looking for a hosting company for wordpress [closed]

by

WordPress is extremely lenient to the hosting requirements. It is likely one of the most forgiving CMSes to run on the least capable PHP hosts.

That said there are advantages to some of hosts that specialize in WP. Those that do specialize and not just slap it on as marketing gimmick.

I would put advantages in roughly two categories:

  1. Expertise. Specialized hosts have better awareness of WP as a solution, what it takes to run it smoothly, and keep it secure.

  2. Tooling. Specialized hosts can offer server configuration and features specifically fine–tuned for WordPress, such as object cache backend or reverse proxy.

So while specialized hosts is completely unnecessary, there are some concrete benefits that make sense if budget works out for it.

Personally I highly value reverse proxy feature, since it removes the need for flaky static page cache plugins.
