Best Wordpress Hosting

[hillierre]

GoDaddy is horrible and they are not as helpful when help is needed for changes, fixes with site.

HostGator is awesome for hosting and customer service. I can be on the road, call in and they fix it immediately for me. Godaddy's response --- "Sorry, we are not allowed to do that for you."

GoDaddy's cheap accounts are hosted on Windows, and you have no access to the server to do 301 redirects, etc.  There's also some kind of caching so changes might not "take" immediately.  Overall it's a real pain, and not Wordpress-friendly at all.

Well, I don't believe even Amazon will help much about it. There are certain vulnerabilities inherited with Wordpress, php that helps hackers to intrude. And when you add extensions, it adds.

I suggest you get proper penetration testing, and remove those vulnerabilities. And you can run your blog on any reasonable shared host without any issue.

Wordpress and PHP both have inherited vulnerabilities that help intruders. And When you add extensions, it adds. For Security, only Host can not do any thing.

Either, you make a penetration testing from some reasonable security company, and you will get save from 99% of amateur attacks.

Or make your Wordpress installation always updated, and use as less extensions as possible.

Its better to use some backup plugin, and keep on taking daily automatic backups. So In any such case you can instanlty bring your site back to life.

I am using http://me.wisnetsol.com for last 3 years, and never get hacked.

What sort of penetration testing? Any suggestions for places to do this?

HI Christine

Even i have many issue with godaddy and so as with hostgator, lately i am able to find a data center in India named as CTRLS,

these guys are very focused on just one business that's hosting, nowdays i am having 3 VPS with them, its little costly, but definately worth every penny i have spent.

just google for them

** Please note i am not trying to promote them by any means NOR receiving any benefits from them ******

WPengine is by far the best host for Wordpress in 2012

I just moved my sites from Hostgator to Media Temple...I saw an increase in search traffic w/ in days of the move for what it's worth.

My vote goes to WPEngine as well. Great people there.

Have been very disappointed with Bluehost.  LOTS of downtime in the last 6 months.
