Hosting – Your choice is super-important!
I have worked with many hosting companies over the past dozen years or so. What have I experienced? Slow sites. Routinely being placed on hold for the “next available agent” for over an hour when I need support. Inexperienced or unhelpful support techs. Websites being “down” for unexplained reasons for unknown lengths of time. Cumbersome admin areas. Troubleshooting hosting issues for hours and hours. Worrying about getting hacked, etc.
So, I was very happy when a hosting company with dedicated services for WordPress websites specifically, finally arrived on the scene with dependable, affordable hosting options for my own websites and my clients.

PRO TIP: Please don’t host with your designer (that includes us!) Hosting with a large, third-party, established, dedicated, highly-rated company is much safer for your business in the long run, has fewer vulnerabilities, and lets you CONTROL your account and who has access to it. WPEngine only does WordPress Hosting – no domain names, no email, nothing else. This is their mastery and why we use and recommend WPEngine.
