How Do I Start A Blog? – Getting A Host
As we continue with our series How Do I Start A Blog you need to sign up for a hosting service if you have not already done so. If you do a quick Google search you will find that there are hundreds of hosting services. Not every blogger seems to like the same hosting company. For TerryLile.com I am using HostGator. I have found that they offer good service, their system is easy to navigate, and you can log in and set up a new Wordpress site in a few minutes.
Previously I was using a host where you had to upload Wordpress, which I found both time consuming and aggravating. HostGator offers hosting for $9.95 per month for an unlimited number of domains. Host Gator gives you a 45 day money back guarantee so if you are not satisfied with their service which is rare, you get your money back. If you are switching from another host HostGator will do it for you free.
As I have previously mentioned I will only recommend a company that I have personally used and am happy with. To learn more or sign up for HostGator click here. Enter the coupon code: Green for a 20% discount.
Starting with the next article we will be leaving the series “How Do I Start A Blog” and begin a series “How Do I Set Up A Blog?” We will begin with setting up our domain at the host and adding Wordpress. As we go through the series we will select a theme, add plugins, set the site up for search engine optimization and continue through with the site building and promotion. I look forward to you joining me and this non-technical blogger always appreciates your comments.
