Hosting Your Website
When it comes to hosting your website there are many options available.
However as this site deals with build a website using wordpress or SBI then I will only consider hosting from that perspective.
First is Site build-it (SBI) as it is easy. SBI is a package which includes the hosting and domain name so if you register for SBI you don’t need to get a hosting account.
If you already have one you cannot use it with SBI. You can transfer a domain name but even that I wouldn’t recommend.
Hosting Wordpress
Wordpress is much more flexible and can be hosted on almost all providers. The requirements are that teh hosting package supports:
- PHP
- MYSQL
The php version numbers will change as the Wordpress version changes. You can check the latest versions here.
A number of hosting providers support what is know as 1 click install which make the install process a simple matter of filling in a form. I would recommend that you select a host that does were possible.
I currently run wordpress on two providers :
- Blue Host - Supports 1 click install USA Based
- One and one -UK Manual install- UK based
UK or USA Hosting Recommendations
If your website is targeted at local audience then always choose a host and domain name that is local.
If it is targeted at an International audience then choose USA hosting.
