5 WordPress Hosting Solutions We Recommend (And 5 We Don’t)

1. Do: WPEngine 01:17
   • Tim’s preferred hosting platform.
   • A hosting solution that focuses just on WordPress, with many built-in features.
   • Managed solution, which is more expensive, but you get a lot of value.
2. Don’t: BlueHost 02:22
   • Though it is more affordable than other platforms, it comes with many problems and vulnerabilities.
   • It is a shared hosting solution, meaning that you will share the hosting with other users on the servers.
   • This could slow down your website and also puts you at risk of being hacked.
3. Do: A2 Hosting 03:15
   • David’s preferred hosting platform.
   • Another premium hosting solution like WPEngine.
4. Don’t: HostGator 04:10
   •  Same reasons as BlueHost.
   • Tim started out on HostGator and had several experiences with getting hacked, even with very secure site settings and plugins.
5. Do: SiteGround 05:00
   • Highly recommended hosting solution in the Divi community.
6. Don’t: 1 and 1 05:20
   • Has low server specifications, which will cause many problems for your site, especially if you sell products.
7. Do: Flywheel 05:53
   • Similar in a lot of ways to WPEngine, but targets designers specifically.
   • Another managed hosting solution.
8. Don’t: GoDaddy 07:19
