Website hosting for WordPress – FAQ
What exactly is a blog for WordPress?
WordPress is the most common web publishing platform and the most used content management system in the world: 30 percent of all websites are created and maintained with this CMS. This makes up a market share of more than 60 percent in the CMS sector. Although the figures speak for themselves, it's hard not to wonder why WordPress is so popular.
The CMS mostly owes its success to its ease of use and its comprehensive modification possibilities. The source code is open source and a large community has therefore developed countless – and mostly free – themes, plugins, widgets and tools. These technology and design options enhance the system's range of functions. Beginners and professionals alike can enjoy a wide range of applications and development opportunities that allow them to work efficiently and conveniently with the system.
The domain of WordPress is the blog (abbreviation of 'weblog'). The software was originally developed for the creation and management of the 'internet diary'. The software makes it extremely easy to set up, manage and maintain blogs as well as complex websites with and without an online shop, thanks to extensions.

Why is a special hosting service for WordPress required?
With the popular Content Management System (CMS), you can design, manage and publish blog articles or website content easily and intuitively. By choosing professional blog hosting for WordPress with an experienced provider like IONOS, you can combine these features with a comprehensive technical service. There is no need for you to invest in a powerful and secure server infrastructure – you rent one so that you can spend more time on your blog for WordPress. We take care of the maintenance and security for you, and keep the technical infrastructure up to date.
Setting up your own blog is quick and easy:
- Choose your domain
- Install WordPress in just a few clicks

Once setup is complete, start on the design and content of your blog. If you have any questions, our support team is available around-the-clock via phone.
The quality of the hosting service plays a very important role. That's why we have optimised our service especially for WordPress, making your content available within seconds. This saves your website visitors time spent waiting for pages to load and has a positive effect on the Google ranking of the site, as fast-loading websites rank better than slow ones.
Who is WordPress most suited to?
The content management system is easy to customise and is ideal for:
- Bloggers
- Companies
- Agencies
- eCommerce companies
Bloggers are the typical target group for WordPress, and the content management system was primarily developed with blogs in mind. It is one of the most popular CMS in the blogosphere. Both small and large companies and agencies benefit from its flexibility. From company websites and portfolios to brand showcases and online shops, just about any project can be completed with the popular CMS.

Is the IONOS version different from others?
No. The Version of WordPress at IONOS does not differ from the version that can be found on the official WordPress site.
By choosing IONOS as your provider, you will automatically start with the newest version of the software and your WordPress will receive automatic updates to ensure it is up to date at all times. There are no differences between the two when it comes to functionality. IONOS customers benefit from a comprehensive service including round-the-clock support for any questions or problems that arise, automatic updates, high-speed servers and high-tech security. All your data will be protected by IONOS's high security standards.
The customisation possibilities of both varieties are identical. Users can install the same plugins, themes and widgets that are also available with other hosting providers. By choosing web hosting for WordPress with IONOS, you can concentrate on the essentials – a great design for your website and first-class content for your brand-new digital adventure. We will look after everything else.
Can I use the Gutenberg editor? Are the themes provided by IONOS compatible?
The answer to both questions is yes. The Gutenberg editor is available as a plugin and can be installed at any time with just a few clicks. All of the themes for WordPress offered by IONOS are compatible with the Gutenberg editor.
Try it out and enjoy using WordPress even more easily and conveniently than before. Install posts and pages or build a whole new website, shaping your online site to your needs and requirements. If you're not happy with the Gutenberg editor, you can switch back to the classic editor at any time – or use another editor, which can be just as easily integrated into your WordPress installation by plugin.
