More and more users are betting on having a small blog on the net and the process is becoming simpler. WordPress has become the most common CMS to create websites or blogs due to its simplicity. So much so that over 50% of the websites that we can find on the net are based on it.
Perhaps the biggest problem is finding a server that offers us good quality and features. We must be aware that not everything goes, that we must look for a solution that is reliable, secure, with good support and guarantees. According to the reference website Hostcupon.com, the best solution is Webempresa and it is, although it is not the cheapest service. Perhaps to start we have other cheaper alternatives, which we will talk about later.

Aspects to take into account for a WordPress hosting
To have a good website we need, in addition to Wordpress, good hosting. This must offer us high quality features and be fully compatible with this CMS. We must take into account the following aspects when choosing hosting:
- Anti-Hacking Rules: We must choose a hosting that has good and solid security policies. Sneaking onto our website can be a real disaster.
- Daily backups: This field depends on the use we make of our website. If we are going to upload content from time to time, with once a week or every other day, it may be enough. If we are going to upload a lot of content, the minimum would be once a day.
- PHP 7: It is important that you guarantee us the latest version of PHP to have the best loading speed on the web.
- Specialized support: It is essential to have someone who has solid knowledge to solve all doubts.
- Cache system: Having your own cache system is something quite important to take into account.
Comparison of the best hosting for Wordpress
Webempresa
Undoubtedly this is the best hosting service in Spain and it began to offer service since 1977. They are characterized by offering specialized hosting service in Wordpress, Joomla and Prestashop, so we will be covered in luxury. They offer specialized hostings for each of the solutions, covering the needs of the different services.
One of their strongest points is that they offer 24/7 service. They always have people on call to solve any need, doubt or incident. The service is completely in Spanish, so this is a great advantage over other services.
Something very interesting is that the company sells storage only on SSDs. It may seem not very relevant, but the read and write speeds of an SSD are infinitely better than those of an HDD. They also offer us physical cores of a CPU, not virtualized cores (vCPU), which can involve several machines running under the same processor core.
Perhaps the biggest drawback of Webempresa is the prices and is that the most basic pack, the 'Home' offers us 1GB of SSD, 60GB of transfer and free domain for € 79 / year. It is not very expensive, but the amount of storage, depending on the use that we are going to make, can be a bit fair. Storage or transfer capacity can be expanded, but at a corresponding extra cost. The advanced pack offers 4GB of SSD, 240GB of transfer and free domain for € 249 / year.
Raiola Networks
If we are looking for an economic alternative we have Raiola Networks, although with certain limitations. They also differentiate between Wordpress, Joomla and Prestashop. Safety is one of the strengths of the company, which also takes it very seriously.
The downside is that none of the plans offer a full processor core and only offer 1024MB of RAM. The storage is better than in Webempresa, offering for the most basic pack 5GB of SSD and up to 100GB of transfer. The domain in this case must be acquired independently.
SiteGround
It is a very powerful alternative that is growing in popularity due to its good performance and affordable prices. Siteground also really like because it has native Cloudflare CND integration, which is very interesting. The problem is that hosting limits us in visits and that can be a problem in the long run.
The StartUp service that offers us 10GB of space and a website limits us to 10.000 visits per month. The GoGeek plan offers us 30GB of space and up to 100.000 visits. It offers more advanced solutions such as the Entry plan that offers us 1 core @ 3.0GHz with 2GB DDR3 for € 38 and the most advanced plan is 4 cores @ 3.0GHz and 4GB DDR3 for € 112. It's not one of the best solutions in the world, but it's pretty good.
banhosting
We are the one we currently use and the solution that, for the moment, best suits our needs. They are professional, fast and any questions or problems are solved in an instant. Perhaps the biggest problem is that the service is only offered because they are Americans.
Their biggest advantages over the rest is that they offer unlimited SSD space and unlimited transfer. We also have the plan that we can host as many websites as we want and we also have a fixed IP, which is an additional $ 2 per month.
Sered
The worst option you can buy today. The technical service is of very low quality and as they are only resellers, their possibilities are limited. Normal hosts have shared IPs, many marked as spam, which is a problem at the positioning level. They also do not offer physical cores, they are virtual and shared, so those with high traffic will have a problem.
We had to run due to constant drops in the web, indicators of CPU usage 100% constantly, etc. We also had major issues with Cloudflare failing to communicate properly. Come on, a full-blown disaster, we are looking to have IP in Spain, but in the end we give up. Dedicated IP costs € 10, much more than other services.
