What Is WordPress and Why Host It with FimuroHost?

WordPress is a free, open-source content management system (CMS). It is written in PHP, stores your content in a MySQL-compatible database, and lets you build and edit a website through a friendly dashboard instead of writing code.

WordPress.com vs WordPress.org

• WordPress.com is a hosted service run by a single company. It is quick to start but limits which plugins and themes you can use on lower plans.
• WordPress.org is the free software itself, which you install on your own hosting. You keep full control over plugins, themes, code and data.

With FimuroHost Cloud Hosting you run the self-hosted WordPress.org version.

Why people choose WordPress

• Easy to use: the block editor lets you add text, images and layouts visually.
• Plugins: tens of thousands of plugins add features such as online shops (WooCommerce), contact forms, SEO tools and memberships.
• Themes: change the whole look of your site in a few clicks, or build your own design.
• Community: huge numbers of tutorials, developers and support forums.

How FimuroHost runs WordPress

Our Cloud Hosting runs on Linux servers tuned for speed, security and reliability, with several current PHP 8.x versions to choose from. Every WordPress site also gets:

• Free SSL (Let's Encrypt) for https://
• A built-in CDN and caching, so you do not need a separate caching plugin
• WP-CLI for command-line management
• Automatic Timeline Backups
• Free website migration if you are moving from another host (just ask via a ticket)

Getting started tips

• Keep WordPress, themes and plugins up to date.
• Install only plugins you actually use, from trusted developers.
• Use a strong admin password and turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) with a security plugin.
• Build on the temporary stackstaging.com address first if your domain is not ready yet.
