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.

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.
