A menudo se pasa por alto que el alojamiento web es una de las características clave para gestionar un sitio web. Encontrará numerosos alojamientos web gratuitos en foros web que le ofrecen sus servicios a cambio de banners publicitarios, o puede encontrar alojamientos web realmente baratos que requieren un compromiso a largo plazo, y luego están los servicios de alojamiento web caros. Como principiante ya sabe que necesita alojamiento web para ejecutar WordPress, pero ¿qué requiere WordPress? ¿Qué especificaciones necesita? En este artículo te ayudaremos a analizar y elegir los mejores alojamientos web.
¿Qué especificaciones requiere WordPress?
Le sorprenderá saber que WordPress es un script muy ligero y compatible con casi todos los alojamientos web. Los requisitos simples que WordPress pone son:
- PHP 4.3 o superior
- MySQL 4.0 o superior
- El módulo de Apache mod_rewrite
De hecho, la mayoría de los alojamientos linux vienen con WordPress preinstalado, así que no tendrás que preocuparte acerca de lo que WordPress requiere.
Aspectos a tener en cuenta al elegir un servicio de alojamiento web
Sus necesidades
Como hemos dicho antes, WordPress es un script muy ligero para una cuenta de blog normal, no necesitarás un servidor dedicado. Así que no lo contrates. La mayoría de los mejores sitios de alojamiento compartido ofrecen ahora recursos ilimitados, así que aprovéchate de ello. Eso es todo lo que realmente necesita. Pero si por alguna razón, usted termina yendo con un servicio que no ofrece especificaciones ilimitadas ¿qué vas a hacer?
Tienes que evaluar. Cuánto espacio necesitas en la web. Un sitio de WordPress puede funcionar bien por debajo de 100 MB de espacio. Si usted está ofreciendo descargas, y el alojamiento de sus propias imágenes, entonces usted necesitará más espacio.
Evalúa el ancho de banda que utilizará tu sitio. El objetivo de todo blogger es llegar a la página de inicio de Digg y otras redes de medios sociales. Cuando lo consigues, recibes mucho tráfico. Entonces, ¿cuánto ancho de banda deberías contratar? Empieza con poco y actualízalo cuando sea necesario. No tiene sentido pagar más por algo que no vas a utilizar en los primeros meses. Una vez que tu blog empiece a tener influencia en el sector, podrás hacer una actualización.

Except Hostgator all the famous unlimited shared hosting doesn’t provide quality and speed hosting.
Try jaguarpc, stablehost, knownhost, , if you need cloud then you may opt for Eurovps
ArunNagarathanam says
For wordpress, you should also see, whether they support Litespeed or NginX server. APC or eAccelerator for superior performance
KaloyanBanev says
Reliable web hosting is always important not only for WordPress websites. It is good that WordPress system requirements are minimal and can be hosted at almost every shared hosting package.

hosts101.com is another reliable free web hosting company also provid free domain with paid hosting, I have been using their business hosting with free domain since 2008.I think they are pretty good.

I had some problem like this with Hostgator in 2007. Suspended my account due to excessive activity with the only way to get the site and my e-mail functional was to upgrade to a much more expensive plan.
Their support could never tell me what activity on the site was excessive, only that my account was in that state. My website, on a great day, pulled in maybe 200 visits, but typically in the 75/day range, back then.
I can’t in good faith direct people to Hostgator with the customer service they provided in that incident.
Marsha says
Thanks for the host recommendations! I really appreciate the work you do here. Your tutorials are very helpful.
Jay says
I would recommend hostgator to all my readers at anytime. Definitely one of the best.
Carlitos says
Yeah but you need to move when you blog is bigger, I’ve a blog with 100k in daily hits, thats almost 3kk a month, I started with a small host then I had to purchase 2 servers for a better performance, im paying around $1700 a month to my host providers.
Editorial Staff says
When the blog grows of course the shared hosting won’t last and the users will have to buy servers and so on. But how many new blogs do you know that gets 100k in daily hits? This article is to help beginners.

Since the domain registrar and web host I’ve used from the beginning, Network Solutions, was one that you recommended for registrar, I was surprised to see that you didn’t likewise include them on list of recommended web hosts. Curious if there’s a reason why you don’t include them here, or if you’re just trying to spread the recommendations around to more companies that meet your criteria for the different roles. Thank you.

We have to keep our numbers limited, so it does not seem like that we are recommending just everything. We are only recommending services that we have used in the past and have worked with. We will also be updating this list in the near future, but Network Solutions will not be included regardless because we do not have enough experience with them in order to recommend them. The reason why we have them as domain registrar recommendation is because we have had plenty of experience with their registrar services.

Actually, I disagree that WordPress is a lightweight script. I am a HUGE advocate of WP, and have used it to build countless blogs for clients as well as several full-fledged content-management systems. I’m also a hosting provider, and I can tell you we’re not along in having lots of trouble with WordPress running too many inefficient queries too frequently. You MUST make sure your host is familiar with WordPress, has a very high end machine with tons of RAM (4GB minimum) if you’re in a shared hosting environment, and PLEASE discuss their policies for memory/MySQL usage “violations.” All these hosts offering “unlimited” everything obviously don’t mean that — they don’t expect you to be using any resources, which most sites don’t — but if you do, they’ll suspend your account. There are lots of horror stories of low-traffic blogs getting shut down by hosting providers because certain WP database queries are hogging precious server resources.
I’m so glad to see this guide site up, though — I can’t wait to show it to several of my clients! Thanks for the terrific resource!
Darren Nickerson says
I think hes just saying that the script itself doesn’t take up much server space, so if you just wanted it for simple blogging you wouldn’t need unlimited space and bandwidth, but if you wanted to host a lot of images and videos you may want unlimited everything.
