WordPress is one of the most popular web hosting platforms in the UK. It’s easy to use, affordable, and highly customisable which means that for most small to medium businesses, it’s exactly what’s needed. At Catalyst2, we offer managed WordPress hosting, which means you can sit back and let us do all the hard work for you.

Why is WordPress so popular?

WordPress is used by around 20% of all websites across the world, which is a phenomenal amount. Websites that are relatively simple, and don’t need huge amounts of customised tools and data forms, are perfectly suited to the WordPress platform. WordPress sites are easy to secure, easy to adapt to a variety of needs, and relatively cost-effective to host. It’s also optimised for search engines, which means the chances of your site ranking well on Google search results are good.

If you’ve decided that WordPress is the platform you want to work with, it’s time to choose your host. You can create and manage your own WordPress site directly, but for busy business owners who aren’t technically minded, this can be a time-consuming task that carries the risk of downtime and technical problems. By choosing managed WordPress hosting, you can be assured that your WordPress site will reach its full potential.

Do you need managed WordPress hosting?

Managed WordPress hosting isn’t for everyone. It’s a relatively cost-effective way to outsource a lot of the work and upkeep of your website to professionals, which is why so many people choose managed hosting. But for some people, managed hosting is not the right decision.

If you like to feel in control, and you don’t like the idea of entrusting your website over to someone else, you might prefer to opt for unmanaged hosting. This keeps all of the decisions surrounding your website in your hands, though it will also require that you have some technical knowledge, and perhaps experience of using similar content management systems or hosting platforms in the past.

If you’re unsure, it can be worth looking into managed hosting while you find your way around WordPress yourself and discover whether unmanaged hosting is something you might feel ready for in the future.

What are the benefits of managed WordPress hosting?

Managed WordPress hosting offers plenty of advantages over trying to manage your own WordPress site single-handedly. Managed WordPress hosting will save you time, not just in terms of the set-up of the website but also in terms of daily maintenance and updates. Your WordPress host will also take on other tasks, such as scanning your site for security threats, as well as taking care of performance optimisation to ensure your site is always running smoothly.

On the more technical side of things, WordPress hosts can also configure your server to ensure all of your website’s needs are met, whether you’re on a VPS or a dedicated hosting plan. Staging sites can also be set up to perform tests before content changes and updates are made, and finally the support that your WordPress host offers from the sidelines – answering questions and concerns you might have about your site – can also be invaluable.

What is the best WordPress hosting?

When you’re looking for managed WordPress hosting, there are a few key factors to consider. First of all, consider that different hosts will have different definitions of the word ‘managed’, and it’s worth asking plenty of questions to see what’s included in the package you’re being offered by your potential new host.

– Will your provider manage updates and site backups for you? This is tedious, time-consuming work, and something that most customers will want to look out for when shopping around for a WordPress hosting provider.
– What kind of website speed does your provider offer? Do they know how to optimise your site for performance, which in turn could be the difference between visitors staying on your site or leaving after the first laggy page loads up?
– What security precautions is your chosen provider taking? Your provider should be transparent about the measures they take to ensure that your WordPress site is secure from threats and cyber-attacks.
– Is your provider willing to set up and manage a dedicated server or VPS for you, if this is something you’re looking for?
– Does your chosen provider have experience working with WordPress? Many hosting providers work with lots of different platforms, so it’s important to make sure the provider you choose knows their way around WordPress. Do your research, and ask them about which WordPress plugins they have experience working with to ensure your site is in good hands.
– What level of customer support is your provider offering? If you’re new to WordPress and not sure what you’re doing with it yet, having unlimited support is invaluable and not something to be overlooked.

Ultimately, the best WordPress hosting for your business will depend on what you’re looking for in your WordPress site and how much technical hand-holding you’re going to need – as well as your budget. The benefit of WordPress hosting is that it takes the stress and worry out of running a website; if your provider isn’t doing that for you, it might be time to look elsewhere.
