You can see it in the headline: If you could only choose 5 WordPress plugins, which ones would you pick?

What I was interested in wasn’t so much the historical record of how the block editor started – back then called Gutenberg – but rather how well it’s working for people now.

I know it’s not the most exciting thing to be passionate about, but hey, don’t judge. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $5 per month for hosting over the past ten years. I’m talking about hosting my own personal website projects, not the site you’re reading this on right now – hosting this one actually costs quite a bit.

Yes, that is true…but that’s only for the first year. Once that introductory period ends, the price jumps to $17.99 per month. Over five years, you’re looking at spending around $825, and over ten years, that total climbs to about $1,900. If you’re reading this, you’re probably already aware of this and are searching for more affordable options.

The plans all seemed so similar, not just in price but in how they were presented, almost as if each one was a completely different product.

Well, “free” sounds appealing, but it might not be the best choice in the long run. Free hosting can work for temporary projects or hobbies. But for serious, long-term websites, affordable or premium web hosting services are usually better. These paid services tend to offer more reliability, security, and support, making them a good investment for your online presence.
