Simplicity and speed are a solid pairing, and when someone chooses to go with WordPress for their website then simplicity immediately becomes part of the picture. If that’s a business website then one thing that any digital marketing expert will tell you is that page load speeds are very important for your website’s SEO optimization, but a WordPress website isn’t necessarily going to be speedy by default. Whether or not it is will depend on the type of web hosting it’s on, and it is for this reason that managed hosting is often going to be the best choice for any business. Count on 4GoodHosting for the best WordPress hosting for Canadian businesses if speed and optimized performance is a priority for you.
In the bigger picture and for any type of business this will be about having the best online presence possible, which is a pressing need nowadays given the way that most of the time people will find a retailer or service provider online and the first impression you make with them will be by and large determined by your website. Not just the appearance and function of the website itself, but also how well it ranks with search engine results. In fact, that part of it may be more important than anything else because when people make searches they very rarely go any further than looking at the first one or two pages of search results.
SEO for a website is an entirely different subject and a very large one at that, and so we’ll stay on track with our blog entry subject here and only talk about enhancing user experience with fast hosting Canada.. If you have a WordPress-built website there are many advantages to having web hosting that is tailored for that type of website, and there are several reasons that will be contributing to a growing online presence for your business and greater numbers of people coming to your website and becoming aware of you and your business.
The last part of that there is what it is always about, and with this week’s blog entry we’ll detail all of those reasons and ideally convince you that managed WordPress hosting is almost certainly the way to go if you want your business website to be a real difference-maker when it comes to getting any new business of the ground faster than would be the case otherwise. It’s only one of many factors that will go into that, but it is a big one and these days few people if any are going to need to be convinced of that.
Expectant Would-Be Customers
It’s nothing new that would-be customers have plenty of choices when it comes to a provider, and it’s almost a guarantee that you’re not going to be the only one who is in your business in the same vicinity. The internet is a vast information resource, and if people can’t get a particular piece of data from one place, it’s not going to be difficult for them to find it somewhere else. All too often when a website doesn’t load quickly enough, those site visitors will leave and make their way to one of your competitors’ websites.
So yes, website page load speeds are important and they will be loading faster if you have web hosting that is designed for WordPress websites. That will also be true for VPS hosting in Canada, but we’ll stick with only discussing WordPress hosting for this week. The importance of a great user experience is something of note for search engines too. A faster website will be higher up the results pages and more likely it is to attract users’ attention. Alternately poor loading speeds can be a serious setback when trying to build and grow your business. The web hosting service you choose to go with is going to factor into your website’s overall performance, and so the plan you choose to go with should not be underestimated.
Go with shared hosting for the site and you will be saving money on your monthly expenses with this stuff, and that will sound good to a lot of business owners. Fair enough, but be aware that there are going to be real shortcomings with shared web hosting for a website. The better affordability is based on the way hosting providers can situate dozens of shared hosting accounts on the same physical server, so the price can be kept as low as a few dollars per month. But that does nothing to make it the best WordPress hosting for Canadian businesses.
When so many sites are drawing from the same hardware resources there isn’t going to be consistent performance, especially as your website starts gaining traction with users. Plus there’s also the way that everyone on the shared server uses the same IP, and its reputation could be affected by actions outside your control. VPS hosting in Canada will be better, but most VPS hosting services offered will be a better fit for Linux-built websites and not ones that have been built on the WordPress framework.
With a managed WordPress hosting arrangement you will have most of the same benefits that a standard website would have with a VPS. All the software you need to build your WordPress website is pre-installed, and your host’s support specialists have configured the VPS for maximum security and performance. To be fair though, the one aspect of it where you won’t have the same type of advantage with web hosting for WordPress sites is with scalability. Businesses that have the likelihood of significant growth in the near future will want to keep this scalability capacity in mind. It may be best to go with a VPS from the get-go as you can choose precisely how many CPU cores and GBs of RAM and storage space you’ll get.
Reliably Faster WordPress Hosting
When considering all of this it is helpful to remember that WordPress powers more than a third of the internet, and as such there’s no shortage of demand for WordPress hosting. The fierce competition has all sorts of providers claiming that they offer the ‘fastest’ hosting service for WP sites and the type that is most ideal for enhancing user experience with fast hosting Canada. Be skeptical of any such claims, and what’s true in most instances is that with managed WordPress hosting you will have reasonably faster page load speeds plus other advantages that make the overall package a better fit. At least compared to only relying on the faster page load speeds and enhanced security that will come with the more expensive VPS options.
We can now move to looking at managed vs. Self-managed hosting. A managed account is the go-to solution for most people and this will involve your Canadian web hosting provider being responsible for setting up and configuring the server so your website can enjoy the best possible loading speeds. This frees up time for you to focus on your website and at the same time leaving the tricky system admin work to people who have years of experience and are proven capable with doing that type of work.
You’ll probably also be benefiting from a Content Delivery Network too, and having one incorporated into your Managed WordPress hosting package can be an effective way to boost your website’s performance, and especially if it makes sense for your business to target a global audience. Some CDN providers partner with hosts and offer tools for easier implementation. With others, you simply need to change the nameservers or add a DNS record. Make sure you’re familiar with the process before buying a hosting account. A reputable and experienced web hosting provider is going to be one that has helped thousands of WordPress sites get off the ground, and they are more likely to know how to configure their servers for the best possible WP performance. That’s definitely us here at 4GoodHosting, and our Managed web hosting services are as good as you’ll find anywhere.
Look to us for the best WordPress hosting for Canadian businesses, and we encourage you to compare our offers there with those made from other providers. Choosing a fast hosting service for WordPress is more complicated than just comparing price lists and picking the provider that offers the most powerful servers. The availability of hardware resources needed for your website will need to be factoring into your choice too, along with the complexity of the website and the expected traffic volumes.
It’s usually the case that business owners with WordPress websites quickly come to see that paying more for a managed hosting option is going to be best, and the fact that every responsibility for managing the website is taken off their plate is something of the cherry on top. Every one of them will be looking to get the most bang for their buck, but there are other factors to consider, like the optimization techniques the provider has used to speed up their servers. We can state with full confidence that is a part of what we do here, so if you want to have a fast loading website you will do well to choose us as your Canadian web hosting provider.
