Get started with WordPress! Deciding on a rental server is crucial!

How to start managing a WordPress blog or websiteContracting a domain and a hosting companyYou must upload the original files to the rental server you have contracted, and then the page will be published as a homepage and you can start managing your website. The first thing you will worry about when you start managing a WordPress blog or website is choosing a rental server.

The most common stumbling point for beginners when managing a WordPress blog or website isThe first step is deciding on a rental server.It is common for people to worry about this and give up.

There are many different hosting companies out there, so which one should you sign a contract with? You compare them. You worry and worry...Have you ever given up on running your WordPress blog or website?

I have created many WordPress sites and given private WordPress lessons to over 400 people, and I would like to compare and recommend the rental servers that my clients have contracted from my own perspective!

First, let's compare the data on rental server contracts for 2022.

As you can see

  1. XServer
  2. Lolipop
  3. Sakura Internet Server

In fact, as far as I know, the number of rental server contracts is highest in this order.
I had thought that the people around me were the only ones with a high number of XServer subscriptions, so I felt a bit relieved to see these statistics being made public.

What is the recommended hosting service for WordPress?

We have many opportunities to log in to various people's rental servers, so we'd like to introduce three rental servers that HanamiWEB personally recommends!

A well-known server that is used by many people provides peace of mind for those who are starting to run a WordPress blog or website for the first time.

No.1! Xserver

  • WordPress available
  • From 900 yen/month (200GB)
  • Free SSL available

▼▼We are currently running a free domain campaign▼▼

RegularlyDMain Lifetime Free Campaignis being held! It's still being held!

Xserver is more suitable for those who want to increase the volume of their website and take SEO measures to attract customers by creating a WordPress site in earnest, rather than those who have just tried making a homepage! I want to acquire multiple domains, create multiple WordPress sites, and post various information!

Sakura's rental server LollipopFast site transfer speedIt is also stable. They also provide support by phone and email, so they will guide you carefully until the problem is resolved.

It also comes with an automatic backup function, so it's a bargain at this price!

In addition, it is safe for those who operate WordPress sites using other companies' servers.Server migration support featuresthere is!

Xserver launched the "Server Migration Service in as little as 5 minutes" in December 2018. Until now, server migration was generally done by outsourcing to a company, but with this new service, even individuals can easily complete server migration in just 5 minutes.

There are virtually no failures and server migration can be completed with just a few clicks.

Xserver is running a 10-day free trial campaign, so we recommend you sign up and give it a try!

Since many people later on switch to Xserver, we recommend that you sign up for a server contract with Xserver from the beginning!

No.2! Lollipop

  • WordPress available
  • Starting from 550 yen/month (200GB)
  • Free SSL available

If you're looking for a low-priced option, Lollipops are also popular!

▼You can apply for a 10-day free trial by clicking the link below▼

Many people apply for this service together with MuuMuuDomain. It also gives them peace of mind knowing that it is operated by GMO!

I wrote an article explaining the steps to sign up for Lolipop!

Please use this as reference if you are considering signing up for Lolipop.

No.3! Sakura Rental Server

  • WordPress available
  • Starting from 515 yen per month (100GB)
  • Free SSL available


I highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking about starting a small business.Low-cost rental serveris.

Best of all, you can start using our extremely affordable plans starting from just 129 yen.

Please note that this 129 yen plan does not include WordPress.

For those who want to use WordPress, the standard plan costs 515 yen per month.

I used Sakura's rental server standard plan in the past, but I have now migrated my server to xserver's x10 plan.

We are currently running a two-week free trial, so why not take this opportunity to try it out and get a feel for the admin screen and other features?

Comparing the three recommended rental server companies for beginners introduced above

xserverSakura Rental ServerLollipop
Plan namex10Standardhigh speed
price990 yen524 yen550 yen
storage300GB100GB320GB

WordPress can be used on any server. In addition, it comes with a quick installation function as standard, so even beginners can easily use WordPress.

Lolipop has reduced the price of its high-speed plan, which was 1,100 yen, to 550 yen.

Our own free SSL is also included as standard.

What you can't learn from the specs of a rental server

When comparing the specs of the three server companies, you can see that xserver or Lolipop is better, right?

When installing WordPress on Sakura Rental Server, it is installed into a folder called wp, such as https://●●.com/wp, which requires the trouble of changing the site address.

Since it requires operation using a file manager, it is not recommended in terms of being easy for beginners to get started with.

Comparison of support status for rental servers

When I contact xserver by email, I get a quick response, and they always give me polite replies.
If you contact Sakura Rental Server by email, you will receive a prompt reply and attentive support.

This may have been a while ago, but I was turned away many times by Lolipop, who told me that they do not accept inquiries about WordPress because it is not their own service.

Based on past experience, I recommend xserver, which has thorough support.
It's really helpful to have a server that is helpful when you're in trouble.

Introducing how to sign up for the recommended rental server xserver

This may be my personal opinion, but I recommend xserver to those who are signing up for WordPress lessons or requesting website creation and who have not yet contracted a server.

Therefore, we have created a video tutorial to help those who are just starting to run a WordPress blog or website to easily go through the process of registering a server. If you are considering signing up, please take a look!

In response to customer requests, we have created a video explaining how to register for Xserver!

For those who are about to start managing a WordPress blog or website

We have introduced Xserver, Sakura Rental Server, and Lolipop. All rental servers have a free trial period. Take this opportunity to sign up for a free trial and see what a rental server is like. Please try it out for yourself.

Those who want to use their website to attract more customers →Xserver

For those who want to start at a low cost →Sakura's rental server ,Lollipop!

It is recommended!

[Bonus] About domains

You cannot publish your Ireate blog or your store's homepage with just a rental server contract. You need to acquire a domain called a unique domain, such as xxx.com.

xserver is running a free domain campaign for life

Lolipop is also running a campaign where 45 different domains are available for free forever if you sign up for a server for 12 months or more.
