-Getting Started: Choosing a Host for your Blog or Website

There are so many host sites anymore that is confusing to a beginner and even to someone like me who has been around for nearly ten years. To find the best current host for you site--'google:' 

best blog hosts or 

 best website hosts or 

top ten hosting sites.

Check out the best host listed in several posts and check out the top ones for cost and plans that each one offers.

If you are looking for free sites---check out the following:

WordPress.com

Blogger.com 

Wix.com 

One good tip that I have learned. Before committing to a host, go online and check out all the complaints or problems posted. Every popular host will have some unhappy customers for various reasons.

Look and see if there are a number of similar or repeated complaints. At least you will find out if there is any common problem repeatedly experienced by customers. Just ‘google’ the host name and ‘complaints’ or ‘problems’ and etc.      

Remember there are no perfect hosts but there will be one that fits your budget and requirements better then others.

Beware, some bargain starting plans offered may end up being inadequate for what you want to do. Beware of limited data 'starter' plans--you may end up 'upgrading' to a more expensive plan. Look an 'unlimited' plan with one of the best hosts.
