    hi
    i`m attending to start my own blog, so i got my internet mastercard yesterday.
    the problem is..when i saw the plan with (6.95/mo !! etc) i thought that the payment will be monthly!
    so i choose the lowest limit of my card (50$)
    but these kind of plans is annual !(which will be around 83$ !)
    so do i have to ask the bank to change the limit to (100$)
    or i could register with a monthly payment plan?!
    note that i need a domain too!

    what should i do?!
    waiting

    I really reccomend steadfast.net. Super uptime and support. Before going with a host, make sure you do a search at webhostingtalk.com first. Good luck.

    I like hostgator.com and they allow monthly payment plan instead of annual :)

    Can't believe I am recommending this (being that I am a web host after all) but ... why not just get a free Wordpress site? Free, as in, costs nothing. You can get one at wordpress.com :)

    Just buy a monthly plan.

    A domain would cost you - let's say - $10. And hosting, $8-$10 on a decent one (I use Hostgator hosting and it's pretty good).

    I'm sure that in a couple of months, when you run out of cash in your credit card, the cash you earned from your site will come in handy! ;)

    For free, you would be better going with blogspot.com (blogger.com).

    Sorry, but I have to disagree there ... I have blogs on both wordpress.com and blogger/blogspot, and wordpress.com has much more in terms of functionality, plug-ins, SEO, easy feed capability, templates and layout flexibility...

    Avoid free blog hosting. There are too many stories around of how blogs were unexpectedly shut down by blogger, wordpress, etc.

    Hello Xhack,

    Host Gator is recommended by many. I have sent you a private message with some offers. Please let me know if you are interested.

    Good luck buddy.
