Blog Webhosting
Blog webhosting has gotten so competitive these days that you really can just pick anyone to host your site but here are a few things you might want to keep in mind.
- Cheap webhosting is cheap because they don’t offer daily backups which means you have to do your own backups. You could easily lose your whole site and income in a minute.
- Webhosts that advertise being able to host unlimited sites for one low price and allow you to create add on domains actually do have limits for the amount of traffic the site can handle. Ask them for the details. They usually don’t say it out right on their sites or anywhere. Your sites will slow down when traffic gets high – which is your goal!
That is basically it in a nutshell. Most companies offer easy blog installation software with most using something called Fantastico that you can just click install wordpress or whatever blogging software you want to use. Wordpress is the software that I recommend and that I am using for this blog. I did look at others a few years ago when I got more serious about blogging but none of them really compared. The reason I like it is that I could easily figure out how to use it and more importantly how to optimize it for the search engines and install something called an xml sitemap that is required to submit your sites to search engines.
My favorite webhost for blogs is EZ Web Hosting- mainly because they do automatically do a daily backup of each site. Their customer service is outstanding.
