Digital Marketing Resources
These are some of the primary resources which I use on a regular basis and find really helpful. Hopefully you can try some of them out too! As always, let me know if you have any questions and I will help you out!
Website Hosting
Bluehost
Bluehost has been hosting websites since the early 2000s. They offer WordPress hosting and managed WordPress hosting services. I have used their services many times, and they are perfect for anyone or a new business startup on a real tight budget.
Their price ranges from $2.95 to $27.95 per month (it is a longer-term commitment, and you must pay upfront). You always get the newest version of WordPress, along with an SSL certificate (this is a must) and a free domain name for a year.
If you also have any questions, they have a 24-hour support line and chat to help you out.
WP Engine
WP Engine is another WordPress hosting company, but they are higher end and take hosting to the next level 🔥. Their hosting is high-speed and reliable. It is trusted by some huge companies ( Marriott Hotels, Petco, Yelp, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation).
From WP Engine, you can expect one-click staging, free website migrations, free SSL + SSH certificates, advanced security, disaster recovery, and premium 24/7/365 support.
In my opinion, this is definitely the best choice if you are looking for high-quality, top-of-the-line, and hassle-free hosting services.
