    Hello Webmasters,
    Can you please suggest the best & affordable method of hosting a wordpress site. The home page will have about 50 small posts (mostly pics). Is virtual dedicated server hosting any faster than shared hosting? I know dedicated servers are best but are also most expensive. Thanks for help!

    well i am a newbie and this is the first time i am buying a host and hosting my website.. i must say FATCOW is really easy and user friendly... so far i haven't faced any problem in uploading my website to net.. and when i face any problem then they are very helpful... i think fatcow is really good.. may be its too early to say that but i am enjoying my stay with them so far....

    Hi guys,

    Can you answer the virtual dedicated server hosting part of my question? Does the site load faster compared to just shared hosting?

    That depends on the specification of the servers ...

    A Shared hosting server is a very strong server if u buy that urself it will cost u a lot... u can get cheap dedicated servers but the speed and server specs will be low

    i agree with BOHRA..

    godady hosting sucks... i have read plenty of bad reviews for godaddy.. godaddy is good only when it comes to domain registration...

    beside FATCOW you can also go for JUSTHOST or BLUEHOST.. if you want to get discount coupons for these sites you can ask from the forum members.. there are plenty of people in this community who are affiliated to different hosting firms... so iw will become easier for you.. else you can also search google for coupons...

    you can also visit www.hostingsthatsuck.com to get the review about the host you are looking to get associate...

    I agree too. Only domain registrations with them not hosting.

    Shared hosting is fine until the web host over loads servers, then everyone slows down. A VPS is a slice of the overall server resources just for you. In your case shared hosting would be fine until your site gets larger.

    2am Network
    Fatcow
    Aperture host

    If you are looking for hosting a Wordpress blog only with simple text, a cPanel hosting package is what I would recommend. Choose a reliable hosting provider who provides limited disk space and bandwidth with round the clock support which is necessary :)

    All the best!!!

    From my 3 years experience with them, HostGator is the best Wordpress webhost ever. Very Fast with Wordpress
