Yes, you can use regular web hosting to host a WordPress website, as long as it supports PHP and a MySQL or MariaDB database. Most shared hosting plans include one-click WordPress installers, making setup easy for beginners. Regular hosting works well for blogs, business sites, and small stores when traffic is moderate. However, performance and security depend on the host’s quality and configuration. Managed WordPress hosting can be faster and safer because it includes caching, automatic updates, backups, and WordPress-specific support. If you choose regular hosting, pick a reliable provider, enable SSL, keep plugins updated, and use backups and security plugins.
