Good news, website owners: The software that powers upward of 25% of websites is free and open for public enjoyment and customization! WordPress is ready for download at WordPress.org, and the team is actively maintaining its core code. So long as you stay current with your WP software versions and install plugins with caution, the site-building possibilities and benefits of WordPress are seemingly endless.
It should come as no surprise that many of the web's most trusted hosts have zeroed in on the popularity of WordPress, offering single-click installations for the software and WordPress-specific optimizations for performance, security, and support.
Once you get up and running with a WordPress host, you can choose from thousands of free and paid themes — premade website templates that expedite your site design process, allowing you to skip to the content and customization. For a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) experience, we recommend installing BoldGrid, a site builder tool that layers on top of the WordPress platform to create a drag-and-drop site builder environment. InMotion will install BoldGrid for you at checkout as well, making WordPress setup a non-issue.
Incorporating additional plugins, apps, and scripts extends the robust functionality of the WordPress interface. From calendar widgets to page caching for performance, there's essentially a plugin for every WordPress need. Integrating payment processing tools, such as Shopify and PayPal, converts your traditional site into a transaction-ready virtual marketplace. Cultivate a following with commenting apps, like Disqus, and link your social media accounts. What's more, WordPress hosts often throw in free paid search advertising credits to help you kickstart your marketing efforts.
WordPress remains the most popular platform for building a beautiful online presence from scratch. It's relied on by hosting novices and seasoned developers alike, and we're confident the software, matched with InMotion Hosting hardware, will deliver everything you need to establish and grow your next website.

Do you care enough about your WordPress site — its security, scalability, load time, and uptime — to spend around $20, or more, per month on it? If you answered "yes," then WP Engine is a fine choice! You've come to the right place.
While WP Engine's price tag will scare off many, those who know WordPress, and the power that comes when the forces of WordPress and WP Engine combine, will likely praise the robustness of the WP Engine platform. Always updated with the latest hardware to maximize server performance, WP Engine boasts a market-leading software layer built exclusively for WordPress. This includes a proprietary caching system to ensure minimal page load times for visitors, a one-click development staging area, and around-the-clock security monitoring for your site.
Installing WordPress, setting up a theme, and moving a site from production to publication is simple for beginners. More experienced users will appreciate the single-click development staging areas, Git integration, choice of server locations, CDN compatibility, and other niceties. These features make the higher-end monthly price worthwhile, in my humble opinion.
Plus, there's my personal favorite feature: the built-in caching system. This feature allows WP Engine sites to outperform almost all other WordPress sites without the use of plugins. This means you can focus more on your content and design and let the experts at WP Engine focus on maintaining your site's ridiculously great performance.
