Ninth analysis of the WordPress hosting comparison, in which we analyze the provider Arsys, with its Advanced Hosting plan.
Both in this analysis, and in the rest of the , we have analyzed seven basic sections:
- contracted plan: Characteristics of it by choosing a basic plan that allows working with WordPress.
- Recruitment process: We look at complexity, the information we receive, and payment options.
- Information process after purchase: We have already paid and we analyze what information is received as well as if it makes life easier (or complicates it for us).
- WordPress installation: We use the automated installer and see what they install for us and the pros and cons.
- Tests and tests: Using different services we know the speed and security.
- Technical support: We create different bugs and analyze the time and quality of the response.
- Return: Some hostings have a satisfaction guarantee or similar, we value the ease or difficulty of their processing.
In each of these sections we have evaluated different variables, scoring from 1 to 3, according to the following criteria:
- 1 point: It can be better
- 2 points: Correct
- 3 points: Okay
This analysis does not have any affiliate links (in fact it does not even have links) and has been done without any notice to the provider. You have simply proceeded to buy a shared domain and hosting plan and analyze it.
contracted plan
The chosen plan is Advanced Linux Hosting. The price for the first year is excellent, but you have to take into account the renewal price is much higher.

Hiring Process
That they give you the domain with a monthly contract is a pretty strong bet and is appreciated.
In the contracting process, the subscription to the newsletter is checked by default, when it should be unchecked.
Also note that the payment gateway does not show confirmation and is a bit confusing, but the activation of the domain is immediate.

WordPress installation in Arsys
