WordPress is the most popular content management system for many organizations and small businesses.
Why?
Because in its origin, it was a blogging platform with a similar user interface as Microsoft Word. Over the years, it has added functionality through plugins that make it as robust as some of the other content management systems out there, but at heart, it’s still a blogging platform.
When it comes to website hosting for WordPress, you should go with a host that will commit to updating their backend (PHP versions) to support WordPress and other content management platforms that PHP supports.
One website hosting company that will go nameless refused to update their PHP version, and it caused WordPress to give a warning such as this:
This prevents WordPress from updating to the most recent version and also makes the platform unstable. Also, plugins may not work correctly.
It’s essential to have a website host that you can rely on to be stable and secure. TDB Marketing recommends Bluehost for many of our clients because it offers these benefits and it’s very affordable. In addition, Bluehost offers the following:
- a web builder that helps you build a good looking site rather quickly.
