Are you growing out of shared web hosting or just looking to upgrade to a better web host? In case you have not heard about this by now, BlueHost has a plan for WordPress bloggers, there optimized Hosting plan made for WordPress and shared web hosting that is very good as well. This is not a cheap plan however if your blog is growing large with high traffic, then this is the perfect package for you. Look under the “Hosting” tab to view this plan. (they run specials every now and then)
Starting out at $19.99 a month, this is a great deal for what you get. When you look at this package, you will know why it’s valued so high. If you want speed, security, and room to grow, then this is the WordPress package for you.
BlueHost WordPress Hosting Specs
You might be thinking: “why should I pay $19.99 a month for VPS web hosting for 1 blog?” One big reason is that you will not be on a crowded server with other blogs. On a shared web hosting, if one blog has a huge spike in traffic, then it could affect other blogs hosted on that same server as more resources will be directed to that huge traffic. VPS hosting gives you a lot of room and on a less crowded server. Here is what you get with the BlueHost specialized WordPress Hosting plan:
There are 4 different plans to choose from, this is the cheapest plan that I am blogging about.
WP Standard
- 100 Million visits/month
- 30gb Storage
- 30gb backup storage
- 2gb memory
- 1 domain
- 1 IP Address
- money-back guarantee
- enhanced Cpanel
- sitelock CDN
- security – sitelock pro
- free ssl
To give you a better idea of the features and plans, take a look at these images.
Deeper Look Into Hosting Specs
You will be on a powerful VPS using the latest technology & WordPress caching plugin such as Advanced NGINX architecture, Custom PHP-FPM configuration, and Integrated caching by W3 Total Cache. Listed below in the image are some details about the features you would have on any WordPress Hosting plan through BlueHost.
Remember you get 30gb backup storage which is a lot of room. There is nothing complicated to know, they have tutorials and 24-hour support to answer all your questions or help fix problems that may arise.
Shared Web Hosting
There is nothing wrong with shared web hosting. The only thing I can tell you from experience is do not get the cheapest package available. It’s not worth it and when you blog gets popular, you will run into major problems. The Prime package is perfect for a long time till you start to get thousands of page views then you must upgrade to Managed Hosting or the pagespeed will be a huge factor. Here are the packages as I’d choose the Prime one as the features are plenty.
Choosing a web host is the most important thing you can do when starting a blog or running into issues with your current host. BlueHost is for blogs that have a good amount of traffic and will certainly grow big. You have plenty of room to grow for years to come.
BlueHosts Security
The biggest thing with any web host is what kind of security protection would you receive with your account. We trust our blogs on any web host to be secured and not have them hacked or the server crashing and all the data gets lost. BlueHost does a great job when protecting their clients’ websites on their servers. You get SiteLock Pro Security, advanced CDN, plus other security measures.
Just $19.99 a month for all of this. There is a lot more to know about this specialized web hosting from BlueHost. Visit their official website and read the details. A successful blog starts out with a very good web host. Don’t forget to ask pre-sale questions to the support team.
Check Server Status In Real Time
Some web host don’t even have this feature I’m about to mention but if you think you might be having an issue and it’s related to BlueHost, you can check and see for sure if it’s a hosting issue or not. If not, then the issues is related to WordPress and then you know where to start to figure out the issue.
