Like me, does your blog run on the Genesis Framework? Are you satisfied with your current web host? A few weeks ago I jumped ship again to Websynthesis and clearly have enough room to grow this blog very large and still be able to handle large traffic spikes that happen from time to time with no worries of my hosting account being suspended. Lately I have heard some negative reviews about HostGator and WordPress blog’s. Being on shared hosting can sometimes be your downfall. All it takes is one person on your shared server to eat up all the resources and kill the server. Gator is good if you get on the VPS or Dedicated server plan.
I have found a web host that is built for my blog or let’s just say it’s built to host ONLY genesis framework blog’s. After studying the website and all the other pages on the website, I made the decision to park my blog with Websynthesis. Yes, the price’s are high but the invested was the best thing for this blog. Now I can focus on the blog itself and never worry about my blog going down or some idiot doing illegal stuff on the shared server. I’ll mention some of the price’s plans below. (FYI, if you are a serious blogger then go with these guys)
Plans and Pricing:
- STARTER: $27 monthly
- Managed Performance VPS
- Secured Configurations
- Uptime Management
- Nightly Backups
- Genesis Framework
- Sites – 1
- Memory – shared
- Storage – 3GB
- Daily Unique Visitors – 2500
There are 4 plans in total and I will only mention 2 of them. The other ones are for large companies.
- Professional – $97 monthly
- Managed Performance VPS
- Secured Configurations
- Uptime Management
- Nightly Backups
- Genesis Framework
- Dedicated VPS
- Sites – 2
- Memory – 1gb
- Storage – 40gb
- Daily Unique Visitors – 20,000
The starter plan is the best one to pick. If your blog makes it big time then the Professional or larger packages available can suite you well. Don’t worry, Websynthesis will transfer your blog from your old host but it will cost some money to do so. There are a few custom things that they do when moving you over. With all the new security that I have, I removed cloudflare from my blog. No need to use it now that w3 total cache is installed and Websynthesis imported there recommended settings into this plugin. Now my cache plugin is set up the right way unlike last time, I couldn’t figure out the right settings since I didn’t know what type of server I was running on.
Think things over before joining web synthesis because it’s not cheap but it is worth it to move your StudioPress blog over to them.
If you are a client, please post your opinion of the service so far in the comment field below. I would love to hear feedback from other client’s.

Synthesis is too expensive for the average folks out there…and then there are some other cheaper solutions for the pro’s…
I agree with you but remember, you get what you paid for.
Not to many other web hosts can provide these premium features. http://websynthesis.com/features/
