The easy way to host a WordPress site
WordPress hosting for beginners, explained in plain steps: what you need, how to go live, and a ten-minute monthly routine that keeps your site healthy. Already running WordPress elsewhere? We'll ask us about moving it.
What you need to run WordPress
WordPress itself is free. To put it online you need three things:
- A domain name — the address people type
- Hosting — a server that runs WordPress and stores your content
- An SSL certificate — so logins show the padlock
ResellerBytes gives you all three in one account. Every plan includes a free SSL certificate, and you can register your domain at the same checkout.
From nothing to a live site
Five plain steps. Our getting-started guide covers each one in more detail.
- Choose a plan and a domain
- Install WordPress on your hosting account
- Add your first pages and check SSL on every page
- Make your first backup before you install extra plugins
Already have a WordPress site?
Ask us about moving after you order. Open a ticket with access to your current host. We copy your site across, you check it on our servers, then switch your domain when you are ready.
A ten-minute monthly routine
Most WordPress problems come from things left alone too long.
Back up first
Download a backup before you update, so you have a restore point if something goes wrong.
Update in order
Update WordPress, then plugins, then your theme — one at a time.
Remove unused code
Delete plugins and themes you do not use. Inactive code can still be exploited.
Check the live site
Look at your site on your phone and test the contact form once a month.

Agency guideWhat is the easiest way to host a WordPress site?
Choose a host that supports WordPress, register a domain, install WordPress, and make sure SSL is on. With ResellerBytes, the domain, hosting, and free SSL certificate are in one account, and our getting-started guide walks through each step. If you already have a site, we'll ask us about moving it.
Do I need special hosting for WordPress?
No. WordPress runs on standard Linux web hosting, and every ResellerBytes SSD plan can host it. What matters most is that the host includes SSL and malware scanning, and that you have a way to back up and restore your site. Our plans include free SSL and daily malware scanning, with an optional backup add-on.
Can I move my WordPress site to ResellerBytes?
Yes. Ask us about moving your site is included on every SSD plan. Open a ticket after you order with access to your current host, and our team copies your site across. You check the site before your domain switches, so visitors don't land on a half-moved site.
Which plan is best for a WordPress beginner?
Starter, if you're running one blog or portfolio. It includes free SSL, daily malware scanning, and five email addresses on your domain. Choose Business if the site is for a company with staff email or if you plan to sell online.
