For developers, agencies, and enterprise-level businesses, choosing a hosting solution that will support your needs and grow with you is critical. A website that isn’t set up to operate effectively can damage your reputation or, worse, clog your pipeline with missed opportunities.
To prevent that, you can set your business up to win by choosing a WordPress hosting partner with deep platform expertise and an infrastructure designed for efficiency, security, and scalability. That choice can be tough, so in this article we outline five common mistakes you should avoid when choosing a hosting provider.
There is a wide variety of WordPress hosts out there offering varying levels of support. When your site goes down or experiences critical problems, you need experienced support that has faced similar challenges and can quickly assist you. Choosing a host that is slow or does not offer specialized WordPress support can be disastrous.
Pressable’s support team is made up of real WordPress experts available 24/7. Our support team boasts a satisfaction rating of more than 98%. They are trained to quickly assist you in mitigating your site’s problems and getting you back up and running.
Not all WordPress hosts are created equal. Choosing the wrong type of hosting can result in slow site speed, limited scalability, and security vulnerabilities. The top hosting options include:
How do you avoid choosing the wrong type of hosting? Compare your business needs, budget, and technical support up against the features of each hosting provider.
If you can’t compromise on speed or security, a shared hosting solution wouldn’t be a good fit. If you’d like to be more hands-off with optimal technical support, a managed hosting solution will work best for you. It comes down to what you need and how your WordPress Host can support those needs.
Pressable offers an easy-to-use WordPress hosting dashboard and control panel. This intuitive interface gives you quick access to site data and developer tools to easily manage and update your site.
Businesses and their websites are not static. The goal is to grow them. Too often, a business may only consider its current WordPress hosting needs, which may not offer room for growth. This can lead to performance issues and forced migrations down the road.
When choosing a WordPress host, you need to think long-term. With Pressable, when your traffic spikes and you begin to see growth in the number of visitors to your site, Pressable is able to automatically scale to handle this growth. As your business grows, your needs may change. With a clear understanding of your business goals we can offer you a managed WordPress hosting plan that helps you grow and meet your goals more quickly.
What kind of infrastructure does the host provider offer? WordPress sites have unique infrastructure support needs. The underlying infrastructure needs to be tuned for speed, uptime, and security. If you don’t look more closely at the host’s infrastructure, you may end up with slow loading times, a poor user experience, decreased SEO, and increased exposure to cyberattacks.
Pressable hosting is optimized specifically for WordPress. We have a global content delivery network (CDN) with more than 28 data centers to ensure speedy page loads and instant scalability to handle traffic spikes. Our high-availability WordPress hosting offers a 100% uptime guarantee. If your main site goes down it is replicated in real time to a second data center in a different region.
Pressable offers a free Jetpack Security plugin that includes Web Application Firewall (WAF) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection, access to a real-time activity log, and user account security with built-in two-factor authentication (2FA) and compromised password scanning. We also provide automated backup to help bring your site back up if it goes down.
Think high bounce rates, empty checkout carts, lost sales, or being known as an unreliable business. Sounds scary, right? Those are the harsh realities of overlooking the impact uptime has on your website and, in turn, your business.
Frequent downtimes can cause this; that’s why your WordPress hosting partner needs to have the server support you require. The higher the uptime, the better, and a good host will provide at least 99% uptime, but Pressable provides 100% uptime.
What does that mean?
That level of reliability translates to professionalism and trustworthiness to your customers.
Dodging these mistakes will set your business apart from competitors and put you on a path to sustainable growth. With the right WordPress host, you’re in a position to optimize your website, keep it secure, and create a user experience that turns customers into brand advocates.
