Does WordPress include hosting?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:47 am

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that enables you to create a website or blog from scratch, or to improve an existing website. It is free and open source software released under the GPLv2 license.

WordPress includes a built-in web server that enables you to host your website on a server of your choice. You can also use a hosting service to host your WordPress website.

PRO TIP: No. WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that can be installed on any web hosting account. If you don’t have a web hosting account, you can get one from any number of companies (such as WP Engine).

Although WordPress includes hosting, you should consider whether hosting is right for you. Hosting services can range in price and quality, and you may need to pay for add-on features such as domain name registration, backup services, and more.

If you have a small website, you may not need a hosting service. WordPress also includes a plugin that enables you to host your website on a server without using a hosting service.

WordPress is a popular CMS, and there are many hosting providers that offer WordPress-based websites. If you are considering using WordPress, be sure to research the various hosting options and choose the one that is best for you.
