SiteGround for Hosting

We recommend SiteGround because of its performance (uptime and speed), friendly support in many languages, more advanced (free) backup options, pricing transparency including free SSL Certificate, and the different available data centers (servers) in 4 continents: USA, Europe, Australia and Asia.

SiteGround recently launched a plugin to make WordPress sites more secure. It comes with interesting features like 2-factor authentication for WordPress (I can’t believe this is not a core feature of WordPress yet), and the possibility to limit the number of login attempts. It also provides some protection against hackers gaining access to WordPress sites. 

It’s no wonder that Divi teamed up with SiteGround to provide a secure hosting platform that is configured to meet all of Divi’s requirements and is supported by a team of WordPress professionals.

Divi by Elegant Themes

Page builders have come a long way — and Divi, in particular is too good to ignore. If you haven’t heard of Divi, it is a powerful page builder with limitless design possibilities. It is actually a design framework intended for designers rather than a development framework for developers.

Divi’s precoded modules are configured by the designer using a GUI (graphical user interface), rather than code. However, Divi does not preclude a web developer from writing/using custom code when necessary.

Currently, there are over 800 pre-made website layouts come packaged right inside of Divi for free. Brand new layouts are added weekly along with royalty free photos, icons, and illustrations.

It is as flexible as WordPress making it easy to use for those that want to maintain their websites in-house.
