Whats the fastest and most reliable Wordpress hosting?
 

Im not looking for cheapest, im looking for fast fast WORDPRESS hosting.
I want a host that knows Wordpress really well for speed.
thanks

There are several "mainstream" companies that specifically target WordPress. Keep in mind that WordPress is always going to depend on the webmaster. What plug-ins you are using, are they kept up-to-date, with themes, etc.

Is this a mainstream or adult site?

I'd recommend a SSD VPS, keep your install (and plug-ins and themes) up to date at all times and remove any plug-ins/themes that you are not using.

I run WP on several sites and have not had a single problem since I switched to MojoHost.

Take a look at WPEngine - Idea for fast, reliable, WP sites https://wpengine.co.uk/ :thumbsup

You really can't go wrong with Vacares. Really happy since I moved my own sites there with Sly.

Basically a SSD powered hosting in combination with W3 Super Cache installed will work really good. Now it all depends on your knowledge. If you know how to manage things you could get $5 DigitalOcean and that will work just fine. Otherwise you'll have to take shared hosting somewhere.

go with MOJOHOST

DigitalOcean is really the best choice for wordpress !

I suggest you go with a NVMe VPS and install WP Super Cache plugin for your WP blog.
This works better than a simple hosting.

Dreamhost.

J/k, just random blast from the past :)

Hi altmman, check MojoHost out! Our SSD VPS options will definitely exceed your expectations on what fast hosting means. MojoHost's team is highly experienced in working with WP, and you'll get all the benefits of Mojo's superior network that will deliver the fastest and most reliable service out there.

We're confident that you'll enjoy working with us and require no long-term contract to take advantage of our low prices. Support is optional (unlike with Digital Ocean) and you have a number of configuration to suit your requirements.

But it gets better. Use the promo code 20PCTOFFVPS at checkout for an even sweeter deal!

Depends, but for a decent shared hosting I can recommend Hawkhost. I host there a few WP sites getting thousands of visitors daily, and even without using any cache plugin they load pretty fast.

HawkHost looks good man. Thanks!


Any others do you recommend?

Yep, Hostwinds! Love them! Their business shared hosting plan can handle much more than VPs with other hosts!

There are a bunch of ways to measure "fast" and "reliable" and it matters quite a bit what you want your wordpress to do.

WebPageTest.org is a well regarded platform for measuring content delivery and getting suggestions for optimizing page load times.

What do you need your wordpress site to do? Where is your target audience? How big is your site going to be (how many pages, images or videos are going into the site)? How often will it be updated, and by who?

While there are things you can do to speed up content delivery with CDNs and using caching, there are some frustrating limitations to wordpress when it comes to a scaling and reliability, but it's easy to set up and to teach people how to use it.

I have found the bitnami wordpress images on the AWS marketplace are pretty easy to work with, and they've got a version to replace MySQL/MariaDB with Amazon RDS if that helps you tackle the problem of scaling for mammoth amounts of content or the hassle of tuning your database: "WordPress Multi-Tier with Amazon RDS for MariaDB".

Bitnami Wordpress is also an option on Azure and Google Cloud Platform. You can speed things up a bit by throwing more memory and cores at the problem, but you can really only overcome latency by getting your server/content close to your audience.
