WordPress Hosting
If you want to start your own website it is also important that you research beforehand which CMS you want to use.Most people will choose WordPress and matching WordPress hosting.
It is also important that you know exactly what you need and what is involved.In this blog post we will go through what you need to consider when choosing the right party.
What do I want on my website?
Not only does choosing the right hosting depend on the price but also on what you want to have on your website.For example, it is important that you do not spend too much to save costs.
If you only want a blog for example, then MijnHostingPartner.nl always has enough for you with a standard total package.If you want more extensive features such as a WooCommerce webshop then you are better off with a SSD package.
This has to do with the fact that with WooCommerce you have to load a lot of files.This also makes it a lot heavier and for this reason it is better to always take SSD hosting.
Maintenance
One important thing that many people forget is to maintain their website.This has to do with the fact that WordPress is a sensitive system and therefore needs to be maintained properly.
Think mainly about updating your website, plug-ins and the accompanying theme.Often your website will not only be faster but it is also much safer.
This is mainly because in these updates often security leaks are fixed.This prevents malicious people from abusing your website.Therefore it is important to keep this up to date.
These updates can take a lot of time if you want to do this yourself, so we have an alternative solution for this.This is Managed WordPress hosting, where every update is performed automatically.
Another advantage of this package is that your website is placed on an SSD disk.This way your website will always run at optimal speed so you don't have to worry about that anymore.
backups
Maintaining your website includes making backups.It can always go wrong and then it is useful to have a backup of your website.
If it should happen that you accidentally delete an important file you can immediately restore it.This way hardly anyone will notice that the website has been offline for a short time and you can continue immediately.
You can easily backup your files via FTP by dragging them from the server to a local folder.Through PHPMyAdmin you can also save your database locally so you don't lose the important information of customers and visitors.
We always recommend backing up once a week if you change your website often. It is also smart to backup everything before applying changes, this way you can restore everything quickly.
Nowadays it is even possible to backup everything online thanks to our new partner.This way you can easily make an Online backup of all your website data.
security
Besides updating your WordPress website, there are also other things you can do to make your website more secure.Think for example of hiding your admin page, this can easily be done by using a plug-in.
You have the possibility to set the admin page to its own link.So you get instead of /wp-admin for example /MyHostingPartnerAdmin, so you make it for malicious people a lot harder to find the page.
Another thing you can do against unwanted login attempts is limit the number of login attempts.When there are multiple login attempts on 1 account this account will be blocked and you will get a message about this.
