About

Mohanraj is the founder of Hostingstep.com. Passionate about building websites, he started his work with Google blogger platform and the limitations made him to learn about WordPress. Through this path, he upgraded his skillset in shared hosting, VPS (cPanel / WHM) and Google Cloud.

His expertise is in WordPress speed optimization and server management. He has worked with almost 90% of the top hosting providers for managing client websites with services like WordPress troubleshooting, Fixing Core Web Vitals, etc. Through his agency, he optimized over hundreds of WordPress sites for speed.

While working on client sites, he noticed a common pattern where half of the client website issues happen at the server level like high TTFB, 5xx/4xx errors, etc. with no room to fix the issues on the website end. This paved the way for launching Hostingstep.com, the honest, transparent and 24/7, 365 days of data-backed hosting reviews, you’ll ever read on the internet. By going through the benchmarks, one can easily filter out the best suitable hosting provider for their specific needs, leaving out all the slow WordPress hosts.

The Mission of Hostingstep is to enable website owners to focus on growing their online business instead of troubleshooting the hosting issues.
