Server speed matters more than disk space

Most WordPress sites use under 2GB of disk space. What determines WordPress performance is CPU, RAM, and web server technology. 0724 Hosting uses LiteSpeed Web Server, which handles WordPress significantly faster than Apache β€” particularly for cached pages and traffic spikes.

PHP version support

WordPress performs better on recent PHP versions. Check that your host supports PHP 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 and allows you to select the PHP version per account. DirectAdmin with PHP selector allows this.

Database performance

WordPress stores all content in MySQL. A slow or overloaded database is a common cause of a slow WordPress site. On shared hosting, the quality of the server environment matters β€” fewer sites per server means better performance.

WordPress email deliverability

WordPress sends email for contact forms, WooCommerce orders, and notifications. By default it uses PHP mail, which is often blocked or sent to spam. Configure WordPress to send via authenticated SMTP using your hosted email account. Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC on your domain for best deliverability. See the SPF, DKIM and DMARC guide for details.

SSL and HTTPS

WordPress requires HTTPS. All 0724 Hosting Web + Mail plans include free auto-renewing SSL. Ensure your WordPress site URL settings use https:// to avoid mixed content warnings.
