Scan WP has a whole lot of information in it, which could get a bit confusing. With that in mind we decided to create a WordPress resources page which will be a hub to all the top solutions for various types of service you are looking for. Any service / theme / plugin on this page has been personally tested and possibly used by us on a daily basis.

Hostgator

hostgator

Hostgator is one of the veterans in the hosting world. Personally, we have been using Hostgator for some projects ever since 2012.

You can get a great hosting option from as low as $2.88 a month, which is pretty close to FREE. If that amount of money is too expensive, you are simply doing something wrong.

Hostgator has been improving their service lately and have really improved the quality of hosting and even offer a free domain for every new hosting account and FREE SSL.

We have recently started to recommend SiteGround as our top “go-to” hosting company. We even recently added a specific post stating just that. After using SiteGround, reading many Facebook reviews of SiteGround, and checking it out deeper that any other hosting company, we can honestly say that you cannot go wrong with SiteGround.

The combination of amazing speed, quality and customer service have made them our #1 hosting company.
