I started a blog at blogger.com last month. But now I want to move to a domain name of my own. But there are some problems. Since I'm going to fore only one domain name, I haven't decided on a topic yet. My areas of interest are (a) Anything and everything about internet and blogging (b) Football. Especially Manchester United. (c) Any other news that catches my interest, The problem is whether I have to choose between then or to blog on all of these topics.Some help and information on hosting providers will also be highly appreciated. Please suggest a domain name also
best will be yourname.com or yournameblog.com but you can check this post in my blog regarding 6 types of names available choosing domain name for your blog
I'd recommend you to have separate blogs for both topics. One for internet marketing and blogging, and the other for MU. Domain names- go to namecheap or godaddy and do a search for the available names. Hosting - Most hosts including dreamhost, ASO, hostgator etc will have packages that suit your requirement.
Yes, I'd definitely split those topics into two separate blogs (or only focus on one). You'll have better results having a highly focused blog on one specific topic area. "Blogging" is a bit flooded, but I think a quality blog with good, regular content could do well.
you know I have never been more successful then when I changed to my own real name domain as in karenblundell.com I guess it's because I've built up trust with my visitors and they have gotten to know the real me so if you do the same thing you can blog about your business and/or your interests. good luck
I use Blogger.com and GoDaddy for my weblogs. This works! You need to know about how FTP works. If you know how to use FTP, you can use Blogger.com and a web hosting service together.
If you decide to go for a football blog, then you've got some domain suggestions at my blog. I haven't even got all my affiliate links in up yet so I'm not trying to earn money here, just helping you out.
Looks like I'm gonna settle for a domain name on my name. hosting is still a problem whether i should choose solutions within India or not. BTW what's everyone's hosting space & bandwidth ?
If you know somebody locally whom you can trust and offers reliability, choose the Indian company. If not, opt for any of the major hosting companies online. Space and bandwidth really depends on the type of site that you are operating, but for a blog, a basic plan should do.
also Please suggest me a Good wordpress theme, that is widget ready and supports a little space for adsense and the like.
If you choose something in India it might be cheaper... Godaddy.com is the best if you want to spend $3.95 per month.
I would suggest a man utd blog. Player profiles of all players, wallpapers, general info, update it every week with latest results and then SEO the fcuk out of it! (PM me for some free tips!) As for hosting, GoDaddy or Hostgator ($9.95 one).
Well. I already downloaded BlueBox theme. And edited it to 960px width. But it still have that usual 'blog' template feeling to it.
Create a niche blog so that it you get focussed and sustained viewership. Choosing a domain name is one of the most trickiest jobs.
you can buy the domain from namecheal and about hosting it depends upon ur budget. but never go with hostingdepartment, their support is really poor.
