WordPress Web Host – Hosting Designed for WordPress Users

Finding a good web host for your websites or WordPress blogs can sometimes be difficult. In the past I’ve had a lot of success with HostGator, but sometimes found that working with a large web hosting company can sometimes leave some gaps, as their service wasn’t designed specifically for the needs of a WordPress blogger.

Recently I came across a web hosting service called WP Web Host, which is web hosting designed with WordPress bloggers in mind! Their servers were designed to support one click WordPress installation and their support is also focused completely on WordPress. They also recently added support for WordPressMU (for running multiple WordPress installations).

Some additional information about WP Web Host:

Fast & Stable Server and Network

We invest heavily in ensuring our servers are not overloaded, have the fastest network connections, and guarantee 99.9% of network uptime (and 99.5% of server uptime) to all of our customers.

100 Days Money Back Guarantee

We take pride in making sure our customers are equally satisfied and happy. If you are not, within 100 days from when your initial order was placed, you’ll get your money back.

If you are worried about WP Web Host being a new service, let me ease your worries. They currently have over 20,000 different satisfied users and a couple of years experience under their belts. They also have the guarantee quoted above, showing they are a reputable business.

Probably my favorite part about WP Web Host is the price! Your hosting is only $5.00 a month and includes up to 50 domain names, 50GBs of web space, and 500GBs of monthly bandwidth, which should be plenty for most WordPress bloggers.

If you’d like to give WP Web Host a try, we were given permission to give a special offer to our readers. If you use the coupon code WPHACKS, you’ll receive a one-time 30% discount on all hosting plan (and all billing cycle). Click here to take advantage of this offer!

Will the WordPress 2.7 Core Update Feature Work With My Web Host?

One of the most anticipated new features with WordPress 2.7 is the new core update feature which will automatically update your WordPress installation, removing the tedious process of installing the software yourself or waiting for Fantastico to update with the latest version of WordPress.

However, this new feature is not necessarily compatible with every web host, so it looks like the WordPress community has created a very nice list of Web Hosts that the Core Update Feature is Compatible With. It probably won’t affect whether you upgrade or not, but you can check this list to confirm your web host is included.

If you aren’t very technology-savvy, or just prefer to easily setup/upgrade your WordPress installations, there are a number of web hosting services that now support one-click installation of WordPress via Fantastico.

I’ve yet to find a good list, so I figured that it was time someone put one together to help these people know which web hosts they can choose from. Here are a list of web hosts that I have managed to confirm support WordPress installation via Fantastico:

Does your web host support Fantastico? If they aren’t on the above list, let me know in the comments below!
