WordPress Hosting
Where to host a WordPress site, what it really costs after the intro price, and how much server it needs. Our WordPress hosting guides use measurements from real WordPress sites: response times of sites on Hostinger shared hosting and memory use of WordPress on our own VPS.How to choose: for one or a few small sites, a managed WordPress or shared plan is the cheapest and easiest. For many sites, heavy WooCommerce stores or custom caching, a VPS gives more control per dollar. Read best WordPress hosting, Hostinger vs Bluehost and how much RAM WordPress needs.
