Startup<\/strong> & may be the most appropriate if you’re just starting your digital enterprise & you’re not too sure how many visitors your site will get.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOther shared hosting plans increase the resources such as CPU, RAM, disk & the number of domains you can host on the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s look at some of the more important hosting resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nStorage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is the amount of space your plan has in order to store the files necessary so that your website works correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New WordPress sites generally don’t need more than 1-2GB of storage space to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, you should be aware that as your site grows (e.g. you add more content, plugins, comments, etc.) more storage space is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nBandwidth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is the amount of data measured in GB that can be sent or received to or from your website, this is directly linked to the visits to your site & the content they are viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nSSL Certificate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In 2019 the Chrome web browser implemented a new feature that highlighted whether a website was using a secure SSL connection with the visitor or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, just about every web browser available does the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your website doesn’t have an SSL certificate installed this discourages visitors & also negatively affects your search engine positions in Google, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All Farbyte shared web hosting plans come with a free SSL certificate for every domain you add to the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uptime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is the time measured as a percentage of the month that your website will be available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, this is even more essential than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Downtime not only loses you potential clients, but Google now penalises websites that show poor uptime by dropping them lower in the search engine results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Farbyte, all our shared web hosting plans are deployed on our own highly available hosting infrastructure with industry-leading uptime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Backups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
These are essential for any website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without backups, you run the risk of losing all the hard work you put into developing your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Farbyte we provide daily backups for all our shared website hosting plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, we keep a copy of these backups for 4 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you can restore to any daily backup for the last 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SSL Certificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At Farbyte you shouldn’t ever need to instal an SSL certificate for any domain you host on our shared WordPress hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We automatically provide a Comodo SSL certificate for each & every domain you add to your Farbyte hosting plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, in order to install the certificate, your domain must be available on the internet, so ensuring your domain nameservers are correctly configured to use our hosting service is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After you sign up for our hosting service you will receive a detailed email instructing you how to set up your domain’s nameservers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you registered your domain with us during the hosting plan order, our system automatically sets your domain nameservers to the correct settings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An SSL certificate can take up to 4 hours to be added to your domain, but it’s normally added in less than 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your domain hasn’t received its certificate after 4 hours, please open a support ticket with us & we’ll ensure your certificate is properly deployed & installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Installing WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Finally, we come to the end of this guide & proceed to install WordPress quickly and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every Farbyte web hosting plan comes with over 350 easy application installation wizards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To install WordPress using the wizard, simply login to your cPanel account & go to Softaculous<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFind the WordPress<\/strong> option & click on Install Now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the window that appears next, you must complete the following fields:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
