الرئيسية Hosting
Where do I host my site?
An Entelak theme is an ordinary WordPress theme: it runs on any host that runs WordPress, and we sell no hosting and take no commission from anyone. Here is what it needs, how to choose, and how to upload it.
What the theme needs
- WordPress 6.6 or newer, and PHP 7.4 or newer (8.1 or newer is best)
- A domain in your business’s name, and an SSL certificate (free at most hosts)
- No plugins and nothing else: the theme is native WordPress blocks
From a bare host to a live site
1
Choose a host and a domain
Any host that runs WordPress will do; the criteria below help you choose.
2
Install WordPress
One click from the host’s panel (most install it for you); pick Arabic as the language.
3
Upload the theme
In the WordPress dashboard: Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme, and pick the file you downloaded from the builder.
4
Activate it
On activation your pages, menus and pictures are created and the front page is set.
5
Connect the domain and turn on SSL
From the host’s panel; your site is then live, and you edit it from the WordPress editor whenever you like.
How to choose a host
- Servers near your customers (for the Gulf and Egypt: Frankfurt, Bahrain, Riyadh or Cairo); every hundred kilometres closer is a faster page
- PHP 8.1 or newer, and a server cache (LiteSpeed or NGINX with caching)
- A free SSL certificate and a daily backup you can restore yourself
- The renewal price, not the offer price: introductory offers usually renew at three or four times
- Arabic support and billing in your currency if that matters to you
Common choices
We partner with no provider and earn no commission. Prices as they were in October 2026; check them with the provider before you subscribe.
- Hostinger: An Arabic interface and support, servers in Europe and Asia (Frankfurt the nearest to the Gulf), offers from about two to three dollars a month renewing at about eleven, one-click WordPress.
- SiteGround: Managed WordPress hosting with daily backups and caching ready, servers in Europe and America, offers from about three dollars a month renewing at about fifteen.
- A local host in your country: Servers in Riyadh, Jeddah or Cairo, billing in riyals or pounds and local support; ask about PHP 8.1 and daily backups before you subscribe.
Questions
Before you choose
What business owners ask about hosting.
Do Entelak’s prices include hosting?
No. A ready template and Design your own are a theme you own and upload to your hosting; hosting and the domain come from the provider you choose. In Done for you we upload the site and connect the domain for you.
Can I move my site to another host later?
Yes. Your theme is an ordinary WordPress theme file: download it from the builder without limit and upload it to any host; nothing is tied to us.
My host runs PHP 7.4, will it work?
It works from 7.4; 8.1 or newer is better for speed and security, and most hosts switch the version from their panel with one click.
Will you upload it for me?
Yes: as part of Done for you, or as a separate service over WhatsApp at a price agreed by the host.
