    I currently have a wordpress blog and plan to start 1 possibly 2 more. I want to register their domains and get new hosting so my first question is can you recommend resonably priced hosting suitible for these needs? Second, can someone please explain how to transfer a wordpress blog to that new host?


    :eek: thank you much

    You can use any small hosting as it won't require lot of space and bandwidth.

    Also you can install wordpress with a single click from fantastico in your cpanel.

    If the blogs are content based then wont consume a lotta space or bandwith for users. But if you are going to have pictures/videos etc then you may have to buy a better hosting. Whats your budget anywayz for the hosting? Many users will be happy to recommend you a goods hosting.

    soma, i would recommend Eleven2 (the one I'm hosting on) or HostGator (my previous host). Eleven2 had better reseller options so I moved there.

    all you need is the smallest shared hosting plan.

    thank you all kindly for the tid-bits...as far as fantastico goes I'm kinda in the dark here. I should be able familiarize myself with it by searches but if someone can tell me what it's all about that would be cool. Is it going to be in my site's cp at the new host or is it something I gotta download to it? =) thanks...

    I use dreamhost.com. They've had some reliability issues in the past, but have straightened up recently. Plus their cost is low and their customer service is excellent.

    I am using MrWebStarter.com I am using a plan they have for $8 dlls a month, but I have with that plan running 4 websites and one blog using WordPress, which I am still working on it. You can check it out if you want, www.mypuppylog.com I made it for my girlfriend, jejeje, so please leave a comment for one of her pets. It was the first time I used it, it was pretty easy to install, I just had to select an option and that was it. But I think their plans start at 4 dlls a month.

    By the way, do you know any plug ins for WordPress so that I can make the process of uploading the pictures easier???

    Thank you.

    Good Luck.
