From WordPress Basics to Shopping Malls Course

hello!
This is instructor Kim Myeong-jun.

Since the beginning of last year, I have been consistently answering questions related to WordPress on Naver Knowledge iN.

I'm sharing some good content that I think will be helpful to those learning WordPress.

question :

Hello experts,

I'm writing this because I need advice.

Currently, I am running a simple company shopping mall with WordPress. In fact, sales are mainly made on Coupang, Naver, etc., and the shopping mall has basic features such as Naver Pay and PG, but currently, I am using it as a brochure when meeting customers offline rather than for sales.

I am planning to use the homepage as a shopping mall from this year. However, the hosting I am using is too slow in Korea, so I am thinking of changing the hosting company. (Expires early February this year / Domain maintenance)

The hosting I am using is Bluehost, and I am thinking of changing to Amazon or Cafe24. However, before changing the hosting, I would like to know if changing the hosting will affect the Naver Pay, (WordPress) paid plugins, and PG company that I was using on Bluehost.

I have only watched various lectures and built a WordPress shopping mall, so there are many shortcomings and I do not know much about specialized fields. So I plan to get help from experts when I transfer hosting this time. However, I am wondering if there will be any impact on things I was using in the existing hosting (Naver Pay, paid plugins, PG company, etc.) before transferring. I think it will be too complicated if I change these things...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer:

hello.

This is instructor Myungjun Kim, who has been working as a former web programmer/web designer/web planner/web marketer/web project manager for over 10 years and has been teaching WordPress for nearly 10 years and is active in the WordPress information YouTube channel WordSome.

The Bluehost you are currently using seems to be slow, as you said, based on the experience of students using it and the speed and performance I experienced during the lecture.

However, on January 19, the website run by WordPress Information Package is using the same Bluehost, but it doesn't feel that slow. Is it slow in the CMS? vs. is it slow in the screen that visitors see? I think there is a difference in this.

Anyway, since you said you're moving from Bluehost to a domestic web hosting company, even if you move to Cafe24, there are variables that will inevitably have some impact. Based on my experience, I don't think there's a perfect web hosting. ^^;;

Among the videos I made, there is one that explains how to purchase web hosting from Cafe24 and install WordPress.

Please watch this video and use it as a reference when moving your WordPress site.

There is a plugin that I used when I had to migrate a website I had made with WordPress last year due to an issue.

I introduced that plugin in this video.

I used plugin 7 to move the website myself.

Of course, I experienced a lot of trial and error as I went along. ^^;;

Before proceeding with the transfer, I am wondering if there will be any impact on things I was using in my existing hosting (Naver Pay, paid plugins, PG companies, etc.).

--> Of course, there can be an effect. Especially in the case of installed WordPress, it is naturally affected by the settings of the web hosting. If there are people who say that there is no problem, please make your own judgment. So, in this case, even if the settings of the web hosting cannot be helped, I think that configuring the WordPress environment as identically as possible is the wisest way to avoid providing a cause for problems. In particular, since plugins are directly affected by themes and CMS, you should check them more~
