    Do I actually need a business if I want to achieve this goal?

    Being a person who is both lonely AND not rich, I can tell you these two things have exactly nothing to do with each other. I can't tell if you're just trolling or not. Giving you the benefit of the doubt for now... Some of the most successful bussinesspeople I know swim in big circles of...

    Has anyone tried Wordpress hosting?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Unless you know you're going to be saturated with 10,000 concurrent requests or something (which you're not, since you're asking about WP hosting) don't even worry about "performance optimization". The only resource you should be optimizing at this stage is your time. Pick the service which...
