Hi there, Yesterday I opened a free blog account at WordPress, and uploaded around 4 posts. I'm thinking of linking my account to a domain name, and I also want to be able to install some extra features - top commentator section etc. Would I also need hosting to do this? And would I have to pay WordPress to be able to edit their templates? Would appreciate any help, would like the cheapest methods possible please and as you can tell I'm a newbie with all of this.... Thanks for any help Matt
Well, your best bet, IMO.. is to get your own hosting account, and install your own copy of wordpress on that account.
Hi, Buy a domain. Buy webhosting. Install wordpress and voila. You can edit or create your own wordpress template freely. Let me know if you need some help about this.
Thanks Camay123, reps given Can anyone recommend a web hosting package? My usual package would need to be upgraded, this is around £15 a month (way too pricey for the blog I want to make, as it might not be a success). Thanks for any more help. Matt
I'd be willing to give you a deal, we just put some new servers online and need to fill them - let me know what your budget is ?
To be honest I think £10 a month is probably too much for me still - the blog I would need hosting might not even get any traffic and might fail, so I don't really want to gamble much money on it. How much do your hosting packages cost?
