How To Disable Cloudflare From Your Domain

On
How To Disable Cloudflare from your domain is the search term I used in the Google search bar to learn the ways of removing or deleting cloudflare.

Most of the results came from solutions posted in the knowledge base of most webhosting company.

Their tutorial simply says the following:

Hostgator

1. Log into cPanel.

2. For Shared customers, click on the CloudFlare icon in the Software/Services section. For Reseller customers, the icon can be found in the Advanced section.

3. Click Edit next to the domain on which CloudFlare is enabled.

4. Next to the sub domain for which you'd like CloudFlare disabled, click the orange cloud. When the cloud turns gray, CloudFlare has been disabled.

Bluehost

1. Click the CloudFlare icon, located in the Domains section of your control panel.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.

3. Choose your domain name from the drop down menu.

4. Click the Disable button to disable CloudFlare.

Almost all web hosting companies says the same thing. But that is the remedy if you are using cloudflare in a web hosing companies which partnered with cloudflare and the cloudflare feature is integrated in the cpanel.

I used the free blogging platform blogger. I just want to experience and see for my self if my site will become really fast if I use a CDN like cloudflare.

You can use cloudflare in a blogger blog provided it is connected to a domain name you purchased elsewhere and not using the default blogspot domain.

I registered with cloudflare in their sign-up page of its website and not from the cpanel of a web hosting company.

When I registered for a cloudflare account, I was instructed to change the DNS of my website. I am using namecheap as my domain provider, so I went to Namecheap and change the setting of my domain name to use the nameserver of cloudflare.

The reason i want to disable cloudflare is because the sub domain of the domain name I registered with cloudflare no longer works.

Perhaps there might be other solutions out there I may not be aware of without disabling cloudflare but the point is, I want it disabled.

Cloudflares website suggest that users must temporarily deactivate CloudFlare first.

What I did was to first go to my blogger blog dashboard and remove the sub domain of my domain hosted on the free blogger blog.

So I am back with my former blogspot domain.

Then I went back to cloudflare website and log in.

Click the advanced link on the right and 2 options will pop out.

The options are either to pause or delete your domain associated with cloudflare.

Remove cloudflare.

I deleted my domain associated with Cloudflare. After that I went back to my domain registrar's website which is namecheap and brought back the way things are before.

Why I Stopped Installing A Caching Plugin

On
The Reason I stopped installing a caching plugin is because my web host handles the server caching for me.

One of my blog is hosted on a managed wordpress server.

FastComet, Flywheel and Godaddy offers an affordable managed wordpress hosting plans.

These Managed Wordpress hosting companies offers the following start-up hosting plans:

Server Caching is faster than doing it yourself by installing and configuring a caching plugin.

When you host your wordpress blog on a managed wordpress host, you expect  that caching comes as a standard. Otherwise, look for another managed wordpress web host.

Even without using a CDN Content Delivery Network, your wordpress blog simply load extremely fast.

When one of my blog was hosted on a generic shared hosting,

I want it to load my web pages fast so I tried installing a caching plugin. I stayed away from w3 Total cache for the simple reason that it is too complicated for most newbie wordpress blogger.

I want a simple caching plugin like WP Super Cache where I do not need to configure so many settings.

We are bloggers right? and bloggers are supposed to write content and not tinkering  on technical things such as performance tuning of a caching plugin to make our blog load fast.

So if what you want is to improve the user's experience of your blog visitors by increasing server performance, reducing the download times and making your wordpress blog load blazingly fast, then stop installing a caching plugin.

Instead, host your blog on a managed wordpress hosting provider with an affordable startup plan like FastComet, Godaddy and Siteground.

Once your blog is hosted on a managed wordpress hosting plan, forget about installing a caching plugin, speed is taken care of by your web host.

How To Reduce Image File Size In Your Post

On
Reduce image file size in your blog posts. This will contribute to the faster loading of your website.

Most bloggers started blogging with a site hosted on a shared hosting plan.

You may perhaps be one of those who are lured into the so-called unlimited in everything like storage space and bandwidth.

But the truth is, unlimited is not actually unlimited.

If you will take the time to read the terms of service of a web hosting provider which you can usually find through a link somewhere in the footer of the web hosting provider's website, you will be limited by a certain amount of storage space and resources.

If your WordPress blog is hosted on a hosting provider that gives you a very limited amount of storage space, say 1 gigabyte or 5 gigabytes which is common, you need to reduce image file size of every image you post on your blog.

When You reduce image file size in your blog post, aside from conserving storage space, your site will load faster, contributing to a good user experience.

There are generally 3 types of Image file type you upload together with your article.

Uploading the wrong type of image or picture will sometimes result in increased file size and thereby slowing your site.

You must try to reduce image file size in your articles by uploading the correct and appropriate type of image file.

When choosing an image you will use in your blog post, consider using any of the following types of images.
  • JPEG
  • GIF
  • PNG

To simplify things, When posting an article with an image file or picture, Keep in mind the following:

1.Use JPEG for
  • Still Images
  • Photographs
  • Complex Coloring
  • Shading of Light and Dark

2.Use GIF for
  • Animations
  • Small Icons
  • Web Graphics with Few Colors
  • Simple Images ex. simple cartoons, single color border

3.Use PNG for
  • Web Images ex.logos
  • Complex Images ex.Photographs if file size is not an issue

By remembering the above image file type will help to reduce image file size hence, a faster loading site.

What most blogger do is to use a plugin to compress the size of the image file or picture.

I prefer to edit my image file first before uploading instead of installing a plugin to compress the image.

Using the correct image file type will even dispense with image editing.

You must try to minimize the use of plugins. Plugins consumes server resources and affect site performance and speed.

Fastcomet Managed Wordpress Hosting

On
I was looking for a cheap, fast and reliable managed wordpress hosting to host my second blog. I found fastcomet managed wordpress hosting.

My First Blog is hosted on Namecheap.  I paid 9.88 US Dollar for the 1st year. It comes with a free .website domain.

It will renew at the price of 38.88 US Dollar per year.

I do not have a problem with my wordpress blog hosted on namecheap, In fact I am a happy customer. Namecheap's shared hosting is blazingly fast with free CDN Cloudflare enabled and a caching plugin turned on.

I am just curious of the difference between an ordinary wordpress blog hosted on an ordinary shared hosting and a managed wordpress hosting.

Most established blogs I read almost say the same thing. Managed WordPress hosting is not for you if you are just starting out your first blog.

Well that might be true if your sole consideration is the hosting cost.

But now, with a Fastcomet managed wordpress hosting sold at just 2.95 US Dollar monthly, why not host your first or more of your wordpress blog on a managed hosting.

Some of the larger hosting companies like bluehost, hostgator and dreamhost charged more than that of fastcomet.

Almost all the managed wordpress hosting out there are very expensive and they are all over the top ten sites of the google search results page.

But these does not mean that less expensive managed wordpress hosting is far behind in speed,security and reliability.

I tried  godaddy managed wordpress hosting before and it is priced at less than 7 US Dollar a month for their basic or starting plan but the speed is blazingly fast at under 1 seconds with more than 15 active plugins.

I thought that Godaddy is the cheapest managed wordpress hosting out there before I discovered fastcomet managed wordpress hosting.

I said I have to try this hosting company and compare it to Godaddy.

Fastcomet managed wordpress hosting cheapest plan is sold at 2.95 US Dollar monthly.

Now compare that to the likes of wpengine, pagely, websynthesis and all the other expensive managed wordpress hosting.

For all startup wordpress bloggers  who dreams of a fast, secure and reliable managed wordpress hosting at a reasonable and less expensive price, try FastComet managed wordpress hosting and compare the speed, security and reliability with your present ordinary shared web host.

Personally visit the FastComet website to see its features which I am sure you will be impressed by what this managed wordpress hosting company offers.

Easy Way To Transfer Blogger Posts To Wordpress

On
The easy way to transfer blogger posts to wordpress is by following the simple guide below which I personally used in transferring my old blogger posts to my new wordpress blog.

I bought a shared hosting with namecheap for less that 1 dollar a month for one year and renewable at 38.88 US Dollar per year.

It comes with a free .website domain name for one year to get you started blogging right away.

I easily installed my wordpress blog via namecheaps cpanel with the help of the ever reliable softaculous software.

Now my wordpress blog is ready for my blog posts.

I wanted to bring or transfer my blogger blog posts to my new wordpress blog and I do not know the easy way to transfer blogger post to wordpress.

I searched the internet for easy way for a newbie wordpress blogger like me then, to transfer my blogger blog posts to my new wordpress blog.

I found a free wordpress plugin from the wordpress plugin repository that can easily move or transfer your blog posts from your blog hosted on the free blogger platform to your self hosted wordpress blog site.

The Name of the WordPress plug-in is Blogger Importer Extended.

This wordpress plugin will basically import posts, pages, tags, comments, images and links from your blogger blog.

This is a user-friendly, easy to use and  a reliable plugin.

It has a 5 star rating which means majority if not all of those who used it was satisfied with its performance. It has more that 4,000 active installs.

Just Install this plugin from your wordpress dashboard and activate it.

In your wordpress dashboard, go to tools, then import and there you will find the newly installed and activated Blogger Importer Extended which you can easily use to transfer your blogger blog posts to your wordpress blog.

Disclaimer: I am merely narrating my personal experience when I migrated my blogger blog posts to my wordpress blog and what wordpress plugin I used.

Fastest Minimalist Wordpress Theme

On
Are you searching for the fastest minimalist wordpress Theme?

When I first started using the hosted wordpress blog platform, the first theme I used was a free one.

I used the wordpress theme Go Fresh. I downloaded it from one of my favorite wordpress blog wpexplorer.

Soon I realized that wordpress and wordpress plugins are updated very often but my wordpress theme is not. These resulted in some compatibility issues with my installed wordpress theme.

I began shopping for a fast but minimalist wordpress theme at the most affordable price.

That's when I discovered the schema wordpress theme.

I bought the theme at Mythemeshop. It is sold at $45 but I bought mine at $9.

Mythemeshop at times sale at great discounts. Just subscribed to their email list to receive updates on any discounts offered.

I was amazed how fast and how easy it is to customize the theme.

You can do whatever you want. You can change the side bar from left to right or you may opt to remove the side bar.

My blog has a page load speed of under 1 second in these theme.

My blog is not even hosted on a managed wordpress web host.

My blog is hosted on a shared hosting environment at namecheap.

Fastest Minimalist WordPress Theme is what I typed in the google search bar when I began searching for a fast theme but what comes on top of the search pages of google does not necessarily mean the fastest.

Those sites perhaps are just well optimized for SEO.

The support I get from MyThemeShop is excellent. They only give support via their forum but the reply is fast and they can answer any question you throw at them regarding your theme.

You can even ask them codes that you can easily paste in your theme to customize it to the look you want.

4 Things I Love About their themes are the following:
  • It is Responsive

  • It is Speed Optimized

  • It is SEO Ready

  • It can be Use On Unlimited Sites

Next time you purchase a wordpress theme and you want the fastest minimalist wordpress theme for you blog, try visiting mythemeshop and look around. I am sure you will find one that you like.

Child Theme Configurator Wordpress Plugin

On
Child Theme Configurator is a wordpress plugin created by lilaeamedia aimed primarily at creating a child theme without editing anything from your wordpress site.

I created my child theme through this very efficient and handy wordpress plugin.

You can easily create child themes and customize styles, templates and functions. Enqueues stylesheets and web fonts. Handles rgba, vendor-prefixes and more.

Child Theme Configurator is updated often by the plugin author.

It is compatible with the latest version of wordpress.

Child Theme Configurator is a fast and easy to use CSS editor that allows you to create a child theme and customize it beyond the options of the Customizer.

You can create any number of child themes from your existing Parent Themes.

The Child Theme Configurator lets you choose from your installed themes (even existing child themes) and save the results in your Themes directory.

Experts suggests that one of the safest way to create a child theme is by using a plugin and Child Theme Configurator is one of the best plugin for the purpose.

My main reason for creating a child theme is to prevent any loss to any customization that I make with my installed wordpress theme.

Have you tried customizing your installed wordpress theme to the exact features and look you like only to be lost with just one update of  your wordpress theme?

Create a child theme by using this plugin and you will never loss again any customization you make with your theme caused by any theme updates.

After installing the Child Theme Configurator and created a child theme, you may deactivate it or even uninstall or delete it and your child theme will not be affected.

That is one of the beauty of this plugin, It is designed to work independently of themes and plugins.

This plugin is very light and it will never slow down your wordpress site.

What Is An Inode In Web Hosting?

On
You may be new in web hosting and come across the term inode. What is an inode in web hosting?

An Inode, in layman's term usually equals
  • one file

  • one folder

  • one email

Sometimes, one file may consists of more than one inode because of its large size.

An Inode, in a technical term is short for index node.

In Unix-based file systems, an inode is considered to be a data structure that represents a single file system object.

The inode space is used to “track” the files stored on the hard disk. The inode entries store metadata about each file, directory or object, but only points to these structures rather than storing the data.

Each entry is 128 bytes in size.

Below are some of the Inode Limits imposed by popular web hosting companies.

All of those mentioned below are for the cheapest shared hosting plan.



Namecheap

300,000 inodes for its cheapest plan.

600,000 inodes for its business plan.

Once your hosting account exceeds 150,000, it gets excluded from automatic server backup system.

You can check the number of inodes in your hosting account in Stats section. Under File Usage in Cpanel.



Siteground

150,000 Inodes



Bluehost

50,000 Inodes



Godaddy

250,000 Inodes for linux hosting account

500,000 Inodes for Windows hosting accounts



Hostgator

100,000 Inodes



Fastcomet

450,000 Inodes



Site5

75,000 Inodes



A Small Orange

100,000 Inodes



Arvixe

No Inode Limits



Stable Host

250,000 Inodes

Eliminate Your Fears And Doubts About Adsense

On
You are all aware that AdSense is a free, simple way to earn money by displaying targeted ads next to your online content.

With AdSense, you can show relevant and engaging ads to your site visitors and even customize the look and feel of ads to match your website.

Some of you may now have an adsense account, congratulations, please take care and abide by its policy.

Some of you perhaps fear adsense. You opted to join a different ad network. You read a lot of negative and arbitrary articles against it.

Eliminate your fears. Adsense is not arbitrary.

If you commit a minor violation for instance, it will not close or shut your site immediately. Instead, it will issue a warning and you will be notified through the email address you provided during the sign-up process so it is important to open your email account everyday for any update.

When you receive a warning from adsense, read carefully the reason for the warning and fix it.

The issues are stated in the email letter.

Fixing means you either remove all your code in your site or check the offending page or pages and remove or modify it to comply with Google policy.

As soon as you receive a warning from Google, fix your site asap although no time-line was given to fix the violation.

You do not need to inform or notify Google after you have fixed the problem.

Do not fear Adsense, It will not shut or disable ad serving to your site unless you are guilty for extreme policy violation such as

  • Adult Content

  • Copyright Infringement

  • Violent Content

  • Recidivist or repeat policy violator

What should you do in case your site is disabled for policy violation?

You can make an appeal. Adsense will review the page or pages violating its terms and policies. But before filing an appeal, be sure to remove the ad code from the violating pages of your site.

To make your appeal case credible and worthy of consideration, you must show exactly what you did to address the violation and tell Google how you will prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Eliminate your fears and doubts about adsense. The only time in which your account will be shut down completely is when

  • Your violation is egregious, flagrant or outrageously bad

  • You are a recidivist or repeat policy violator

Resource Limit Is Reached What To Do?

On
So finally, Your resource limit is reached and your web host warned you to upgrade your hosting plan to a higher hosting tier or to reduce your resource usage.

You were surprised right? You subscribed to a shared web hosting plan of your present web host based on its very convincing advertisement like free domain for life, unlimited space/storage and unlimited bandwidth.

Your web host promised unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth but now requires you to upgrade or to reduce your usage because your web hosting resource limit is reached.

What will you do? If I am similarly situated as you, where my web host tells me that my web hosting  resource limit is reached, I will look for a web host that offers more space and offers more bandwidth.

You may ask, How will I do that when almost all the web hosting providers in the world advertise their shared hosting plans to be unlimited in space/storage or to be unlimited in bandwidth.

The truth is that nothing is unlimited.

The real limitation of your web hosting is hidden in the term of service of the web host posted in their website which you may have not have noticed and read.

What will you look for when shopping for a web hosting?

Do not look for terms such as free domain name for life or unlimited space or unlimited bandwidth.

Look For These Terms:

  • Inodes

  • Processes

  • Memory

  • CPU Time

Inodes

Inodes are often the real limits on the amount of disk space you can use on an unlimited disk space plan.

Any file on your hosting account is considered an inode.

For example, 1 email would be 1 inode. 1 email with 2 attachments  would be 3 inodes. Images, movies, HTML files, folders, script files, symlinks and etc. are all considered inodes.

Namecheap shared hosting offers 300,000 inodes for its 3 shared web hosting plans. This is the real limit to its unlimited space as advertised on its website.

This is huge as compared to the other popular web hosting out there.

Sitegrounds Cheapest plan set a 150,000 inode limits.

Bluehost shared plan set a 50,000 inode limits. Very low. In case the above limits are hit, your account, website, email service performance will be affected. Emails might not be delivered and sent. New files might not be uploaded, and overall account performance might get unstable.

Your web host may now require you to upgrade to a VPS or other plan with high resource limit.

The Resource Limit Is Reached clause that you may someday receive from your web host can really be avoided by choosing a better web host like namecheap.



CPU Time/Usage

Specifies how much of the allocated CPU resources you are currently using. The amount of CPU resources a web host provide to each account is the percentage of the server’s resources.

If CPU reaches 100% it means that your account is using all of the CPU resources allocated, and any new processes will be put to sleep until existing processes complete.

This can cause your website to slow down dramatically and in extreme cases even time out.

Namecheap web hosting allocates 20% CPU Time/Usage for its cheapest shared hosting plan which is high.

Fastcomet offers CPU and Memory usage limit of 80%. This means you cannot have a constant resource utilization of 80% for any given hour.



Processes

The number of processes that enter your account.

For example, every PHP page that is accessed by a user will usually generate a single entry process.

Many people misinterpret this value as “number of visitors you can have on your website at once”. Whilst it is true that each visitor accessing a PHP page will spawn an entry process, these processes usually end so quickly that it is extremely unlikely that 10 will be spawned concurrently and at a single moment unless you had a significantly large number of simultaneous visitors on your website at once. SSH sessions and cron jobs also count as entry processes.

Namecheap is very generous on this one. The limit it sets is 20 processes compared to 10 offered by the other big hosting companies like siteground.



Bandwidth

It means how much data  can be downloaded from your website.

This is a big thing to consider when choosing a web hosting company.

If you don’t host large media files or do a lot of streaming, you can usually get by with under 10 GB per month.

For example, a modestly-popular blog with 1000 visitors per day, a 100 kb page size, and 2 page views per average visitor will only need about 8.5 GB of bandwidth per month.

You will reach your CPU usage limit or Memory limit even before reaching your bandwidth limit.

Unlimited Bandwidth in shared hosting will be really limited by other resource limit like CPU Usage and Memory usage.

I wish you can find a web host which offers the highest resource limits so that you will never receive an email from your web host saying that your Resource Limit Is Reached.

Kindly post a feed back in the comment section of this post for any web hosting provider that offers a high resource limit on their shared hosting.

Speed Up Your Wordpress Blog In 3 Simple Ways

On
Would You Like To Speed Up Your Wordpress Blog?

Would you like to have a Google page speed grade of 96% and Yahoo Yslow grade of 92%.

Would you like your wordpress blog to have a page load time of 1.04 seconds.

Who doesn't, right?

You can  Speed Up your wordpress blog in 3 simple ways.

I was able to attain this by installing just 3 wordpress plugins.

These wordpress plugins are free to use and freely available from wordpress.org plugin repository.

This 3 Plugins I installed to make my wordpress blog blazingly fast are the following:

  • WP Super Cache

  • Autoptimize

  • WP-Optimize

If you are a new wordpress blogger  starting to blog in a domain hosted on a shared server, there is less we can do about the server side optimization part of making our blog blazingly fast.

What you can do is to optimize the frontend side of making things fast in the browsers of visitors visiting our blog.



WP Super Cache

It is free and easily downloadable from the wordpress.org plugin repository. It is a very fast caching plugin for a wordpress blog.

Easy Way To Install Google Analytics In Wordpress

On
Majority of websites and blogs I read generally recommends 2 ways to install Google Analytics in wordpress blog.

These websites and blogs recommends that Google Analytics should be installed in wordpress blog in the following ways:
  • By using a wordpress plugin

  • By Pasting the Google Analytics Code
There are lots of wordpress plugins to choose from where Google Analytics can be installed.

One blog I read said that it is not advisable to follow Google's recommendation of pasting the google analytics tracking code directly into the header.php of your wordpress theme.

The argument mentioned was that if you change theme, the tracking code will be gone, you will not going to use the same theme forever, the blog site further said.

That blog recommended using plugins to install the tracking code.

The following wordpress plugins are mentioned and mostly recommended by the more popular wordpress blogs.
By Pasting The Google Analytics Code
  • In the functions.php file of your wordpress theme

  • In the header.php file of your wordpress theme
In my wordpress blog, I choose to paste the code in the header.php of my wordpress theme.

Several blogs I read said to paste the tracking code immediately below the <body> tag then click update file.

Some blogs say to paste the code just about the closing head tag and click update file.

I was confused so I went directly to the Google Analytics help page and read myself.

The help page says to Paste the Google Analytic Code immediately before the closing </head> tag.

Following Googles recommendation, I pasted the code immediately before the closing </head> tag in the header.php file of my wordpress blog.

Add the Google Analytics Code to Your WordPress Theme.

1. Copy the tracking code

2. Go to your WordPress Admin and then Appearance > Editor

3. Open your themes header.php file and directory underneath the <body> tag, paste the tracking code.

 Note: Googles recommendation is closing </head> tag in the header.php file

 After Installing The Google Analytics in any of the ways mentioned above, Go to your Google Analytics account and check if it is working in your wordpress site.

To Check Whether The Tracking Code Is Working Or Not Google Made The Following Instructions:

1. Sign in to your Analytics account.

2. Navigate to the property to which you added the tracking code.

3. Click Tracking Info > Tracking Code.

4. Review the tracking code status message. Near the tracking ID (UA-XXXXX-XX), you’ll see one of the following status messages:

a. Waiting for data

b. Tracking not installed or not verified

c. Receiving data

d. Unknown

Creating Wordpress Child Theme The Easy Way

On
Have you ever tried creating wordpress child theme?

A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality and styling of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes are the recommended way of modifying an existing theme.

 Have you ever tried buying a premium wordpress theme that you like?

You make all the customizations like changing the fonts or colors. Perhaps you bought a 2 column theme and customized it to make it a one column theme.

You spend countless hours or days in the customer support forum or email support of the theme shop where you bought your theme.

They advised you to paste this css code in your theme and so on.

All of this effort of yours comes down to nothing when you update your theme only to find out that after updating your theme, all those customization is lost.

You may not be aware of the term child theme when you are starting out to blog in the wordpress platform.

Perhaps you may be one of those, who came from blogging in the free Google blogger platform where it is so easy to set up and easier to maintain a blog.

Wordpress is harder to maintain than a blogger blog. You have to update not only your theme but also your plugins and if anyone of those breaks down, Your wordpress blog in general will be affected.

It is advisable that you should create a child theme from a parent theme. Creating a wordpress child theme does not need to be difficult.

I bought my first wordpress theme from mythemeshop for $9. It was sold at a discount then with one year of support and update.

 I was advised to make a child theme out of the theme I bought. Guides were provided how to do it.

Being a newbie then, with zero knowledge in blogging on the wordpress platform, I was lost.

Since I am a newbie, I do not want to dwell in the cpanel or modify php code or anything of that sort just to make a child theme.

I discovered a very easy method of creating a child theme without going to the cpanel or dwelling with ftp or anything of that sort.

I made a child theme by using a free wordpress plugin, yes a free wordpress plugin freely downloadable from the wordpress plugin repository.

The name of the plugin is Child Theme Configurator. Just download this plugin and activate it.

Child Theme Configurator is a fast and easy to use CSS editor that allows you to create a child theme and customize it by clicking easy to follow options of its Customizer.

After creating a wordpress child theme, activate it and use it and you will never again lose any modifications you make on your theme when you update your wordpress theme.

Creating wordpress child theme doesn't need to be difficult.

The Fastest Web Host

On
I was searching for 2 weeks now where to find the fastest Web Host.

Not that I am not satisfied with my present web host, namecheap. I am in fact a happy and a satisfied customer.

I paid just $9.88 for one year of hosting and it comes with a free .website domain and a free domain privacy. You can host up to 3 wordpress blog or website.

I am searching for the fastest web host I can find aside from my present web host so I can concentrate on making content for my site and not worrying about Google penalizing my site for being too slow.

I found Fastcomet. Fastcomet offers a high performance cloud hosting with SSD-only servers, CloudFlare CDN and 24/7/365 days dedicated support.

It offers a free domain and a unique caching for blazing website speed. Daily Backups is an added bonus.

Fastcomet is using SSD drives in all their servers.

SSD or Solid State Drives are significantly faster than ordinary hard disk drives used by the more popular web hosting providers.

Fastcomet is the fastest web host because it uses 5 level of caching layers to boost your website speed.

These layers includes Google Page Speed, Optimum Cache, Facebook FlashCache, Memcached and Cloudflare CDN Caching.

Fastcomets cheapest plan starts with $2.95 per month.

For that amount, you get
  • Free Domain For Life

  • 35GB SSD Space

  • Unlimited Traffic

  • Daily and Weekly Backups

  • 1 Click Backup/Restore

  • Unlimited MySQL Database

And Much More...

I forgot to tell you that the $2.95 per month you pay is not for ordinary web hosting, it is a managed wordpress web hosting.

You will get what you pay for and more and more...
