Reliable and good wordpress hosting is a necessity for professional bloggers. If you are setting up your first self hosted blog with paid hosting or then just searching for more information on setting up a blog – You will need a domain name + a good hosting company as a minimum. [Updated March 2016]
Google will give you both good reviews and bad reviews for hosting , but you yourself need to know what you actually need to start a blog – Like Do you need email forwarding, do you need a Free domain name, are you looking for a CMS website.
A newbie blogger can make do with good shared hosting whihc is quite cheap to start with and more popular blogs with high traffic possibly need a dedicated hosting or VPS service.
Unfortunately, If you search for Word press Hosting on Google – you will pretty much get bad reviews on each and every webhost out there, that is providing a wordpress hosting service. It is difficult to get a 100% genuine review that proves that a particular web-host ticks all the boxes.
99.9 % Uptime for wordpress hosting Guaranteed, Really!
I have now been in the blogging game for many years and gone through quite a few hosting providers. I still currently use Bluehost , Dreamhost, Hostmonster and now go daddy and they have done well, but with many ups and downs over time.
To my good or bad luck I just signed up for go daddy wordpress hosting and a week later happened to come across heaps of reviews saying it is very bad host for wordpress hosting, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.[update – I am still using godaddy now 11/07/2016 and it is still a good choice for beginner niche websites]

I was deciding between Hostgator and godaddy when I went to go daddy website saw their 99.9 % uptime guarantee and took the jump. Lets see how it goes i will keep you posted
Broken promises on wordpress hosting
Bluehost has had its ups and downs over the years, but currently I am quite pleased with my bluehost account.
For that part I have also had issues with Dreamhost and Hostgator but not in the last couple of years- So that is going good, All of the top hosting services have now upped their game and is providing good hosting service and customer support.
I have been with each of these hosts now for almost 7+ years now.
In the meantime if you are looking for a “wordpress host” that is comparatively reliable than the rest its worth going with Dreamhost, they have been much more reliable than the other hosts I have currently.
Let me know if you have been hosting with hostgator as I am curious to get some feedback before i get my next hosting provider.

So far, my experience with Hostgator has been great and I hope that this review helps you decide the hosting plan if dreamhost or hostgaor. whateva best works for you
Ive had problems with blue host with lots of downtime. Support most of the time don’t have a clue what’s going on by giving different reasons all the time why the hosting was down. They give you plans with unlimited domains hosting and bandwidth and then when your site is down and blocked they tell you you have used too much CPU ,in spite if just having a few blogs running on the hosting server.
Blog hosting at blogger is best but bluehost is al a o good
Dreamhost is crap..dont even think about it.. hostgator and bluehost are okay
Dude Ive been reading a lot about hostgator and some of my friends have hostgator hosting .
But i am thinking about bluehosta speople tell me they have faster servers after their upgrade ,do you have any deals or discount link for bluehost
thanks

hey man
i cant suggest hostgator Over bluehost as i use both ,tho i can say that i like the bluehost backennd/admin panel much better than hostgator as its much more user friendly. Its your choice in the end and you can switch hosting providers ..if you not pleased with any of them..though i would say you wont probably do so once you set your blog up..
Whichever host you go with …. Get at least a 36 MONTH PLAN IF YOUR SIGNING UP .. otherwise you will lose out on the discounted price when it gets renewed after 1 year . Here is my -> bluehost discount link you will get the most recent updated offer by using this
Good luck
