LaFactory offers web hosting for WordPress with Divi, but also dozens of features to facilitate the launch of your websites.
LaFactory is a new web hosting company that contacted me to test their service. As I am always looking for interesting services, I took a look. And we could summarize the offer of this host by an all-in-one solution. It offers several types of hosting, but it emphasizes hosting that integrates WordPress and Divi Divi is both a theme and a builder for WordPress.
It’s one of the most popular, used by more than 800,000 websites worldwide, but it’s a paid module. And LaFactory offers it for free in your hosting, which is a definite plus. Because not only do you have Divi, but you have a lot of premium extensions of this builder. So with a hosting of a few euros per month, you get extensions and the Builder itself worth hundreds of euros.

The different hosting solutions offered by LaFactory
LaFactory offers 2 types of hosting with Cpanel Expert and Wordress. And the WordPress hosting comes in 3 variants with Startup, Pro and Expert.
- Cpanel Expert at 9.90 euros per month – We are in a classic hosting, but which includes all Divi extensions. You have 6 domains, 40 GB of space, 20 emails, 20 subdomains and 20 SQL databases.
- Startup at 14,90 euros per month – 1 domain, 5 SQL databases, 20 GB, daily backup, WordPress support and SEO and marketing mentoring
- Pro at 24,90 euros per month – 3 domains, 15 SQL databases, 30 GB, daily backup, WordPress support and SEO and marketing mentoring
- Expert at $34.90 per month – 6 domains, 30 SQL databases, 40 GB, daily backup, WordPress support and SEO and marketing mentoring
Considering the prices of these hosting packages, one might think that the Cpanel Expert offer is more advantageous since it gives you 6 domains for less than 10 euros while the Startup only gives you 1 domain for about 15 euros. Except that the WordPress offers include the support of WordPress, but also an accompaniment in SEO and digital marketing.
This allows people or companies, who have no knowledge of the web, to have a functional website in a few minutes, but especially to be able to optimize the site so that it ranks well in search engines.
A ready to use solution
I’ve been in the website business for 10 years now and nowadays I go through VPS that I configure myself. However, it’s always a pain in the ass, because for a technical problem, you spend hours searching in the dark corners of the web. What I like about LaFactory is that their solutions are ready to use and honestly, their prices are really interesting. I’ve already bought extensions or WordPress builders and it costs a lot of money for the smallest thing!
Let’s say you take the WordPress Pro package at about 25 euros, you can create 3 sites under WordPress that have their Premium extension, giving you a professionalism in a few clicks. Personally, I’m not a fan of Builders like Divi or Elementor, because sometimes it becomes a real gas factory. Being from the old school, I like to tweak light themes and get the desired result.
However, having tested a few builders, the time saving is incredible with amazing results. Many will go with Elementor because it’s free, but Divi is powerful, lightweight and offers plenty of extensions to customize your site down to the last detail. You don’t need to know any code, because building the site is entirely visual like painting a picture.
LaFactory’s integrated SEO
All of LaFactory’s WordPress offerings include SEO mentoring and support for your site. With the pandemic, everyone started talking digital without understanding what they were talking about. Thousands of stores and businesses went online… only to find out that it’s a real jungle and that it’s a very complex field.
Of course, there are other web hosts that allow you to create a functional site in a very short time. But then you are left to your own devices and you realize that it is very difficult for a new site to rank well in the search engines. Either you pray to the Lord Google to rank your site well with luck (and he doesn’t answer often), or you optimize your content so that Google notices it according to its ranking criteria.
With its sEO supportlaFactory offers you a complete audit when your site is created. This will allow you to analyze keywords, usability, site speed, etc. Then you also have a monthly report to help you improve the site over time. This is a great offer and very few hosting companies offer this approach.
The Cpanel Expert offer
LaFactory’s Cpanel Expert offer doesn’t offer SEO mentoring or WordPress support and it’s more like a classic hosting. However, you have all the Divi paid extensions which is always nice. I tested the Cpanel and it is very responsive and it comes with Softaculous which is a catalog of scripts that allows you to install many CMS in a few clicks. We can mention WordPress, but also Drupal, Joomla, Prestashop, Magento, etc.
It’s a real Swiss army knife that allows you to install and configure what you want. You also have backup management, centralized update of your plugins and themes. Frankly, the dashboard is very well done with a good ergonomics that allows you to quickly find what you are looking for.
In conclusion
LaFactory offers a turnkey hosting approach for website launch, development, but also SEO optimization. It is for anyone or company who wants to start on the web, but does not know where to start. The maze of the web is numerous and scammers are hiding in every corner. LaFactory gives you a solid starting point with guidance at every step.
Also, the prices surprised me pleasantly, because considering everything that comes with the hosting, it’s really affordable. The technical support is fast and there is a great refund policy if you are not satisfied with the service. In short, it costs only a few euros per month to try their service and we can bet that you won’t be disappointed.
