However, this doesn&#8217;t mean you have to settle for a subpar service. Hosting is a very competitive field, so you&#8217;d be surprised at the quality you can get for a fairly low price. This is in contrast to other niches such as e-commerce, which often need to open their wallets to get a suitable hosting provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, cost is a key factor when looking for a blogging host. You&#8217;ll want to look for something affordable, since you may not be making much money at first. It&#8217;s also smart to choose a host with a track record for high uptimes, since you can&#8217;t build a consistent readership if your site isn&#8217;t reliably available. Finally, you&#8217;ll need plenty of server space, so you aren&#8217;t limited in the amount of content and resources you can share with your blog&#8217;s audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many factors to consider, picking the right service can be difficult. There are a lot of potential choices to sort through. Let&#8217;s talk about some of the features that separate decent web hosts from great ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Excellent performance<\/strong>. \ud83d\udcca Sometimes, your blog may feel sluggish due to poor optimization on your end. However, the problem may instead be that your web host&#8217;s performance isn&#8217;t up to par. Having <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.kissmetrics.com\/loading-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fast website is critical<\/a> if you want to grow its audience, so keep an eye out for this metric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Competitive prices<\/strong>. \ud83d\udcb5 As you might expect, some of the top WordPress hosting services aren&#8217;t cheap. However, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/types-of-wordpress-hosting-plans\/\">plenty of starter plans<\/a> that can handle small to medium-sized blogs without breaking a sweat. If you&#8217;re just starting out, you don&#8217;t want to have to break the bank to afford hosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Targeted WordPress offerings<\/strong>. \ud83c\udfaf What separates excellent WordPress hosts from all the other services out there are the specialized features they offer. For example, some hosts staff their support team with WordPress experts, while others offer dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/managed-wordpress-hosting-cheap\/\">managed hosting services<\/a> for the platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These aren&#8217;t the only criteria to keep in mind when <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/choose-wordpress-web-hosting-company\/\">looking for a web host<\/a>, but they all have one thing in common \u2013 they&#8217;re quantifiable. You can find hard data concerning all three of them, and use it to make an informed decision about which WordPress blog hosting service to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three of the best hosting providers for WordPress blogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are three popular hosting providers for WordPress websites (offering both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cjoQS0u2YIg&amp;list=PLmRasCVwuvpSxTMNxV5mncA6F9lTZMWNm&amp;index=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shared and managed hosting plans<\/a>). We&#8217;ll be evaluating each host&#8217;s performance with two different metrics: a simple speed test using <a href=\"https:\/\/tools.pingdom.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pingdom Tools<\/a>, and a stress test via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loadimpact.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Load Impact<\/a>. Plus, we&#8217;ll show you what ratings they received (using a 1\u20135 scale) during our <a href=\"https:\/\/wpshout.com\/wordpress-hosting-survey-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">massive WordPress hosting survey<\/a>, and on popular review site WhoIsHostingThis where applicable. Finally, we&#8217;ll showcase a quote from a real-life customer about each hosting platform, and discuss pricing options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we jump in, it&#8217;s worth mentioning that you shouldn&#8217;t only use one source to research WordPress hosting. This is an important choice, so we encourage you to peruse <a href=\"https:\/\/wpshout.com\/best-wordpress-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multiple reviews<\/a> for any platform you&#8217;re seriously considering.
