Blogging has grown from a geeky pastime for a few to a movement of making anybody into a self-publishing juggernaut. People write blogs for all types of reasons too. Some write about their hobbies, others promote their business. The most important part of blogging though is the web hosting that sits under it, so it is worth your wild to find the best hosting plan to meet your blogging needs.
What type of hosting plan do I need?
Many would consider WordPress to be the most popular blogging script out there, so in most cases that would tell you that a Linux-based operating system might be the best route to take. I would highly recommend these web hosting plans for your blog hosting needs.
Either plan should be more than able to help you get going with your first blog. The unlimited disk space and bandwidth of the Basic plan is a big benefit when it comes to blog hosting – but the Starter hosting plan has the lower price. Either hosting plan should get the job done, and make a perfect home for your blog.
Install Your Blogging Script in Seconds!
Once you pick the hosting plan that is right for you, the next step would be to install a blogging script to use. As I mentioned before, WordPress is one of the most popular blogging scripts out there and it can easily be installed a number of different ways. If your account comes with the cPanel control panel, WordPress can be installed from the Fantastico page from within cPanel. If your account comes with the LPCP control panel, then you can install WordPress from the WebApps Pool inside of the LPCP application. You also have the choice to download WordPress, and do the manual installation yourself.
Are there other blogging scripts out there?
Yes, there are many different blogging scripts. If you are not happy with WordPress, you might try one of these other script alternatives.
