Hosting Your WordPress Site

Hosting your WordPress website is a little more involved then hosting say a 10 page static site.  Your WordPress site has a bigger need for Server Resources so it can “run” your site and not just “display” it.  WordPress is an engine of sorts that serves up data from a database so before your page is displayed in a browser it makes many calls to your database which in turn puts a load on the server.  Even a host that claims unlimited everything will hold you to a certain level of CPU usage.  So if your WordPress Site has become a popular site with heavy usage this is what you might need.  A semi-dedicated hosting platform with high CPU usage limits.  Along with many other standard hosting plans GDS offers this for your high usage needs.  GDS High End Pro Hosting.

A lot of development goes towards security and it is always a good idea to upgrade to the latest version for that fact alone.  PLUS! There’s the new dashboard layout and admin functionality that make this an extra nice upgrade.
