So, you want to start a blog, and you want to do it right from the start. The most popular way and the way I did my blog later down the road is by going through WordPress.org. However, in order to do this, one of the most important steps to starting your blog is finding a great company to host your blog. WordPress works more like an application, and your hosting company is the real backbone of your blog or website. Choosing a host can be difficult, and many bloggers stress over the decision. So, today I’m sharing a few tips on how to choose a host for your blog.
See What People Recommend
Do you have friends that blog? Who are your favorite bloggers? See what hosting company they’re using and take a look to see if that company would work for you, too. The newest hosting company that I’m hearing about in the blog world is Web Hosting Hub. There are many companies out there, so finding a good starting place to look can be helpful.
Compare the Perks
Once you have a few companies in mind, you’ll want to see what perks they offer and what you get with your hosting. For example, Web Hosting Hub offers over 310 FREE applications (including WordPress) to help you build your blog. You can install wordpress with just one click, and your domain name is free for a year! Also, if you’re transferring over from blogger or another platform, you get free transfer with no downtime!
What about communication?
Having a self-hosted blog can be a little risky, but so worth it. You want someone that will be there for you when things get tricky, that will help you get your blog back running smoothly. Web Hosting Hub has a 24/7 1-800 number so you can call anytime, and a chat online option as well. Not to mention email, and tons of tutorials and help for you right on the website. You’ll want a host that’s easy to get ahold of!
What does it cost?
Of course, cost can be a big issue for a blogger. Especially if you are still working to make money from your blog, or have no intentions of making money from your blog, you want to keep your cost low. You can get started with Web Hosting Hub for as low as $3.99 a month! Best of all, you get a 90 day money back guarantee.
What’s to lose? If you are looking to start a self-hosted blog or transfer from blogger, do it today! You can choose what you think is best for you, but I definitely recommend giving Web Hosting Hub a look-see. They’ve got rave reviews, and are a wonderful company to get started with!
