Hosting for WordPress — FAQs
What exactly is a blog created with WordPress?
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system. Around 30% of all websites are built with WordPress, giving it more than 60% market share in the CMS space. These numbers highlight just how widely trusted and used the platform is.
A key reason for its success is ease of use. WordPress makes it simple to create, manage, and publish content, even without technical experience. At the same time, it offers extensive customization options. Because WordPress is Open Source, a global community has developed thousands of themes, plugins, widgets, and tools, many of them free. These extensions expand the platform’s functionality and give you the flexibility to build almost any type of website.
WordPress was originally designed for blogging. The term “blog” comes from “weblog,” meaning an online journal. While it was first created to publish and manage blog content, WordPress has evolved into a powerful solution for building everything from personal blogs to business websites and full online shops.
Why choose hosting optimized for WordPress?
WordPress makes it easy to design, manage, and publish blog posts or website content. When you choose professional hosting for WordPress from an experienced provider like IONOS, you combine that ease of use with reliable technical performance.

Getting started is simple:

Is the IONOS version different from others?
No. The version of WordPress offered by IONOS does not differ from the version that can be found on the official WordPress site.
By choosing IONOS as your provider, you will automatically start with the newest version of the software, and your WordPress site will receive automatic updates to ensure it is up to date at all times. There are no differences between the two when it comes to functionality. IONOS customers benefit from a comprehensive service including round-the-clock support for any questions or problems that arise, automatic updates, high-speed servers, and high-tech security.

We will look after everything else.
Can I use the Gutenberg editor? Are the themes provided by IONOS compatible?
The answer to both questions is: yes! The Gutenberg editor is available as a plugin and can be installed at any time with just a few clicks. All of the themes for WordPress offered by IONOS are compatible with the Gutenberg editor.
Try it out and enjoy managing your WordPress site even more easily and comfortably than before. Create posts and pages or build a whole new website, shaping your online presence to your needs and requirements. Should the Gutenberg editor not satisfy you, you can switch back to the Classic Editor at any time—or use another editor of your choice, which can be just as easily integrated via plugin into your installation of WordPress.
