Real Help When You Need It

• Starting a website is simple. You typically need two things: a domain name (your web address) and web hosting (where your website files live). Once your domain points to your hosting, your website can be reached on the internet.

• Moving your website can feel overwhelming, but Web Host Pro makes the process simple with free migration services for a wide range of hosting platforms.

  Whether you run a small website, growing business, or high-traffic server, our team can help move your data with minimal downtime and as little disruption as possible.

• Domain registration reserves a name (like yourbusiness.com) so it can point to your website. Without a domain name, visitors would need to use a server IP address or a subdomain. After registration, the domain can be connected to your hosting so it loads your site.

  Domain Registration

• A web host stores your website files and delivers them to visitors over the internet. Hosting runs on servers that are online 24/7 so your website can be accessed anytime. A simple way to think about it is: hosting is the “land” your website is built on.

• There are four common hosting types: shared hosting, reseller hosting, VPS, and dedicated servers. Each option differs in performance, resources, and management flexibility.
  
  Speed and capacity matter most for ecommerce and high-traffic sites. Any server can process only so much data per second, so a quality provider must avoid overselling resources. If you see “unlimited everything,” it’s worth looking closely at limits and fair-use policies.

• Your domain’s name servers (DNS) for cPanel web hosting, add-on domains, and parked domains are:
  
  ns1.webhost.pro
  ns2.webhost.pro
  ns3.webhost.pro
  
  
  For DirectAdmin Hosting they are:
  
  ns1.webhostpros.com
  ns2.webhostpros.com
  
  
  You update name servers at your domain registrar. If you registered your domain with us, we will apply these automatically. If you transferred a domain to us, you may need to update the name servers after the transfer completes.
  
  VPS and dedicated servers use custom name servers that we create and assign for each service. If you need help, please contact us.

• We do not offer free trials for cPanel hosting, reseller hosting, or dedicated servers due to fraud risk. We do offer a 45-day money-back guarantee on web hosting and reseller plans, and a 15-day money-back guarantee for VPS and dedicated servers.
  
  We can also activate a limited free trial for unmanaged VPS in some cases after identity verification. Contact support if you’d like to request this.
  
  WordPress, ecommerce, and SiteJet hosting also include a no-questions-asked, 45-day money-back guarantee.

  cPanel demo:
  cPanel Demo

• 1. Log in to your Account Manager from any page on our website.
  2. Under Active Services, click the hosting plan you want to use.
  3. If you see the Softaculous icon in Quick Links, open it. If not, click “Log in to cPanel.”
  4. In cPanel, locate WordPress (or open Softaculous) and follow the installer steps.
  
  Important tips:
  • Your domain must be live (DNS fully propagated) before the installer will work.
  • Use https:// (and https://www. if that’s your preferred format).
  • Save your /wp-admin login link after your first login for easy access later.
  • Use a security plugin with brute-force protection to help deter spammers and attackers.

• localhost
  
  Remote MySQL access is not available on shared or reseller servers. For remote database access, you’ll need a VPS or dedicated server.

WordPress is flexible, powerful, and one of the most popular website platforms in the world. Like any software, it performs best when properly maintained. Following these recommendations can improve speed, security, and overall reliability.

Before making major changes, we recommend creating a complete backup of your files and database.

WordPress Speed & Security Optimization Guide

Recommended Optimization Steps

1. Keep WordPress Updated
   Update WordPress core, plugins, and themes regularly. Outdated software is one of the most common causes of performance and security issues.
2. Use the Latest Compatible PHP Version
   Newer PHP versions are faster and more secure. Check MultiPHP Manager and use the newest version your website supports.
3. Install Essential Plugins
   Recommended tools:
   • Simple CAPTCHA Alternative with Cloudflare Turnstile for login security.
   • LiteSpeed Cache for caching, image optimization, and performance improvements.
   • Rank Math or SiteSEO for search engine optimization.
4. Optimize Page Size
   Keep pages lean, enable lazy loading, and avoid extremely long pages containing excessive media.
5. Limit Blog Archive Size
   Display a reasonable number of posts per page. Five posts per archive page is often a good starting point.
6. Remove Unused Plugins and Themes
   Delete anything you no longer use to reduce security risks and resource consumption.
7. Reduce Admin-AJAX Usage
   Excessive admin-ajax requests can create unnecessary server load on busy websites.
8. Replace WP-Cron with a Real Cron Job
   Using a scheduled cron job instead of wp-cron.php can improve performance on active websites.
9. Enable Login Protection
   Use rate limiting and login lockout features to reduce brute-force attacks.
10. Optimize Images
    Compress images before uploading and use image optimization tools whenever possible.
11. Disable Unused Features
    If comments, tags, or other features are not needed, disable them to reduce overhead.
12. Verify HTTPS Configuration
    Ensure your SSL certificate is working correctly and that visitors are redirected to HTTPS.
13. Avoid Resource-Heavy Plugins
    Some plugins can generate excessive CPU usage. Review plugin performance regularly.
14. Block XML-RPC If Not Needed
    Disabling xmlrpc.php can reduce certain types of spam and automated attacks.
