Jonathan T.: Hi, I'm Jonathan. I am the owner of a creative and web design studio, and my review of WordPress is that it's five stars. Prior to WordPress, boy, I have used all sorts of different things. Different builders built into other platforms, like Kajabi or Wix, Squarespace, all of those, even some old ones back in the day, like Homestead, and even just straight on up HTML. I've moved all of my development into WordPress because it is just easy. It's a heck of a web standard. Runs, I think, over a third of websites on the internet. There's a plugin for everything, so if it doesn't do it out of the box, somebody else has probably thought of that already for me, so it's easy to plug in new features that I need. I've really found my groove with a great theme and builder combo that I can use quickly and easily to have great results. WordPress, well, back when I got started, there was a little bit more to it years and years and years ago. But these days, boy, it is easy to get started with it. There's so much more built-in functionality right out of the box, and I'd say most people can get going on a WordPress site. And then as you learn more, you can add more functionalities, you get more comfortable with it, and then you can really make some great stuff with it. If you are considering using WordPress for your business, I'd say take a look at what you need your site to do. Is it just that front-facing kind of brochure site? Do you need membership? Do you need people logging in? Do you need to sell things? All of those are, of course, possible with WordPress, but you just need to understand what functionalities might you need to add in with plugins, themes, and all that things. And then also consider finding a good builder that, depending how your brain works, can make designing pages in your site a whole lot easier, more straightforward, and there are some pretty powerful tools out there that can really make it a breeze.

Charles: Hi, I'm Charles. I'm a real estate agent. And I chose Hostinger, and I give it a rating of five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. I considered using other competitors like GoDaddy, but ultimately I went with Hostinger because it was a lot more simplified and easier for one person like me. As an admin, I had to be able to manage it efficiently. For being a novice when it comes to web designing and hosting, Hostinger really broke it down into really easy, small size pieces for me to be able to learn and grow as I go. And as well, it's one of the best values that I've been able to find on the internet in terms of the service and the cost. It was actually very easy to onboard and integrate Hostinger because for me, I didn't really need to detach myself from other complicated systems. I was starting fresh with Hostinger and being a new person in this game, it was really easy to just follow the instructions and be able to put it together, and it worked out flawlessly. What I recommend for anyone considering using Hostinger is to take them up on their promotions and their trial offers if you can. There's really no risk in giving it a trial for a few weeks, for a month and really comparing it, and you can even move your site from one host to another if you really need to compare their speed and the service. But at the end of the day, I settled on Hostinger just because it was a great balance of service with very little cost compared to other competitors.
