The second article in the series, “Why Use Wordpress,” was an in-depth look at one of the CMS’s that we discussed in the first post – WordPress. We discussed why WordPress should be your CMS of choice.

Getting Started
This week is a quick and easy look at three hosting providers that I recommend you look into when trying to decide which server to use to host your WordPress blog. I have worked with all three of these providers for a few years, and time and time again am impressed by their customer service, great rates, and uptime. Notice that I said customer service first, because they all provide excellent customer service.
So when picking a host for your new or even existing WordPress blog/website, I recommend you take a look at these three hosts:
