Which Wordpress Hosting to choose?

[crusher25]

Hello guys. I'm just a total newbie when it comes to wordpress. I haven't even tried using it but since there are instructions on their site, I feel like I can learn it easily. The company I'm currently working on uses wordpress so I feel like using it too will help me learn. I can also use PHP, Javascript, C, HTML but not an expert. Just the basic knowledge so I also feel like it will help me improve those if I start using something like Wordpress.

So I just want to ask suggestions for a good host for wordpress? Budget is around $5 per month. I've checked the suggestions on the Wordpress.org site but I'm not sure which one to choose. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks.

Why not just use it free on wordpress.com and if you want to go forward then take a premium package out?

But I think there are limitations like this:

"The primary “cons” are that you cannot modify the PHP source code (even “newbies” often discover they want to make a few changes). You can’t upload any plugins, either — though there are plugins available on WordPress.com, these represent a fraction of the “19,000 and counting” available on WordPress.org. Finally, while you can choose among nearly 200 themes, you can’t upload your own — and customization of these boilerplate themes is relatively limited."

For low budget only thing I can think of is godaddy. If I recall they don't use c-panel.

Yeah I was able to check their site and it was okay. Here: WordPress Hosting | Hosting with Unlimited Bandwidth ? GoDaddy

I also checked this: WordPress Hosting Reviews & Comparisons | HostingReview

And I saw that iPage has a huge sale now.

I use - Unlimited Web Hosting UK, Reseller Hosting, VPS, Dedicated Servers

Can't fault them, only £2.75 + VAT month (Unlimited Web Hosting with cPanel or Plesk. Free Domain or Transfer. | Unlimited Web Hosting UK)


As the name suggests, everything is unlimited.
As with most things unlimited doesn't always mean unlimited but i have never hit a limit with them.

Other nice thing with them is there is no contract, you pay every month and cancel any time you want.
