If you are looking at hosting a WordPress website, I suggest you use a cPanel. At first, a cPanel may seem intimidating but once you learn the basic, hosting a WordPress website is so much easier. Another benefit is you have control over everything and you don't have to wait for support to help you out.

Welcome back to Casey's SEO for today i just wanted to discuss um something i was doing over the past weekend and i was i was just trying to deploy a couple more websites, um and i was trying to use some different hosting services. I will say that it did not go very well now. I have tried this in the past, but for some reason i always pick cpanels, and i did not do that this time. Well, i guess i really didn't look to see if they offered a cpanel, and that was my mistake. So what i have found is once you get used to a certain way of doing things.

It becomes very, very easy like, for example, if you're going to host a a WordPress website on a cpanel to me is very, very simple: all you do. Is you log into the cpanel? You add your domain depending on where your domain is registered. You may be using the name servers from that cpanel or your server there or you just take the ip and you're going to point it to that hosting provider. Very very simple, then you're going to go like all the way down on the page you're going to click.

You know one click install for WordPress choose your domain hit the button fill out your username and password and boom you are done. It is that simple, but with some of these other hosting providers, where they don't offer a cpanel, i just find it very, very difficult to do, and i spend 10 times as long trying to figure out how to even point my domain over there or put put My domain onto their hosting and then try to match them up and deploy a wordpress site. It's just it's very, very challenging, then sometimes they're they either have email service or they don't and then, when they do, you have to go to like nine different other pages. To find it, i don't recommend it for me if you want something that you have more control over and you want to deploy, you know, maybe multiple websites, whatever it is, i would definitely choose a cpanel like i said, all you have to do is go to A hosting provider sign up, it will deploy your cpanel for you. You click on that button.

You go in. You can add your website, you can scroll down. You can then add your WordPress if you're going to use WordPress, there's folders or icons in there for email. All you do is click on them, add your name and what domain you're going to put it on, and then you have everything right there, plus the other benefit for me of using a cpanel is, let's just say you upload a plugin or you have a plugin That kind of crashed and your back end is not working or you can't get into it. You can go back into that.

Cpanel go to your file manager. Click in your contents, folder find your plugins find out what plugin it may be and, let's just say you just uploaded a plugin and it doesn't work. So you know exactly what plugin plugin it is. Go there change the name, go back see if it works. If it works, you know you have a problem with that.

Then you can go ahead and troubleshoot with that plugin to see what is going on and it's very simple with some of the other hosting providers, or maybe it's just a WordPress hosting you don't have that option. You have to go back in contact. Customer support figure out the issue, but it's going to be on their time, so you may get your website back up in 30 minutes an hour who knows, but for me i can go back in. If i already know what plug-in it is, i can go back in and it will take me five minutes and then i can start over, but i have that control to go ahead and do that. But that is just it for today wanted to fill you guys in on some hosting a couple different options and which one i prefer, if you have something that is not cpanel, that is very, very easy to load up a WordPress website.

Please let me know - and i will definitely check that out so that is it for today and I'll be back soon with another episode.
