Choosing the best hosting service for your Divi WordPress website can be a challenge, considering that many options are available. It is often difficult to sift through the plethora of available options in the market to choose the best option.
You do not have to worry, though. In this post, we will share some insights into what to look out for when you want to choose a hosting service for your Divi website. Let us get right into the details!
Top Consideration when Choosing a Hosting Service
There are specific requirements you should consider when choosing a hosting service for your Divi site. This will save you a lot of stress on your site development in the long run.
A Managed Hosting Service is Preferable
Managed hosting is quite different from standard hosting because it is optimized for WordPress. Also, it comes with basic but significant benefits, which include:
• Easy Installation: A managed Hosting service comes with easy and seamless WordPress installation, thanks to its numerous tools and features.
• Faster website loading time because the server settings are specifically optimized for WordPress sites.
• Security: You are assured of better security with managed hosting because the security features are WordPress optimized.
• Automatic Backups and Updates: You get to have all necessary updates loaded to your website automatically and content is backed up periodically, which saves the day when your site gets hacked or you experience a site crash.
Choose a Hosting Service that is optimized for Speed
One unique thing about Divi is its intensive theme resource. With numerous theme options and customizability features designed to give you a superb builder, you should expect a pretty heavy site. That means having a great site with amazing features comes at a price.
That is why it is recommended that you choose a hosting service with an excellent track record for optimized speed and good performance. With this, you can expect your Divi website to load very fast and function perfectly. There are different ways that a hosting service provider optimizes for speed. Here are a couple of them:
• Content Distribution Network: A hosting service provider that optimizes for speed ensures that all necessary updates are loaded to your website automatically. It also ensures that the updated data is replicated and backed up on servers in various geographical locations worldwide.
That means that when anyone visits your website from a distant country, the server that is closest to them loads the content of your website and makes it easy for your site to load faster on your site.
• Caching: Caching refers to when a static version of a site is stored on a server to enable visitors to access the site without WordPress going through the long process of retrieving needed data from the MySQL database each time. Hosting service providers that cache your site’s data automatically makes your website load faster.
• Correct Configuration: An appropriately configured hosting server will positively affect the speed of your site. Although this is a bit technical, it is still good to know about it. You can find helpful resources in the Elegant Themes documentation to help you understand how you can set up a hosting server to enjoy an optimal performance with your Divi.
These are three major factors to consider when shopping for a hosting service. Of course, other things influence the speed of your site but these are the most important of them all.
