Nestify.io – High Performance WordPress Hosting [Review]

Undoubtedly WordPress is one of the number one CMS platform choice of many bloggers, marketers, and even small businesses to build their websites. So many websites are being built in WordPress that themes, plugins and other features are constantly improving in a lot of ways. Themes are getting more sophisticated, new features, getting responsive, and plugins never stop from being developed to further enhance WordPress functionalities. The success of WordPress is indeed remarkable and as everything around it is getting much more demanding, so are the hosting requirements to make sure that all those “nice things” do not hamper your websites performance. After all, when someone lands into your site, both on desktop or on mobile, you want to be sure they stick around for a bit.

With that said, here’s a quick question – do you know what ticks off people when they visit your site? I don’t know about you but in my case, I grow very impatient when a site loads slowly. The experience that I have when visiting other fast sites is so good that even if I want to read an article from a slow loading site, I will probably just look for something else related elsewhere. Whoa… Did you notice what I just said? Look for it elsewhere – that means I leave your site before I even have the chance to see what you have to offer. This behavior is not unique to me, as most of the people out there are now as demanding, if not more, than me.

Long story short. WordPress is great, but it does not work alone. Slow loading WordPress sites suck and it is bad for user experience (UX). Bad UX = Bad rankings on search engines. As you can probably figure out by now, slow loading website is simply a thing from the past.

So, how do we make WordPress faster? Well, aside from reading some tips I provide here and here, the biggest single solution is web hosting. A web hosting specially designed and created to host WordPress powered sites with high performance speed. You probably know that there are many hosting companies out there that offer such services. Sadly, most of them are complicated to use and more importantly, quite expensive. So, would it not be ideal to have a super fast loading WordPress powered site, while at the same time being affordable and having a great support?

Nestify.Io

Enter Nestify.io, a high performance WordPress hosting application that will blow your mind when you see how it performs. I have many hosting accounts and even sites powered with CDN. I can tell you now with a high degree of certainty, that none of them can match the speed of some experimental sites I just launched to test Nestify. Take a look a this speed test.

Obviously, depending on other factors like the speed of your internet connection, the device you are using to browse, etc., site speed loading may vary. Although it is a test site, it has a lot of dummy content in it. If you want to see how Nestify works live on this site, head over here, play around and come back. Really, come back as there is a surprise towards the end of this post.

And if you are thinking, how about its ease of use? Well, I have to admit that some months ago, when I first had contact with Nestify, things were not as easy user friendly as I was expecting it to be. I even made some suggestions to the owner of the service and fast forward some 60 days later, he sent me the following in an email.

• All issues with plugin uploads are fixed for current and new users
• WordPress performance is improved further
• WordPress core, themes and plugins can now be updated with single click button from dashboard
• All operations are documented on new support portal
• Users can contact support and browse help articles right from dashboard or from the help page
• Databases can be managed via phpMyAdmin from dashboard
• A detailed guide for DNS changes is now available, so users can point their domains to wordpress more easily.

…and last but not least, you can sign up for their weekly newsletter to receive wordpress security news and a list of top malicious hosts that should be blocked. More information about the newsletter is available at http://eepurl.com/by_u5f
