Hostkey offers competitive pricing plans for WordPress hosting servers. You can count on free and high-quality support, increased server security, and fast operation of applications and tools.

In order to choose the right web server for WordPress, pay attention to the following parameters:

Price. If you choose WordPress hosting based only on price, then you may find that expensive options may be worse than cheaper ones. Carefully read the characteristics of tariff plans before purchasing.
Server response speed. Always research WordPress web server hosting hardware used on site. RAM, processing power and dedicated disk space play a significant role in the fast functioning of your website.
Technical customer support. One of the key points. Always choose a resource that has several basic communication methods. We would recommend the following set: online chat, phone number and ticket system in the control panel.
Control Panel. A control panel is always provided to work with WordPress server hosting. Some sites have their own, but third-party ones are also used, for example, cPanel.
Location of data centers. The closer, the better — this rule should be followed when choosing the location of server equipment. If your project and target audience are from the same country, then you should choose the same country as the location. The proximity of data centers will allow you to instantly receive a response to any problem.
Hosting type. It can be virtual, VPS/VDS, or a dedicated server.
