I have run a number of WordPress installations on a server my nephew, Daniel, hosts but for the first time I am hosting this installation myself. On the recommendation of Matt Dukes I opted for a hosting company called 34SP and their new ‘Professional Hosting’ package. I buy my domain names from LCN and found no difficulty in pointing this one, terrywassall.org, to the 34SP name servers. Once I had signed up to 34SP and changed the name server details for the domain with LCN I got access to the admin panel within the hour. I was relieved to find it was the Plesk application I am used to that is provided by Daniel’s hosting service.  Consequently creating the WordPress database and database user and installing WordPress was a breeze, as usual. So far all has been straightforward and the package of LCN plus 34SP looks like a good one.
