If you’re looking to start a blog chances are you’ve figured out that using wordpress is the best way to go. It’s versatility and applications are unmatched by any other and it’s one of the fastest and easiest way to start your own blog/site without having to be a techie geek.

….But what about hosting? WordPress requires high standards where hosting is concerned. We’ve found the small list of hosting providers below to be the most suitable options for hosting wordpress taking into account many factors. All three also happen to be the most user-friendly and most established webhosting companies out there.

Basic WordPress Hosting Requirements:

  • PHP 4.3 or greater
  • MySQL 4.1.2 or greater
  • The mod_rewrite Apache module


1. Hostgator

I have personally used Hostgator for all my hosting needs for years without a single problem or fault. For this reason, Hostgator is my number one recommendation.

Hostgators Offer:

  • Host unlimited domains.
  • Unlimited disk space.
  • Unlimited bandwidth.
  • 99.9% uptime.
  • 24/7/365 technical support.
  • 24/7/365 Server monitoring.

3. Godaddy

Godaddy is the worlds largest webhost. It’s also the provider I’ve personally used to purchase all my domains in recent years without ever having a problem. The only negative thing I have to say about them is they will try to up-sell you at every turn. Nothing really wrong with that, but it does get annoying after a while. Especially if you’re a repeat customer.

Godaddy basic hosting plan:

  • 10 GB space.
  • Unlimited bandwidth.
  • 100 email accounts.
  • 10 MySQL databases.
  • 24/7 technical support.
  • 24/7 network monitoring.
  • 99.9% uptime.
