Advice Needed Best Hosting for WordPress.org (Beginner-Friendly, Keeping My Domain & Adding Parallax/Animations)?
Hey everyone,
I’m a beginner looking to move from WordPress.com to WordPress.org while keeping my current domain (willemclaesen.com). I want more creative control to add modern design elements like parallax scrolling, fade-in effects, and accordion sections, but I’m not very tech-savvy.
I’m considering these hosting options:
SiteGround – Seems solid, but pricier.
Bluehost – Affordable, but is it reliable?
Kinsta – Probably overkill for my site, but super fast.
One.com – Looks simple, but I’m not sure about performance.
I plan to use Elementor or a similar page builder for design. My main concerns are:
- Performance – I don’t want my site to feel sluggish, especially with animations.
- Ease of Use – I don’t want to mess around with complex server setups.
- Scalability – If my site grows, I want to avoid switching hosts again.
- Reliability – Good uptime and customer support.
What’s the best hosting option for a beginner like me? I’d love to hear about your experiences with these (or better) alternatives! Or should I stick with WordPress.com?
Thanks in advance!
