When you are about to purchase a hosting for WordPress you will have to know about the features that are included in the package, try to pay close attention from the beginning because, a wrong choice, in the future, could cause you many problems and waste of time, especially if you have noticed that you made a mistake and then you will want to move your whole WordPress installation to another hosting.

The first point to keep in mind is that you are purchasing a Unlimited web  hosting so a large “tot” webspace will be shared with hundreds of other sites and this is fine (better with a dedicated IP address), at Fire Zodiac signs personality least for the beginning of your project

If your project will need more “power”, that is, a  Cloud hosting with more professional features and functionality, you should choose a hosting that allows you to do so without having to migrate WordPress to another hosting, therefore with the possibility of upgrading from shared hosting to semi-dedicated, dedicated, VPS or cloud hosting.

The  most important features of wordpress hosting:

There are  most important hosting features listed  that you should check are included in the package that you are going to buy and that should make you choose a Managed WordPress Hosting not only based on the price offered but also according to the functions included :

1 – Assistance (via phone / chat / email)

 2 – Control panel. (Plesk or cPanel)

 3 – PhpMyAdmin panel.

 4 – Automatic daily backup (Webspace and Database)

 5 – Being able to create unlimited sub-domains.

 6 – Being able to create unlimited databases.

 7 – Unlimited space and bandwidth. (which do not exist)

 8 – Possibility of upgrading to higher packages.

 9 – File manager.

 10 – Supercache function.

 11 – Rewriting htaccess files.

 12 – PHP.ini Customizable.

 13 – Uptime guarantee.

The support service:

The first feature I listed is assistance, if you are about to buy a hosting for WordPress this point is fundamental for any situation in which you may have problems, having  Pisces Love Horoscope support assistance always available avoids you losing hours and hours in the search for a problem, perhaps while your WordPress site is no longer functional.

For this point, at least as regards an Italian wordpress hosting, forget who knows what service, almost all of them never reply via chat or skype and if they answer it is only for commercial questions.

This, along with many others, is one of the main factors that drives many people to choose web hosting for WordPress abroad (especially Americans), who offer assistance via telephone and via chat 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, a completely different world and if you are interested you can read the article where I speak about hosting WordPress abroad.

 

 

The control panel:

The control panel is precisely a panel where you can manage all the features made available by the hosting service, you will have a panel where you can manage all the files on your site, an application to install WordPress with two simple clicks, manage DNS, manage backup and much more.

For this important point, almost all the hosting and certainly the ones that I recommended at the bottom of this article, have conformed and provided or control panel called cPanel or Plesk.

 

 

The PhpMyAdmin panel:

The PhpMyAdmin panel is used to manage, create and configure all the databases, it is practically a second specific control panel for the management of the databases that are mandatory for the use of WordPress, you can manage all the databases present directly from this panel.

 

 

The backup service:

If you are not very practical or do not want to waste time doing a backup of wordpress, or you just want to have one thoughtless, the automatic backup function is absolutely to be kept in mind, too many times it happens to read on various forums of desperate people who they seek help because they had big problems at the site and didn't have a backup, don't end up on this list too.

Pay attention to when you buy because some hosting still do not include this option in the price 

 

 

Unlimited domains:

As you have already guessed we are talking about sub-domains and this is also a good function, you may need it for many things, maybe when the site will grow you will want to create sub-domains for specific areas of the site, or it could also be useful for creating a DEMO version of the new site you want to create directly “online”.

This possibility is always provided by almost all hosting services, apart from those you from zthosting

The file manager:

This feature offers the possibility to manage all the site's files directly within the hosting control panel and will make you independent of other external programs, even if using an FTP program like Filezilla is certainly more practical.

The function is now omnipresent in any hosting service.

 

 

The Supercache function:

This function is used to store all the pages of the site and then be able to finish them on the browser which in turn makes them display to the user who navigates your site statically, that is, without having to reload the site pages each time.

The cache function cannot be missing, it is one of the most important functions, so choosing a hosting for a WordPress site with this function will save you from having a slow WordPress site.

 

 

Rewriting htaccess files:

The possibility of rewriting the htaccess file gives you the possibility to manage advanced and customized functions for the management of the Apache server that works in sync with WordPress, another fundamental point if you want to configure particular functions of your site. Take a look at the countless and important features you can use with the WordPress access file.

 

 

Php.ini file manager:

You will need the php.ini file to manage the PHP server and some shared WordPress hosting services do not offer the Astrology in Life possibility to modify it, the file allows you to manage scripts and other important functions and that is why it should always be customizable.

Sometimes this function is available not, some hosting services do not provide because they encounter too many problems due to a few people who are experts in its use and the mess is rampant.

 

 

The uptime guarantee:

I spend two words for uptime, also known as SLA (Service Level Agreement), which in a nutshell is the percentage of guarantee that the hosting service guarantees for the “execution time” of a server that should be taken into consideration …

I should say because as much as a shared hosting can guarantee a high uptime in the order between 98% and 99% within a month you will always have downtime to the site, that is, you will always have the site, then hosting / server “unreachable” at least half an hour or an hour within a month.

So it is a factor to consider but that does not influence much in the choice of hosting for WordPress, also because for all shared hosting more or less uptime are almost always all the same.
