Your Hosting company is important!
75,000,000This is how many websites on the
internet use WordPress
Want to control your content yourself? It’s cheaper, but, it also means that if there are updates then you will have to update it yourself.
Unmanaged Hosting
Want someone to handle everything there is for your website? Then you should sign up for managed hosting. It means that the hosting company will manage your site for you!
Managed Hosting
Managed vs Unmanaged Hosting
Here is my own example of a
managed host
What to look for in your WordPress Host
SecurityPerformance
Support Wordpress Specific Requirements
● PHP version 7 or greater● MySQL version 5.6 or
greater OR MariaDB version 10.0 or greater
● HTTPS support● Apache or Nginx web server
Specific WordPress Requirements With our world going to a mobile future performance and speed are very important. Has the host invested into infrastructure for performance issues.
PerformanceThere are malicious threats throughout the internet. Does your host have security built into their features so that your site is safe?
Security
Three important areas to look for in a Host
● PHP is an acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor"
● PHP scripts are executed on the server
What is PHP? What can it do?● PHP runs on various
platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, etc.)
● PHP is compatible with almost all servers used today (Apache, IIS, etc.)
● PHP supports a wide range of databases
Why PHP?
What in the world is PHP?
● PHP can generate dynamic page content
● PHP can create, open, read, write, delete, and close files on the server
● PHP can add, delete, modify data in your database
Your web server processes all of the PHP scripts on your host’s machines and not your customer’s computer.
Your Host’s infrastructure is very important when PHP is used on or as your website.
PHP? What does that have to do with a host?
