First met in lwp-elementor-s01 · Backend, hosting & code
LWP's two recommended WordPress hosts: Hostinger the beginner-friendly value pick, SiteGround the more premium one — both with the free-subdomain feature the method leans on.
Hosting WordPress with full plugin freedom at sane prices — against wordpress.com and Elementor Hosting, both refused by the course.
Free subdomains by the hundred: the staging-and-portfolio mechanism of the LWP workflow
WordPress-optimized packages under $10/mo (promo pricing)
Stores and serves site files; provides subdomains, email, WP-optimized stacks
Doesn't lock your page builder (the Elementor Hosting objection) or limit plugins (the wordpress.com objection)
The bottom layer: files live here; WordPress manages them; domains point here.
Backend, hosting & code
Course recommendation; Paul's hosting choices are his own.
Subdomain-as-staging maps to any site migration Paul runs, including TanStack upgrades.
