In addition to the criteria of PHP, MySQL databases and storage space, the following factors have played an important role in the assessment:
- Nicer URLs with mod_rewrite
On the server the Apache should have mod_rewrite enabled modules. "Nicer URLs" can be generated with this. Instead of cryptic URLs such as www.meine-domain.de?p=123 URLs can be created with easy to read file names: www.meine-domain.de/wordpress-hosting.
- Easy installation using one click Installer
Many providers offer today a one click Installer, i.e. WordPress can be installed completely with just a few mouse clicks in the admin area. This function is most useful for WordPress beginners. Advanced users do not need this function actually, WordPress installation is very easy and usually no longer than 5 minutes lasts (simple installation guide).
- Server availability
Just at commercial Web sites or ambitious Web projects, low downtime are important because downtime means often a loss of revenue. With the server-monitoring service Pingdom, I have monitored Web sites that are hosted at the four providers, for a month and every minute queried to determine so the downtime.
- Maximum memory (PHP memory limit)
The PHP memory limit is the maximum allowed disk usage in PHP script. This limit is set by the service provider and should be at least 64 MB (better 128 MB) for WordPress. It is but the more RAM the faster/better running the scripts.
