  Hello,
  We have a website that is hosted by Monster web currently. cornerstoneconcrete.com and I was wondering if I could get a better hosting company that works well with Word Press. We are revamping our old web page into a WordPress website format and we wanting a hosting company that best fits our format…… Also we do not want to change our web site address. Thank, Luke

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Aloha ldservice101, I would take a look at this page and check the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  If WordPress.com seems like the right choice, you have several plans to choose from:

  If you are wanting to stick with a self-hosted site, here is a page with a couple WordPress.org recommended hosting providers:

  Hi Luke,

  We are revamping our old web page into a WordPress website format and we wanting a hosting company that best fits our format……

  There are two options for a WordPress site:

  1. Create a WordPress.com site. This site will be fully hosted on WordPress.com servers; backups and security are included.

  With this option you can ‘map’ a domain you already own to your site using Domain Mapping:

  2. Create a self hosted WordPress.org site. You can use a hosting service such as Pressable and install custom themes and plugins.

  The differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org are explained here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Are either of these options what you are looking for?

  I’m happy to answer any questions you have.
