I’m not going to discuss any of the alternatives to Wordpress in this post because I’ve not tried any.

Everyone also told me to switch asap from Hostgator to Siteground, which I did. In my experience, both companies did the exact same thing. Sorry, Hostgator.
Now that I know about affiliate programmes (Siteground’ll chuck you £60 if someone makes a sale through your link), I’d probably have conducted my own research, but the advice has served me well.
