WordPress hosting is frequently sought by businesses looking to get their online presence started on the net because of the versatility of this dynamic software package.

WordPress started life as blog software, and today it still is. But its capabilities to offer static pages, the availability of a marketplace to purchase fantastic designs, and a huge array of both free and commercial plugins, make WordPress a serious option for any content-based website.

All Geekz Australia web hosting accounts include a quick installer for WordPress websites so you can get up and running with a stable installation with little hassle in just minutes. The standard WordPress admin panel includes automatic-version upgrades of both the core software and extensions in its admin panel. This means that even if the snapshot set up by the automatic installer isn’t the latest available version, you can still get your site up and running, and up-to-date with little hassle or intervention by yourself. It’s simply easy.

Once installed, you can then get started with your blog website or content site by:

• Adding content pages
• Writing blog posts
• Adding galleries
• Optimising your page for search engines (SEO)
• Blogging – getting and reviewing comments on your posts
• Building website popularity through social networking tools like Twitter and Facebook
• Setting up simple online shops
• Securing your site (a necessity!)

Geekz offers a number of services for our customers signing up for our paid hosting packages and using WordPress – including commenting on our favourite plugins that you may wish to use, providing assistance with moving your WordPress website from another provider, choosing the right security plugins for your needs, and reviewing the setup of your site.
