There are probably more than a hundred webhosting sites where you can purchase your own domain name and host it on your own. Owning a web site now is that easy and affordable. But the prices offered by the different webhosting companies are very competitive which makes choosing a little tough.  If you’re a little confused, I would recommend you check on Web Hosting Choice.  It’s a website that offers free reviews of the top webhosting  solutions.

Get to know the basics and know the things you should expect from web hosting  if you’re a newbie.  Don’t get too excited and do your purchase immediately, it is important that  you research and read about webhosting articles and guides first.  Of course nothing is better than learning from someone else, that’s what reviews are for.  It also helps to ask around and do more research on them.

The site’s ratings is very important too so make sure you check on that. This will give you an overview on how to manage and host your own sites. It’s  important that your webhost is reliable and dependable because this will give you an edge over other competitors especially if you are marketing your products.

My sister-in-law is an active member of the PTA in her kids’ school. They are thinking of putting up a website showcasing their organization’s advocacy, projects and funding.  She asked if I could help them since  all of them are new at webhosting, none of them had put up a website before.

I told her that mine is one of the top web hosts and I’m pretty satisfied with their service.   But to get the most comprehensive and reliable web hosting reviews, they must first check out websites that provide detailed information.  I don’t want them to simply rely on my words.  So when they had a meeting, she did what I told her.  They were surprised at how easy checking out the top web hosting sites can be. As I have mentioned earlier, none of them have the knowledge and they will be relying solely on the web host to walk them through the intricacies of site development and building. They were also surprised to find out that it doesn’t cost much to run a website.

Most likely, they’ll be choosing my web host because they like that the tech support is patient and helpful. It’s great that there are sites that do these reviews, it’s a big help to those who are searching for the best web hosts around. The internet has so much information to share with us. Everything you need is right at your fingertips.

I am also glad that my SIL’s cooperative will now get more exposure  through their website.  This will greatly help in their advocacy. Aside from transparency, they can now show the progress of their programs and inform those who help them financially that their donations reach its intended beneficiaries.  Putting up a website is also one way of attracting other people to help and donate for their projects.

With the new desk top and a new laptop arriving next week, hubs is thinking if we should also purchase a wireless router.  He said it will be more convenient for all of us especially for me.  We live in a four-story house and adding more wires he said, is not a good idea.  I like to multi task and with a wireless router, I can now bring the laptop around the house.  He saw one online and I just might say yes.  It’s inexpensive and it fits the budget.

As a mom I am distressed about the rising costs presently happening globally. The more we have to pay for gas and electricity, the less money we have to raise our kids. I am sure I’m not the only only one and most of us are doing more cuts on the budget, but it’s just so hard to tighten the already tight belt. This is one reason why I monetized this blog. There are those who look down on monetized blogs, maybe they don’t experience the same economic pinch we go through. The income I get through blogging is such a big help, in fact, that’s were I get the money to pay some of my bills.

Blogging is fun and addicting and earning from it is just great but it entails expenses too since I bought my own domain which of course need web hosting. Hosting your own gives you more opportunities to earn. Many bloggers have decided to get their own web hosting because of this.

One misconception about web hosting is, it is expensive. But if you look at it in the long run it actually is not. Just think about all those income opportunities that will be knocking on your door if you are hosting your own site. But of course you have to  be prudent in your selection, choose a plan with all the essential features instead of going for all the attractive add-ons. Should you decide to earn from your blogs and host your own web sites, choose wisely. Host Monster can host unlimited sites, has unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth and it comes with free instant set up, all these for a very low price.
