										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When people hear the name WordPress they normally associate it with blogging but other people think of it as a community that is very similar to Blogger or even Tumblr. The truth is that WordPress also powers over 22% of the internet and this includes blogs, informational article sites and eCommerce sites as well. In fact, Ebay is a WordPress site as well, so you can already start to see how it has made a difference to the way that we do business on a day to day basis.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-3135 aligncenter" src="https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/photo-1448932223592-d1fc686e76ea-1024x684.jpeg" alt="photo-1448932223592-d1fc686e76ea" width="640" height="428" srcset="https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/photo-1448932223592-d1fc686e76ea-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/photo-1448932223592-d1fc686e76ea-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/photo-1448932223592-d1fc686e76ea-768x513.jpeg 768w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/photo-1448932223592-d1fc686e76ea-1536x1026.jpeg 1536w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/photo-1448932223592-d1fc686e76ea-2048x1368.jpeg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p>But that brings around the question, why is WordPress so popular? It&#8217;s all because it&#8217;s easy to set up and you only need to do a few clicks in order to get your site up and running. It is incredibly powerful and it has plenty of themes as well so it is true when they say that you will never run out of options. With WordPress you can publish content with ease and you can also create administrators as well and these will have access to your site when you want them to. Of course, another reason why WordPress is so popular is because of the plugins. These offer you many different functionalities and they also offer you different features and the best thing is that you can install all of this on your site without any coding required.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3120 aligncenter" src="https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_80651328_s-20151.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" srcset="https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_80651328_s-20151.jpg 500w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_80651328_s-20151-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_80651328_s-20151-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_80651328_s-20151-80x80.jpg 80w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_80651328_s-20151-50x50.jpg 50w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_80651328_s-20151-120x120.jpg 120w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>WordPress does come with some security concerns and there are concerns about its compatibility as well. Hackers often target WordPress because they know how popular it is and they also know that a lot of people don&#8217;t update their sites as much as they should. If you want to avoid being targeted by hackers then you need to make sure that you continually update your software as well as making sure that you have a very strong password in place. You should also note that even though you don&#8217;t need to know about coding to have a WP site, you do need code if you want to make any specific changes and if you don&#8217;t know how to do this properly then you could cause errors in the navigation of the site and you could also compromise it in general in terms of your usability.</p>
<p>So as you can see, WordPress isn&#8217;t without its flaws but it is still one of the best website building platforms out there. You will also find that there is plenty of information as well and this is because so many people use it on a day to day basis. One place that you could check for information would be on the WordPress forums and this is a great way to get the answers you need.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may remember the days of dialup internet and you may also remember the time when there were glittering icons and flashing buttons that would direct people around your website. The truth is that when you look back, you notice that this was far from professional and it also shows us how much times have changed as well. Luckily most sites are a lot cleaner now and it is safe to say that they are easier to navigate as well. With mobile becoming the new desktop, it&#8217;s time to explore the concept that websites may once again be becoming outdated.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3147 aligncenter" src="https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_1149100_m-2015.jpg" alt="Computer screen macro.Shallow depth of field" width="500" height="335" srcset="https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_1149100_m-2015.jpg 999w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_1149100_m-2015-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_1149100_m-2015-768x514.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>By now you may have heard of the term &#8220;mobilegeddon&#8221;. This term relates to the amount of hassle that website owners have to go through if their site is not optimised for mobile use. In fact, Google has even gone as far to remove sites that are not suitable so if you notice that your traffic has taken a sudden dip then this could well be the reason why. Luckily Google has uploaded a very simple tool that shows you if your site is suitable for mobile use or not, but failing this, you could just go on to your site to see if there is a mobile friendly button. If your site isn&#8217;t mobile friendly after all however, then you&#8217;ll be glad to know that there are things that you can do. For example, if you are on WordPress or Joomla then you could install a plugin that gives you an instantly usable mobile version of your website.</p>
<p>If you did not make your website by using a CMS then you still do have plenty of options available. For example, you could just create a brand new website that arranges the content to fit the size of the screen. One disadvantage of this is that you would need to replicate the functionality of your old one and this can be incredibly difficult. Failing this, you could just create an M site. This only appears when someone is browsing on a mobile and it is very different to your standard desktop site. You may find that it has a different look and feel and you may also find that you can duplicate any updates that you might need to make to your original site as well. On top of this, you will also find that you can have it coded and that you can take content from your site before converting it for your mobile alternative. If you want an easier option then you could just go for the app. This is ideal if you have online ordering or anything else that is related, not to mention that they are great for taking your business to that very next level.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3129 size-full aligncenter" src="https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_77053627_s-2015.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_77053627_s-2015" width="500" height="303" srcset="https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_77053627_s-2015.jpg 500w, https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/Depositphotos_77053627_s-2015-300x182.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>Of course, mobile apps are more expensive when compared to the above options but they can be submitted to both the Google Play and App store with ease so you really don&#8217;t have anything to worry about.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A website hosting service allows you to publish your website on the internet so it can be viewed by people across the world. If you go with a website hosting company then you will notice that they buy, or lease companies through data centres which are all connected to the internet. They then sell this space to website owners, so all you need to do is pay a very small fee every month if you want to access this service. One thing that you should know is that website hosting providers generally offer much more than just server space. In fact, a lot of them give you a full package so you can get all the tools you need for your site. You will also find that you get a control panel and this gives you the chance to set up your email address and your FTP access as well. Of course, on top of this you can also access backups, statistics, shopping carts and other scripts with free domains being a standard offering.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-3142 aligncenter" src="https://www.powersurge.net/wp-content/uploads/psbanner4.jpg" alt="psbanner4" width="300" height="250" /></p>
<p>With shared hosting, you will also find that you don&#8217;t actually need to have any administration skills and you will also be able to access full and complete technical support as well. This helps to keep your site up and running so you know you can always count on them to give you a solid experience from start to finish.</p>
<p>Of course, there are plenty of other website hosting options available because with shared hosting, you do compromise the security of your site in general but by looking into the options that are available you can be sure to make the right decision for both your site and your business.</p>
<p>For the Best WordPress web hosting experience check out PowerSurge.net’s multiple plan offerings.  We don&#8217;t skimp on package sizes, our servers are WordPress optimized and our experienced technical staff is very knowledgeable on WordPress and what you need to get the most from it.  (and we are available 24-7!)</p>
