Better Blogging
If you are new to blogging read this first.
Getting ready for a change to Wordpress in the near future. There are two types of Wordpress. The first one is Wordpress.com which is a community of free blogs. Kind of like Blogger.com. Wordpress.com is limited in features but good if you are new to blogging. WordPress.org however has the personal publishing platform “Wordpress” which you will need your own hosting for. Wordpress is a state-of-the-art personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.
If you run a blog and are not on the Wordpress platform and you think you will be running your blog for a long time to come. Then you should do what I’m about a week or two away from doing. I will keep my url Daveyblog.com and seek cheap hosting somewhere like Namecheap.com and get there pro-hosting for $6.95 a month.
100GB space
1000GB transfer
1250 email accounts
30 MySQL or PostgreSQL databases
10 domains
Unlimited subdomains
Unlimited FTP users
All features of the above packages
After your hosting is all figured out you just need to go to Wordpress.org and download Wordpress to your computer unzip it then upload the program to your server.
I am making this change soon as I won’t be able to transfer my blogs. Unless I do it manualy. Just imagine loosing two or three years worth of blogging because you didn’t change to your own hosting sooner.
