The Best Hosting for WordPress

Your  WordPress Hosting

There is little that is more frustrating than a slow website.  All of our web development for SEO leverages the ultimate WordPress hosting, WP Engine.  Especially with the majority of people experiencing brands online on their mobile devices, your brand is represented by the speed of your website.  In addition, search engines are now looking at website speed as a ranking factor, so having a blazing fast website host is critical.

WP Engine

Our number one recommendation for super fast and full featured hosting is WP Engine.

The do periodically run specials – mostly if you pay for the full year up-front you can get at least one month free.  Usually more.  Here is the current annual promotion:

What is Included with WP Engine

To have your website served from the fastest possible hosting, which includes a security certificate (to make your site HTTPS as opposed to HTTP), coupled with daily backups, staging and production environments and even includes a CDN, we now exclusively use WP Engine for our hosting.  All WP Engine accounts INCLUDE a security certificate so your website displays on HTTPS.   Google is making it well known that having a “secure” website is a certain ranking factor; in 2018 Google Chrome started warning users when they surf to a website that is “not secure”.

Signing Up for WPEngine Hosting

Upon signing up, if One Click SEO is powering your website, please forward us the login credentials as they are emailed to you.  We will then add ourselves as a Technical User on the account and add your username and password to your Credentials File.

Unlike many other SEO agencies, that have you pay THEM for your hosting, One Click SEO wants YOU to own your hosting account.  Although profitable for the web development company, you should own your hosting account as well as your domains and website.

Kinsta is an Alternative

We have also had great experiences with Kinsta  for hosting.  They are a tiny bit faster than WPEngine and provide a more detailed interaction with the details of your hosting.  If you have a more complex WordPress install, Kinsta may be a better option than WP Engine.  Although blazing fast and from the web developers perspective, provides more details into your hosting environment, it is not as user friendly (for the average business owner) as WPEngine.

Signing Up for Kinsta Hosting

Kinsta and WPEngine ultimately offer the same services:  SSL, CDN, Backups.  Kinsta provides a deeper dive into your hosting account and would be welcomed by developers while WPEngine is super easy, from importing a site to backing up and restoring a site.
