{Starting Your Own Blog} :: HostGator Optimized WordPress

July 30, 2015 by Briana Carter

Thank you HostGator for sponsoring this post. HostGator is your go-to web hosting provider.

{Starting Your Own Blog} :: HostGator Optimized WordPress

Many people want to start their own blog but don’t know how to get started. I started my blog over 8 year ago without any knowledge of how a website worked. Since I started BargainBriana.com, I have learned so much about html, blogging, and social media. Do you want to start your own blog? Recently, I started another blog called Totally Travel Tips and I had to go through the steps of creating a blog from scratch. I put together the steps on how to start your own blog that I learned from this process. Some of you may have your blog up and running now, which mean it is time for some site optimization and maintenance.

Huh? You mean I can’t just start a website and then forget about it!? Well, you could but without proper updates your site may not run efficiently or could be at risk for security flaws. Trust me, you don’t want either one of these issues. I’m thinking I didn’t do any optimization on my site for a couple of years when I first started. Yikes! Plus, I was running my site on a host that wasn’t proficient in the needs of a WordPress hosted website. It was a recipe for disaster and it probably cost me pageviews and readers by not knowing how to optimize my website.

Know Your Stuff: The Newest WordPress Optimizations

If you are just starting out or are looking for a new hosting platform, check out Optimized WordPress, which is anew hosting platform that is specifically built for an optimized and managed WordPress environment. Optimized WordPress hosting packages will come pre-loaded with PHP 5.6 by default (the most recent PHP version offered). HostGator will handle all of the core, theme, and plugin updates without the need for any action on your part.

Basically this means, you won’t have to worry about logging into your WP-Admin panel to handle common updates. This gives you more time to focus on writing and editing your awesome content instead of spending unnecessary time on website maintenance issues.
