I would like to start a Wordpress blog on a shared hosting server. Anyone would like to recommend a few companies? Do a search on google for the term "hosting review" and all you get is garbage. I know many try to push their affiliates on DP as well, but I think I have better chance at getting good info here than anywhere else. Thanks for reading.
There are way too many hosts that will gladly and effortlessly host a WordPress blog, most have them in a one-click installer as well. Do you have any other needs, like are you targeting a certain country? How much space/bandwidth do you think you'll need? I'd say find a host you like and go with them, test their support, check for reviews, find out if they offer expandability (say you need to upgrade to a VPS, for example), etc...
Thanks for all your recommendations. So far based on my research, Hostgator seem to be recommended by most non-affiliate like Don and htaccess. I'm sure I'll get more recommendations by tomorrow.
Apart from Hostgator, there are few good hosts like Bluehost, DreamHost etc etc but HG's service is best and i am using it too
You should go with hostgator only. You will get the 1st month in just $0.01. Its the best. Even i am using it for my wordpress blog. - Digital -
HostGator and If you are on a nice budget then also have a look at shared hosting plans on LiquidWeb.
I think Powweb can be very good option as they provides you cheap hosting compare to hostgator and you will have unlimited space over there in just 3.88$/ Month so check out
It seems absolutely everyone here is in love with HostGator/oversellers, hope you all know it's a false marketing tactic. I'm not discounting from HostGator, but have some color and diversify your suggestions!
I dont think so they are over seller. Bcoz i never faced any CPU usages problem from there servers, as compared to my older local web host... !!
