A wide range of topics and tips related to hosting services,
WordPress and a lot more.
In this quick BGOcloud guide, you will read about three key pillars – WordPress hosting + web security and how to get both of them right with the help of top WordPress security plugins. For the purpose of this article, we will also highlight some of the best practices concerning your website’s protection.
Your domain name is more than just a way for online users to access your website. It is a representation of your business identity. People usually put a lot of thought when figuring out the most appropriate domain name. The goal is to make it easy to remember, quickly associated with what they do, and distinguishable from others. You wouldn’t like, then, to have yours stolen or compromised in some way, would you?
To help you protect your domain, we have tested and gathered 5 best practices and some do’s and dont’s which you can explore in the sections below.
Websites, laptops, tablets, servers, and all other devices that connect to the internet have an Internet Protocol (IP) address that enables them to find and communicate with one another. How would you feel, then, if you had to remember and type longer and newer alphanumeric IP addresses like 2400:cb00:2048:1::c629:d7a2 every time you wanted to go to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or any other website? Not very happy, I presume. But thanks to the Domain Name System (DNS) you don’t have to.
There are more than 1.9 billion websites in the world right now. Did you know this? Which only proves how fast-paced the sector is. To remain among the top-notch hosting providers without risking staying behind with all that’s happening, we’ve packed the best web hosting trends in 2022-2023 that such hosting providers (must) follow.
Accessibility, reliability, and speed – these 3 things seem to be the key requirements for pretty much anything on the Internet. And especially for cloud-hosted routers. In fact, according to the 2021 Cloud Managed Services Market Size And Forecast, the cloud-managed market that reached $39.83 billion in 2020 will grow to more than $117.65 billion by 2028. What sustains this growth, then, and why cloud-hosted routers like MikroTik keep gaining traction like never before?
To cast more light on CHR (cloud-hosted routers + MikroTik in particular) and show you why they are worth it when creating, routing and securing your very own virtual network, we will look at:
Loading please wait. This is perhaps one of the most frustrating things your page visitor can get. And a frustrated page visitor usually results in a never-again-returning website user. Optimizing page speed, then, becomes business critical.
Things got a bit more complicated especially for web masters and SEO experts when Google rolled out 3 new metrics to its Core Web Vitals update. And as of May 2021, page loading speed became a direct ranking factor for all pages (NOTE: Google first announced that page speed applies as a SEO ranking metric for mobile search engines in 2018).
So, how exactly does the speed of your web pages affect SEO? And most importantly, what does web hosting have to do with it?
If you’re purchasing your hosting plan for the first time, chances are you’re going to need something that will help you manage the hosted services and the servers as well. Which means you must opt for the right hosting control panel that will benefit you the most in terms of dealing with things like databases, tracking multiple logins, SSL, modules or entire apps you want to use, configuring settings for PHP and others.
Consider the fact that you may be a person with little technical know-how, and it all starts to get a little bit messy. It all sounds way too complicated and it could take a lot of time for you to work out the correct settings on your own.
Some web hosting providers deliver a control panel within the hosting plans they offer, while other times you have to purchase your hosting plan and the control panel separately. Which could further add up to the entire web hosting control panel complexity.
Are you puzzled by Web hosting vs WordPress hosting and do you see them as one and the same thing? This comparison article is a must-read then.
The uncompromising digital world requires stable digital presence. Which means you have no other choice but to keep everything online, running, available, and secure. Subscribing to a hosting plan and a hosting service, then, is a must. It sustains your business growth and company and supports your creativity (if you’re a blogger, a photographer or any other type of digital content creator with their own digital space), BUT only when you’ve chosen the right hosting type.
Unfortunately, there appears to be a (somewhat worrying) confusion among “hosting seekers” and even some of our first-time clients when they purchase their hosting plan. And that is their misunderstanding about the difference between WordPress hosting and Web hosting.
Don’t think all hosting plans are the same. There are dedicated servers, shared hosting, WordPress hosting and others. Which poses the question which one should you choose so you get the flexibility and scalability for a fast-growing website?
No one likes a website that has its last piece of original content dating back a year and a half ago. This is a sure way of getting your website quickly forgotten even by its once-loyal visitors. In the information age, there is an abundance of available sources and make no mistake – your visitors will soon become someone else’s if you don’t take the right steps. Besides that, search engine crawlers will not be forgiving to a not frequently updated website. You will soon find yourself in results pages where people just don’t go to.
