Best WordPress Web Hosts

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010 at 9:24 am

Yesterday I wrote about the changes coming early next year and the need to make sure that your host is set up to handle the changes. That brought about this question in the comments.

What are the best WP.ORG Hosts, a list large or small may help a lot of folks.

Now WordPress lists their recommended hosts and you can find their list here. If you use their links they get something and it helps support the development of WordPress.

Now for me personally after working on numerous blogs for customers on a wide variety of web hosts there are two that I prefer.

The reason for my preference is always the same. The service they provide. See there are thousands of hosts out there that will support WordPress but it is the ability to get help when you have a problem that is key.

The first is Zoot Host. I just moved my dedicated server to Jon because the company I was using for 5 years was sold and the new company had terrible support.

I went from having a very responsive host to one that was piss poor to say the least. Now over the next day or so I will have problems as it always happens when moving that many sites but I know that they will get fixed asap.

The second one is HostGator. I have quite a few blogs with them and have worked on numerous blogs that they host for customers. They have always been extremely responsive whenever I have had a problem whether for a customer or for my personal sites.

So my number one thing for any host is responsiveness when I have a problem. Hope these help you and answers the question.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed and your questions often become the content for these posts.
