Among the various blogging platforms, WordPress is definitely one of the most popular blogging programs. There are two types of WordPress platforms: WordPress.com and WordPress.org. Using WordPress.com and you will be assigned a subdomain website (e.g. yourname.wordpress.com). The benefit for hosting your website under WordPress.com is that it costs you nothing. However, you won't have full access to certain features. WordPress.com does not support plugins, which are one of the most important features of WordPress). In addition, WordPress.com is "ad-supported". This means that ads will be randomly displayed on your blog.
For WordPress.org, you need to find your own web hosting firm and install the program yourself. Hence, you also need to register your own domain name. However, since it's a program, it is customizable (you can modify and edit the CSS, themes, and html codes). Simply, you have full control over modifying your blogs to better suit your needs.
Both WordPress.com and WordPress.org have their pros and cons. But since WordPress.com cannot offer full access to the features of WordPress, it is better to use WordPress.org.
In order to use WordPress.org, you need to find a web hosting package that is compatible with WordPress. To use WordPress, your hosting plan needs to have MySQL and PHP support.
Managed WordPress hosting is a hosting environment that’s specifically designed to cater to WordPress websites. Think of it as wearing a well-tailored suit, custom fitted to your body. Rather than grabbing a suit off the rack, with your eyes closed!
Managed WP advantages for your website:
Since managed WordPress hosting is a more customized hosting solution, there are a few drawbacks that come with the upgraded service. For instance, the costs for this kind of hosting are generally higher. Sometimes, there are also limitations on the amount of customization you can do across your site. Some managed WordPress hosts won’t allow your site to use certain plugins. This is usually catered by keeping high security messures on your WP site. Many Plugins can conflict and open doors to potential hacks on your site. So, if your site requires certain plugins to function, and those plugins are on the host’s restricted list, and then you might need to find another hosting option.
Here is our list of (Plugins not allowed)
Also, you can only run WordPress on managed WordPress hosting. Any other kinds of CMSs aren’t allowed.
There’s no “right” hosting choice for every kind of business out there. But, if you can afford the additional costs of WordPress managed hosting, and have plans to grow your website in the future, then managed WP hosting is generally the way to go.
If you’re unsure about the higher price point, then stick with the basic shared hosting plans, you can always upgrade in time, as your site grows!

Our concerns are ultimately to make sure your site is fully functional. WordPress is not a development platform and is designed around providing a highly optimized hosting experience with superior uptime, reliability, security, and redundancy.
The following below are standards with every Optimized WordPress site:
For the overall health of both your website and the server, plugins that duplicate services that we already provide and include with your WordPress account may not be used.
Plugins that duplicate existing functions can cause harm to your website and server side. Multiple caching solutions can corrupt files required to view a site, over compressing javascript and css, or redundantly storing images preventing them from being updated.
Often plugins include functionality that may cause high server loads at the time that the site is loaded. A high server load can prevent or slow your site from being loaded quickly, and can even cause site and server downtime. This can happen by:
In order to ensure that your site is served quickly and reliably, we must restrict the use of inefficient plugins.
We take the security of your website very seriously. It is important to note that software on your website can potentially be accessed by malicious third-parties.
Both SiteLock and CodeGuard are included with Optimized WordPress, allowing you to scan your site for malware and restore when damage has been found. We also actively track many plugins with known vulnerabilities and prevent their installation to help provide you with the most secure possible hosting experience.
We do our best to actively maintain a list of plugins with known vulnerabilities and blacklist them accordingly to help you maintain a healthy and secure website. At any given time we have the right to add additional plugins to our blacklist. Any plugins that we feel will jeopardize your hosting experience as well as other clients due to hack and compromised attempts will be blacklisted and not permitted within our Wordpress hosting environment.
In order to ensure the best experience for you, we blacklist plugins that are known to send SPAM. Many plugins are able to send mail via a script, which can result in plugins that abuse this privilege.
Plugins that send spam to users can be detrimental to your domain, as it may become blacklisted, or worse. It is important that sending email adhere to current SPAM laws. At SniperHost we do offer a complete autoresponder mailing platform.
Here is a complete list of plugins that are not allowed to be used within our WordPress hosting environment:
