I receive questions about web-hosts almost daily.For those not aware of the term- Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server. You will have to sign up for web hosting services if you’re planning to start your blog on WordPress.org. As a blogger + blog designer, I understand the importance of using the services you can trust. I know it might be very tempting to go with the cheapest option possible, but you should definitely do some research before you sign up. Let me tell you why I think your blog success directly depends on your web host.

1. A great web host can bring your site better loading speed.

2. You will sleep better at night knowing that your blog is safe

3. If they provide 24/7 customer service support, you will always have a friend to rely on. Seriously, I even turn to my web host representatives for business tips.

4. If your plan includes auto backups- you won’t need to export your content every week (or even day) in order to stay secure.

5. Choosing the best web hosting for your needs can improve your SEO. Scoring high on search engines depends massively on the uptime/downtime on your servers, so choose wisely.

6. It can improve your sales. Speed is a number one factor when it comes to getting more sales, make sure your web host is willing to work with you on this.

7. A good web host will allow you to grow which means even if you start on the smallest plan, they can always offer more space, more support, more services etc.

8. It won’t ruin your reputation during your blogging journey & your readers won’t need to experience unfamiliar spam links within your blog.

9. A great web host will always inform you about any possible downtime or errors, so you’ll never make up from tweets saying that your readers are not able to reach your blog. Make sure you enable your email notifications tho.

10. A truly good web host will take care of you. Period. It’s like having a parent of your blog to cure all your problems.
