Web Hosting
Web Hosting covers the decisions involved in choosing and managing hosting for a WordPress site — comparing shared, VPS, and managed WordPress plans, pointing a domain at a hosting account, migrating a live site to a new host, setting up professional email on a custom domain, working with cPanel, and understanding what genuinely separates hosting tiers well enough to pick the right one at each stage of growth.
Hosting is easy to underweight during an initial build, because the gap between a cheap host and a genuinely reliable one isn’t obvious on day one. It tends to show up months later — in slow load times, unexpected downtime, or a support team that takes days to answer something urgent.
