic WordPress updates.

And what do you get for them?
It is interesting to look at hosting in terms of classic criteria such as speed, stability, maximum number of supported domains, security, availability of support and of course the price-performance ratio. For websites with https, which are now the standard, the response speed of servers from individual providers varies by a maximum of tens of milliseconds, and only in extreme cases, so this is definitely not a criterion that should be considered the most important. If the provider uses HDD instead of SSD, it may happen that loading pages in WordPress will be slower for several reasons. Good providers usually respond to this fact with a plugin, which is of course available for free. The argument for such providers is usually the lowest price for basic web hosting on the market - if they do not want to or cannot offer it, there is no reason to complicate life by installing plugins that are not needed elsewhere.
