WordPress Optimised, Ready In Minutes

WordPress is an open source CMS (Content Management System), used by over 400 million websites globally. In fact, it is by far the most popular website builder in the world. WordPress is used by multinational fortune 500 companies and small bloggers alike, due to its huge set of features and tools.

With WordPress you can build a website without any previous web development knowledge. No code required. Images, text, videos and much more can easily be added to your site using a drag and drop builder. What really makes WordPress popular is its versatility. You are able to choose what website builder you'd like to build your site with, what features your website should have and how it should look.

Features most associated with WordPress are plugins and themes. A plugin is a piece of software installed onto your website, giving your website a new capability. The most popular plugins include SEO plugins and performance plugins. Themes are pre-made website designs that you install onto your WordPress instance with one click. Once installed you can edit the theme by changing the color, images, text and even the layout.

WordPress hosting is a web server that's been optimized to run WordPress, in relation to both the hardware and software. Your hosting will also come with WordPress pre-installed and configured with the optimum settings. The reason for choosing WordPress hosting over web hosting for a WordPress site is superior speed, less-hassle and more specific tools.

Every WordPress website on the internet, uses some form of web hosting. Whether this be dedicated WordPress hosting, or regular web hosting. Web hosting and WordPress hosting work by retrieving files stored on a web server, and serving these files to people visiting your site. Whether the website you are visiting is from a big international business or a small blog, the technology used to host the site is fundamentally the same.

A CMS is a system that lets you build, modify and publish content to your website. Without a CMS, you'd need to write all the code for your site yourself. For example, when using WordPress you'll get a front-end user interface to manage your website. The changes you make are then compiled into code in the backend. Put simply a CMS allows someone without any coding or web design knowledge to create feature rich a website.

SSL is an abbreviation of 'Secure Sockets Layer', which is a global standard for encrypting communications between a browser and a web server. Most web browsers require your website to have an SSL certificate installed. You can see if a website has an SSL certificate installed if it has a padlock icon in the URL bar and the link is 'https://' rather than 'http://' (the 's' stands for secure).

Practically, an SSL certificate makes data transferred between your website and its' users unreadable to someone trying to do something malicious, such as hacking. For example, if your users need to fill in personal details when signing up for a newsletter or making a purchase, the data needs to travel from their computer to your website's server. Without an SSL certificate, this data is readable on its journey to the server, however with an SSL certificate, this data now becomes encrypted and is therefore unreadable.
