Hi friends, I am a freelance writer and want to start my own blog something like myname.com. I want everything installed and ready to go like nice blog template, domain name and web space 500 MB, FTP access. Please let me know how much would it cost me. Also let me know how much do I have to spend annually ?
Hi Pallavi, I can get you a domain name, webspace 500MB, FTP access and wordpress with plugins and nice template for $199 Annually you will have to pay for webspace and domain name.
A .com domain would cost you about 7$ per year at godaddy.com and the best cheap hosting I could find was lacehost.com, ran by a fellow DP-er. You can get your hosting for less than 2$ per month. That'll sum up to around 20$ per year. You're able to use WordPress, which is free, so the whole blog is pre-made.
Check dreamhost.com or hostgator.com or godaddy.com -- as Brouwer said -- they provide cheap hosting services and one-click WordPress installs. I could help you setup such an account, although it's quite easy and the guys over at the hosting company could help you out for free.
Why not go to someone like blogger.com? I know a number of people that use it... and its free. Good luck.
Well he wants his own domain name. You could install wordpress on the web host you get and then pick a theme.
Eh. Go to www.ixwebhosting.com - 4.95 a month unlimited space + they have EasyApps so it will install wordpress for you. 10.00 domain reg. at godaddy.com www.instantdomainsearch.com - you can find your domain here, or at GoDaddy.com
superior quality always is attractive and unfortunately newbies belief such marketing soap-bubbles. however honesty and true quality always succeeds much better than just empty promises. how does it come that you are offering: DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" but have ample XHTML code messed up on your pages and get several dozen code errors on even smallest pages ... and why do you have ZERO SEO included on YOUR pages ?? if you create the same level of quality for your paying customers as you did on your OWN web site, then you are sure to get your customers broke and into bankruptcy soonest - before they even start their business venture ! from looking at 2 pages ( your service page and your domain index page - it is quiet apparent that you have NO expert in web design / SEO among your staff. having a website is much more than just having files hosted on a server!!! this example of webdesign is NO exception but rather the rule and common practice in nowadays world of www and easy money making opportunities. My personal recommendation If a website offers something truly valuable, then the best is just good enough - the BEST always is to DO ALL yourself!!
