Let's talk WordPress hosting and development

Announcement posted by pepperit. 15 Oct 2021

Great! You’ve started a business and need to start a website. You’re thinking about creating a WordPress website. Now what?

 

WordPress is Open Source, free and extremely popular. To use WordPress, you need a computer (or a server) to host your website. You can either set up and configure your own server to host your website – or you can pay a hosting company to host the website on your behalf.

 

When it comes to WordPress hosting, one of the most commonly asked questions is around cost. Why would you have to pay for managed WordPress hosting Australia when you can simply run your own server to host your website?

 

Websites are vulnerable! By design, they’re public facing and accessible by anyone. As such, the software -- or core -- of a WordPress website, and any additional third-party plugins you might install, need to be kept updated to protect it from malicious attacks. Just like a security update on your phone or computer protects your tech devices, these updates are essential to patch vulnerabilities that can allow attackers in.

 

Professional WordPress hosting Australia manages all the typical plugin updates, core WordPress updates, and other security features to give you peace of mind knowing that your personal or business website isn’t susceptible to hackers or nasty bugs.

 

Put simply, can you afford the downtime and lack of professional support of a malicious hacker or attack?

 

Now that you’ve got your hosting sorted, it’s time to think about WordPress web development Sydney. A WordPress developer will help you with everything from creating new pages, on-page SEO reviews, increasing website speeds, plugins, and more.

 

Having a skilled development team who are adept at designing and developing for sites on a range of platforms and content management systems, is extremely useful for anyone - new or old to WordPress.
