Hosting recommendations

I try to make it easy for you; there are just two hosts and one CDN that I recommend:

Shared Hosting

HostGator is without a doubt the best choice for most WordPress sites. See why I love HostGator. Use coupon DIWW25PCOFF to save 25%.

VPS and Dedicated Servers

ServInt is an excellent provider of VPS and Dedicated Servers for much busier sites. See why I love ServInt.

Content Delivery Network

MaxCDN is a perfect fit for WordPress. It ties right in with W3 Total Cache and loads your site much faster. See why I love MaxCDN.

Must-have Plugins

There are some plugins that I just can't live without. Here's just a few of them:

Gravity Forms

Gravity Forms is the single plugin that I couldn't live without. See why I love Gravity Forms.

Solilqouy

Soliloquy lets you build the most powerful, customized and responsive sliders in WordPress. See why I love Soliloquy.
