GoDaddy WordPress Hosting FAQs

WordPress is one of, if not the most used publishing platforms for blogs and websites. It has overwhelmingly become the industry standard for creating websites and powers nearly 30% of all websites online today. As an open-source content management system (CMS), the platform allows users to create everything from small sites and blogs, to large corporate websites in a user-friendly and convenient environment.

WordPress hosting is a hosting plan that is specific to the needs of WordPress websites. With GoDaddy WordPress hosting, servers are modified to provide the speed and security that a WordPress site needs – settings not normally configured right out of the box with other types of standard hosting plans.

Because of this, you are able to spend less time on the technical aspects of your hosting, and more time focusing on your actual website. It’s a great option to easily build and manage a WordPress site or blog, coupled with the security and reliability that you’d expect from your web host.

For a more extensive overview and deeper dive into this topic, view our article: What is WordPress Hosting?

While everyone’s needs are different, if you are planning to build a WordPress site, then you should at least consider signing up for a GoDaddy WordPress hosting plan. With these plans, you don’t need to handle the installation of WordPress on your own. But even if you know how to do this, there are other benefits including automatic updates and overall ease of management. Moreover, if you’re someone who simply prefers to minimize management of the technical aspects of your hosting, then GoDaddy WordPress hosting might also be right for you.

Technically, no. GoDaddy WordPress hosting specifically is not a requirement in order to set up or run a WordPress website. However, you will need some sort of web hosting in order to have and run a WordPress site.

With that being said, if you’re planning on building a WordPress website, then GoDaddy WordPress hosting would be the first recommended option. The reason being is that it optimized specifically for the requirements and needs of WordPress sites right out of the box. It is crafted and configured in way that is meant to not only make managing your site easier, but also help improve the performance of your website overall.

While other types of hosting can certainly be used, other types are not made just for WordPress only. In contrast, WordPress hosting is. That’s why it’s the first choice for many when building with WordPress.

The main difference between GoDaddy WordPress hosting and other types of web hosting is that it is made for WordPress specifically and is designed in a way to easily set up and manage your website. With other types of hosting such as shared hosting, VPS hosting, or dedicated server hosting, while you can run a WordPress site on them, they are not meant for WordPress sites only. In addition, they don’t necessarily cater to the specific requirements and needs that WordPress sites pose out of the box.

Designed to simplify site management, with Managed GoDaddy WordPress hosting, tasks related to optimizing server performance are all handled for you. In turn, this creates a hassle-free solution when it comes to making sure that your plan is always optimized in a way that provides the best performance possible for your site. There is no need to concern yourself or fumble around with common maintenance tasks the are usually associated with running a WordPress website.

As a result, this helps to free up more of your time to be able to focus on actually working on the content of your site and marketing it, versus having to deal with technical server related aspects. And because your GoDaddy WordPress hosting is being managed under and optimized server environment, you can rest assured that your site has the resources it needs to ensure faster load times and better performance overall.

Technically WordPress, itself, is free. But what is not free is the web hosting that is needed in order to install and run WordPress. The cost depends on the plan tier that you select, as they range in price. Choosing the right hosting plan does come with some benefits, however.

For instance, with WordPress hosting, you don’t need worry about installing WordPress yourself onto your hosting account. That’s because it already comes installed with your plan. In addition, anytime there is a core update available to WordPress, your software will be automatically updated. This way you are always using the latest version and don’t have to worry about things going out of date, or having to make manual updates. If you’re wanting to build a WordPress site without all the hassle of lengthy set up and maintenance, GoDaddy WordPress hosting is the way to go.

Pricing for GoDaddy WordPress Hosting depends upon the subscription plan you sign up for and ranges from $8.99 per month to $24.99 per month. Here are the prices for each standard plan:

In addition, we also offer Pro WordPress Hosting plans which are primarily designed for developers and professionals who require the ability to host 5 or more websites. These plans range from $20.99 per month to $59.84 per month. These plan options include:

Yes, certainly. If you are wanting to migrate an existing WordPress site to our hosting, we can actually handle nearly all of this process for you. Just follow these few simple steps to automatically move your WordPress site over. You will receive an email confirmation once your site migration has completed. Easy as can be.

It is not. It’s the same version that you would get from WordPress.org. However, the way it works is that when you first sign up for a GoDaddy WordPress hosting plan, the latest version of WordPress available is installed on your hosting plan. Then, whenever an update becomes available and is released, your WordPress version is automatically updated to the newest version.

Like all software, new versions are released from time to time with enhancements or to address bugs and other security related fixes. WordPress works in a similar fashion. Updating to the latest version ensures that you are running the most secure version of the platform and not a compromised or vulnerable one.

As part of your plan, you are given access to hundreds of pre-built themes, specific to your industry. Themes are designed to make setting up your site simple, while looking very professional.

When setting up your site, you simply select your industry type and choose from a number of different templates that suit your style. With these themes, you have the option of using a drag-and-drop editor, so you can create and customize your site to be exactly the way you want it. Change colors, fonts, photos, or anything on your template that makes your site unique to you or your business. You can always change your theme at any time later if you decide to.

No, you will not. That is of course, if you don’t want to. One of the many convenient benefits of GoDaddy WordPress hosting is that this is all taken care of for you and handled within a managed hosting environment. So, there is no need to fumble around with any of the technical aspects of server management. The moment you sign up with a plan, you are good to go and can start creating your website or blog right away.

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce plugin that is available for WordPress sites. It is used primarily for online merchants who want to sell directly from their WordPress site. As a well-known plugin for people who want to create an online store with WordPress, it’s an ideal solution for many. With our eCommerce plan, WooCommerce comes automatically installed in your WordPress website, so you’re ready to start adding products and selling from your website right away.

Look, we get it. When it comes to your choice for a WordPress hosting service, you have options. And quite frankly, lots of them. But what separates GoDaddy from other companies is their genuine commitment and dedication to their customers success.

In terms of WordPress hosting specifically, GoDaddy handles everything from automatic WordPress installations, to automated backups. And with GoDaddy managed WordPress hosting solutions, you will never have to worry about the performance of your server, as this is all taken care of for you.

In addition, 24/7 dedicated expert support is available any time of day or night to help you along the way. Lastly, a 99.9% uptime guarantee is standard with each plan.

At the end of the day, this is a decision you will have make when building with WordPress. But we will say that with Managed GoDaddy WordPress Hosting, you’re going to receive some benefits and advantages that you just wouldn’t get right out of the box with other types of shared hosting plans. Among those include having a hosting provider that looks after your WordPress installation, automatically takes care of updates, and regularly takes backups of your site, just to name a few. Moreover, with managed GoDaddy WordPress hosting, your server will be optimized in a way that is specific to WordPress requirements.

What other benefits does Managed GoDaddy WordPress hosting offer?

  • The ability to scale as your business or website grows
  • Better performance and speed overall
  • Access to dedicated support that is specific to WordPress

If you’re not interested in handling the technical details of server management on your own, or simply prefer a solution where platform updates and technical matters are taken care of for you, then Managed GoDaddy WordPress hosting is going to be the way to go.

With that being said, shared hosting does have its own set of benefits to it. Generally, lower cost, ease of use, and the ability to meet basic hosting needs for website building are usually common reasons why customers would select that option. The only thing to consider is that other types of web hosting are not necessarily built for WordPress sites only. Whereas Managed GoDaddy WordPress hosting is.

Getting started with your new GoDaddy WordPress hosting could not be simpler. After signing up, your hosting plan will automatically be connected to the latest version of WordPress. All you need to do is log in and your site will be waiting for you to edit right from your control panel dashboard.

There are a couple of ways you can access your WordPress website after signing up. The first way is that you can simply log in to your customer account and then select WordPress from your products page. From there, you can select to edit your site, which will then take you into your WordPress dashboard where you can create and edit your site.

Alternatively, you can type in your website in your browser’s address bar, followed by /wp-admin (i.e., “your-website-name”.com/wp-admin) which will then take you to your site’s log in screen. From here, you can log in to your site with your WordPress username and password.
