Why WordPress Hosting is Still Crucial for Bloggers

As a blogger who wants to make money from your stories, choosing the right website hosting is one of your most important decisions. Your website host helps ensure a seamless and efficient blogging experience. WordPress hosting is specifically tailored for the platform that started as “just another WordPress blog.” It offers a range of benefits that can enhance your blog’s performance, security, and overall success.

Imagine your blog is a house; your hosting is the foundation on which you build it. With WordPress hosting, you’re not just getting a generic hosting solution; you’re investing in a platform designed specifically for the unique needs of your blog.

Would you rely on a Honda dealer to maintain your Porsche? Of course not. Don’t rely on shared hosting to care for your profitable WordPress blog.

Don’t have hosting? Are you using a blogging platform? On top of the backend benefits, WordPress hosting also has an advantage over private blogging networks. PBNs were once used in SEO to boost rankings through links from authoritative domains. However, Google penalizes PBNs as an unnatural link scheme. Google encourages focusing on high-quality content and white-hat link-building for sustainable growth.

“(PBNs) can improve your SEO particularly quickly but come with certain risks because your website can be penalised at any time and then suddenly drop in the rankings. SEO is good, but only if you don’t resort to dodgy tactics.”

WordPress Optimizes Your Blog’s Performance and Speed

One of the main advantages of WordPress hosting is its optimized performance. Why is this important for your blog? If you want to have ad revenue, you need users. You also need ads on your site. Those ads take a major hit on your site’s performance.

“Many factors can slow down your blog, from plugins, to hosting issues, to – you guessed it – ads. Yes, ads slow down your website.”

Managed, performant hosting wins hands down over shared hosting in speed, security, and support. Why? Managed hosting solutions are configured to handle the specific requirements of WordPress; they ensure faster page load times and a smoother user experience.

Slow-loading pages alone can impact your blog’s success. No one likes to wait. People are far more likely to abandon a website that takes too long to load. Performant hosting enables your blog to load quickly, keep your readers engaged, and reduce your bounce rates.

At the end of the day, people who spend more time on your blog are more likely to engage with you and your affiliate links. Modern, performant WordPress hosting makes you money!

Google loves blogs hosted on Rocket.net. Faster-loading websites are rewarded with improved search engine rankings. You can help your blog rank higher with WordPress hosting. At the same time, you achieve better Core Web Vitals scores by providing your visitors with the best user experience possible.

“Don’t forget people working on your website. Don’t forget your own time. How much time do you spend working on a website? A lot longer than 5 minutes, right? A slow website can kill your productivity.”

Scalability and Resource Management for Your Growing Content

As your blog grows in popularity it attracts more visitors. More people means more demand for resources. Bandwidth, storage, and processing power increase with each user.

WordPress hosting offers scalable solutions that can accommodate the growth of your blog. Growth is what you want, right? Ensures your blog remains responsive and accessible, especially during periods of high traffic. Additionally, managed WordPress hosting offers resource management tools that allow you to monitor and adjust your resource allocation as needed.

Enhanced Security for Your Website and Your Readers

Security is a critical concern for any website, and WordPress blogs are no exception. If you want your blog to be a business, treat it like a business. WordPress hosting providers implement robust security measures to protect your blog. Potential threats including malware, hacking attempts, and other cyber attacks are covered. How? Regular malware scans, firewalls, and automatic updates to ensure your WordPress installation and plugins are always up-to-date with the latest security patches. These are security features that you don’t have to think about. Focus on your writing and we’ll focus on the hosting.

Rocket.net hosting offers a solid WordPress security package:

Proactive Protection

Malware Scanning & Removal

Unlimited Free SSL Certificates

While we’re talking about security, what about AI content? How safe is that for your blog’s UX and SEO?

AI content is easy and convenient, it saves time and money. Why not use AI content for your blog? This raises the question: should you hire a content marketing agency for your own content needs? The short answer is an emphatic yes – probably more now than ever before. (Plenty of writers hire editors and ghostwriters.)

If you care about your website, there are many ways to use AI tools effectively. AI can help you create better outlines, find keyword gaps, and optimize what you already have on your site. Constantly improving your craft as a website publisher means leveraging any tools available to become a better writer. Being a better writer makes you a better content marketer. After all, you’re a blogger, right? Keep on testing; keep on learning!

Seamless WordPress Integration: You’re a Blogger, not a Programmer

On the other hand, many bloggers set up their own websites, and hey, your blog may be all about PHP, right? The ease of WordPress means that you can spend more time programming examples for your readers. Bonus: you can also spend zero time programming if that’s your thing!

WordPress hosting solutions are designed to integrate with the WordPress platform. This gives you a streamlined experience for managing and maintaining your blog. Many hosting providers also offer user-friendly control panels and tools specifically tailored for WordPress. Raise your hand if you just want to write and not teal with installing, updating, and managing your blog? We see you.
