If we had known WordPress was going to be as popular as it is now, we would have made sure to buy some stock back in the day, assuming the company was public. That being said, nothing is hotter than the content management software right now, especially for bloggers and news-based websites.<\/p>\n

\nAnd why shouldn\u2019t it be? WordPress makes it incredibly simple to manage, produce, and distribute content on the Internet through your site. And at the heart of things, that\u2019s really what the Web is all about, right? Here are some stats about what people do on wordpress:

\nPhilosophical pander aside, though, there are a few things you\u2019ll want to really look for in a web host when you\u2019re shopping for WordPress compliance. In fact, if you don\u2019t snag just the right features, you may find your CMS blog in high water before the ink is even dry on your contract. With that in mind, here are a few of the top features you want in a web host with WordPress in mind, as well as a few quality places to find WordPress hosting, beginning with:<\/p>\n

In-House WordPress Transfers.<\/strong> Often times, we see webmasters start a blog on the traditional WordPress site, only to suddenly find their content inundated with fans and adoring readers. If you\u2019re in a similar boat, and are looking to make the swap to a truly dedicated domain and website, you\u2019ll want to be sure of a few things. First and foremost, you\u2019ll want to be sure your new web host can directly transfer your domain from WordPress, establishing it as a proprietary DNS. From there, you\u2019ll also want to ensure they can port most (if not all) of your content. You worked hard to create it, so why should you have to leave it behind on that old, stuffy WordPress blog? If your new web host can\u2019t help you with your baggage, it\u2019s time to shop more.<\/p>\n

Speed and Performance.<\/strong> On a similar note, if you\u2019re swapping your old WordPress account for a dedicated number\u2014or even if you\u2019re just starting from scratch\u2014you\u2019ll want to find a web host that offers totally comprehensive performance and top-notch hardware. WordPress is a lightweight web application, but you\u2019re still running an additional software engine over the server\u2019s operating system. This requires processing power, and if you go with an anemic web host, you may find your blog is no better off with a dedicated location than with your original WordPress spot. And besides, signing to a web host is like buying a new car. If you have the money, why not spring for that souped-up model that packs a real punch? Get the most bang for your dollar and look for speed in a web host.<\/p>\n

Easy Installation.<\/strong> Lastly, you\u2019ll want to be sure your web host can provide an easy WordPress installation for your site. A good web host makes this a one or two click process, max. If your web host instead wants you to do a long string of complicated terminal commands that may jeopardize the entire system, it\u2019s time to move elsewhere and cancel the contract.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s by no means a survival guide for WordPress shopping where web hosts are concerned, but instead of talking about finding a web host until the cows come home, we thought we might instead offer up a few of our choice suggestions. Beginning with:<\/p>\n
