Why is WordPress hosting needed?
Why is WordPress hosting needed? You need a company to connect your WordPress to the internet pipes. The service listens to calls for your site’s domain from anywhere in the world and delivers the website to the visitor’s browser. The solution to making all of those steps happen is a WordPress host. There are many forms of hosting.
Should I pay for hosting on WordPress?
If you want a professional site, it’s worth paying extra for quality. Even if you’re on WordPress.com, if you upgrade from the free plan, you’ll end up paying for your hosting at the end of the day. If you ask me, paying for hosting and having the freedom of running your own site is a better investment.
Can I run a website without hosting?
Well, the short answer is yes you can build a website without hosting. However, if you are a beginner I would not recommend it, as setting up your computer to work as a hosting server can be very technical.
Can I use WordPress with my own hosting?
They’re actually two separate entities: WordPress.com offers a hosted (or “managed”) version of WordPress with a limited amount of control and themes. It’s free with paid-for addons. WordPress.org lets you install your own version of WordPress on your own hosting.
