Many of you may be thinking of signing up for a Japanese web hosting. So, in this article, to help you solve these problems, I, who have used a number of Japanese web hosts, will show you how to choose a web host and what web hosts are recommended for beginners. Can you use WordPress? If you want to use a web host to publish your blog, you first need to create the blog itself. WordPress is a tool that makes it easy to create a website, and it’s basically free to use. In fact, it is so famous that 33% of the world’s websites are made with WordPress, so it is recommended by many people who know about it. By the way, this blog is also written using WordPress.
The reasons why I recommend it are as follows:
1. Basically, it’s free
The web host is a paid service, but WordPress is basically free to use
within the web host. Therefore, you can take on the challenge of
“trying it out first” with no risk.
2. Available on almost all web host
Since it is a tool that is used by many people, most of the web host providers have made it available to use WordPress as of 2021. In other words, whether you can use WordPress or not does not limit your
choice of web host. However, please be aware that some of the cheaper servers do not allow WordPress in their specifications.
3. There are many users, so it is easy to get know-how (information)
WordPress is a free service, and there is no support. Therefore, if you have trouble using it, you have to look it up in books or on the Internet and deal with it by yourself. As I mentioned earlier, as of 2021, WordPress is used on 33% of the world’s websites, so there are many users and a huge amount of information. If you are new to WordPress, the amount of information available should be very helpful.
