Description

One of the reasons that WordPress is so popular is that there are a vast number of hosting options. Some cost pennies a month, some cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. Besides cost, the features of each WordPress host vary enormously—different levels of security, backup services, and other WordPress-specific features may be offered. So how do you know which companies, offers, and features are right for your site? In this course, Joe Casabona helps you navigate the increasingly complex options for WordPress hosting, explaining how to evaluate your needs and how to purchase hosting. He starts with the important core question—what is hosting?—and then runs down critical hosting features. Joe details the different features you may look for if you’re hosting a blog, ecommerce site, membership site, or a mostly static site, and also offers advice on what you should do when hosting multiple sites.

Instructor's Courses

I started my career almost 20 years ago as a freelance web developer before realizing my true passion, to help people grow their podcasts into five-figure businesses. I do that through expert-tested systems that come with 10 years experience podcasting, 15 years teaching, and over 20 years working the web. I back up my 10+ years podcasting with 20+ years experience building websites, and 15+ years teaching. I make $30,000-50,000 every year on sponsorships alone and get 70,000 downloads every month from my show. When I’m not producing and coaching podcasters, you can find me spending time with my family, enjoying baseball, or talking too much about Star Wars.
