You Want a Site That Supports MySQL and PHP.  A cPanel control panel system is not required, but preferred by most any professional working with new Web 2.0 websites and development.  Just because a Company Has a “Control Panel,” Does Not Mean That it Has a Cpanel.  A Dedicated Ip Number is Advantageous for Professionalism for Business Websites, but Sites on Shared IPs Function Just as Well in Most Cases.  It is Harder to FInd a Dedicated Offering, So Pay Close Attention to the Suggestions of the Companies Above. The Suggestions Above are Based on What We Know Will Save You Money and Give You a Valuable and Reliable Hosting Account.  You Might Find Otherwise That it Will be More Expensive to Get a Designer to Adapt to the Environment Offered by a Host Outside the Norm. We Can Often Work With Non-cPanel or Other Companies (Should You Have Paid in Advance) LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP.  This is an acronym for the popular operating, server, database and coding platform systems.  This is the environment that WP is designed for and operates within.

Hosting Terms Explained

Virtual Host - A Non-Dedicated Server Arrangement, Usually With a Shared IP by Many Users.

IP - An IP Number is Basically Your Numerical Web Address on the Web for Your Website (in the case of a website).  It Attaches to Your Domain Name by Use of a DNS or Domain Name Server…Often Referred to as a “Nameserver”

Dedicated IP - One IP Number Which is Dedicated to or Attached to a Specific Website (without sharing with the hosting companies other users.  This is Often Shown as a Dedicated Server When Checking to See Who Owns a Website Through Whois Searches.  It is Believed, However, Not Proven, That a Dedicated IP is Viewed Better by the Search Engines.  It is Definitely the Most Professional Way to Host a Business Website.

Shared IP - This is When One Hosting Company Partitions an IP Number Between a Group of Users Rather Than Assigning a Dedicated Number.
