Hosting for WordPress site?

[Caracas88Participant 1]

Hi All,

I’m sorry if I post it wrong section. I’m an IT guy for 26 years and I’m programmer for many years. I have .NET background and now I’m looking for new hosting that support ASP and also hosting my wordpress site. I look at hostforlife.eu hosting plan and I see that their plan is matching my requirement and also my budget.

I just want to ask, is there anyone here experience with their hosting services? Thank you

Yes sir. We can certainly help you. However we don’t support ASP. Is there a particular reason why you would want to stick with ASP? PHP is the industry standard – especially for WordPress. This website’s CMS (content management system) is driven and managed by WP, built on a WP framework – made responsive for mobile using Bootstrap 3.2 – and the intelligence is all done with PHP.

We can certainly set you up with a website you can manage and control and we can even do it FOR you. This is our “living” and we work with some very major brands. What you are requesting are all services we can provide… including design, development and advanced interactivity… even motion graphics and visual effects. Contact us anytime and we can arrange a chat. Thank you for asking.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Hi KeyMaster,

Thank you for your reply. Actually my main domain require asp.net to work, then I want to create subdomain (blog) as wordpress site. So, I require windows hosting. Have you offer windows hosting? I have chat with hostforlife sales team previously and they offer both asp.net and wordpress. Their plan is also interested. Have you ever experience with them?

No experience with them directly, but we do have experience with other hosting services, and don’t generally prefer them. Depending on your budget, getting a service where you have your own stand-alone server on a fast pipe – which you can manage right down to the power outlet – is always best. When you use a shared service, there are many conveniences – but also limitations.

For example, for a recent real-estate client on a window’s box, we ran into a problem where they limit the number of files in a folder. The (windows)system only allowed 50,000 files to exist and there was a cap on the total number of files allowed. For a real estate site, 50,000 files like images and directories is nothing, and it can fill up very fast. It was a serious problem. Configuration and things like ASP support is not the last consideration… there are other limitations beyond that. We also ran into a space problem and there was no deep level root access or remote access to the power outlet.

We also needed to do advanced server side image manipulation … to resize and recreate images, and to install a certain version of PHP and software like ImageMagic. This was not possible either. So a hosting service may work for you, but doesn’t work for us. So we created our own “hosting service” and some others piggy back on that. Mostly clients who don’t want deal with (or understand) any of that server bulls~~~.

While this may not be a requirement for you, it was for us. So based on what you’ve said, I can’t really recommend what’s right for YOU (only you would know that). But I would recommend a stand-alone box every time. You can find something like this for under $200 a month. A hosting service may only be $30 a month, but the limitations don’t make that possible for us. Hope this answers your question.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.
