WordPress What’s your WordPress blog stack in 2025?

[Shawn Gossman]

By stack, I mean:

1. Domain name registrar
2. Hosting service
3. WordPress.com or .org?
4. Theme
5. Any addons
6. Anything custom

Okay so this is what I have so far, but I might change it up soon.

1. I'm using cloudflare.
2. Nixihost
3. Wordpress.org
4. A custom theme I'm working on.
5. ACF and turnstile.
6. So far the theme.

1. Dreamhost for domain
2. Dreamhost for VPS hosting
3. WordPress.org
4. DIVI by Elegant Themes
5. Ads.txt, akismet, bloom, classic editor, yoast SEO, yoast SEO premium (I hate that I have to have both Yoast plugins)
6. Just the customization of the DIVI theme that I have made

Oh, why do you need to have both?

Oh, why do you need to have both?

I wouldn't host my domain and server in the same place. I prefer to keep things seperate in that perspective.

Domain in one place, hosting in another. I understand the ease of access for doing so, but it's a lot better to keep them seperated to me.

Oh I should have pointed it out, my bad. I was referring to why both Yoast plugins were needed.

I like keeping them separated as well.

How so? Why is it better? If one goes down, the site or domain is still down.
