WordPress hosting

[Abhi]

What is WordPress hosting ? Is it different from other shared hosting pacakges ? Is it better to pay more for such a service ?

Earlier people used to say that it was a gimmick. A trick to fool customers. Now that services like NameCheap has WordPress specific packages like easyWP, I think a few thing can be optimised to make WordPress installation and maintenance easier.

So it is not just eyewash, right ? Some of them are true.

I was hoping a faster connection for WordPress with WordPress hosting.

Providers sell "optimised for WordPress" but in reality, most are over subscribed. The environment is also classed as "managed" but in reality, it's nothing you can't handle yourself.

Can you tell about them ?

I think they will be providing some extra help to make it little faster and better. But have full control of the setup and installing plugins will make you a better learner

You take out a few things that is not required. Add a few scripts that will make some settings one-click. Hopefully that will give you a WordPress hosting.

But if you are going to pay more, make sure that performance is better than that in a normal hosting package. Otherwise, not worth it.

Yes. The most important parts are regular and reliable backups, security, maintenance, and overall mangement
