Hosting Your Blog With Gandi

Designing a personal or professional blog using WordPress combines many advantages. This CMS allows users to personalise their website very easily even if they do not master programming languages and provides an all-in-one solution for bloggers who wish to focus on their content.

However, WordPress does not offer a ‘turnkey’ experience. It is therefore necessary to put a third party in charge of hosting your WordPress blog. Far from constituting a source of additional complexity, entrusting the services of a web host can instead be an unexpected asset.

The Benefits of Choosing your Own WordPress Hosting Solution

Being able to design a blog with WordPress while retaining the possibility to select your own host is particularly beneficial. This solution can indeed allow you to:

• Avoid any unwanted advertising on your blog;
• Decide the price you want to pay based on the functionalities and options that you deem important;
• Maintain great flexibility to adapt the size of your hosting offer to the amount of traffic on your blog;
• Benefit from a fully automated installation process and the immediate connection of your WordPress blog to your domain name.

Blog hosting gives you the possibility to enjoy these benefits without having to sacrifice any of the other advantages you get from using a CMS.

The Advantages of Using WordPress as your CMS To Create a Blog

WordPress is a Content Management System which combines a high level of personalisation with a user-friendliness that few other open-source CMSs offer. Even professional web developers rely on this platform without hesitation.

Thanks to thousands of themes, extensions and plugins available under this CMS, WordPress users can create a unique, high-quality blog without running the risk of lengthening response time.

WordPress blogs put an emphasis on content, which is particularly beneficial to their rankings in search results. Search Engine Optimisation is also made simpler thanks to a host of easily integrable SEO plugins.

Finally, WordPress’ community is where it truly shines. Thanks to this support network, you can communicate with people who have at heart to make the official forum as lively and as useful as possible. There, you will find answers to all your questions.
