WordPress Hosting Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is WordPress Hosting?
WordPress hosting is a type of web hosting that’s designed specifically to optimize WordPress websites for speed, performance and security. It pays special attention to WordPress’ technical and security requirements and usually offers a simple, 1-click WordPress installation or migration.
Every website you’ve visited is hosted on a server, a place to store the files comprising the website you see. WordPress Hosting from GoDaddy uses servers modified to ensure WordPress websites run smoothly. We also take care of pesky software and security updates so you don’t have to. Our WordPress Hosting is the perfect solution for anyone who wants the power and simplicity of WordPress without the hassle of managing technical adjustments. And of course, our award-winning support is available 24/7 to help with any questions you may have. -
