Blogging Is Helping Hosting Grow
These days it is very popular for people to want to build their own website, or even a number of websites. For many people, this is driven by a desire to circulate their opinions on various matters or issues of the day, on blogs about all kinds of subjects from politics to sports, and from making money online to raising money for charity. A question that crops up on a regular basis is whether you can build your own websites for free, or do you need to opt for something that is going to cost you a lot of money.
Like most things in life, nothing is black and white, and when it comes to building a website, you can either go for the really cheap options or you can pay a company to build you a very professional looking site at quite a substantial cost. Finally, there is everything in between.
The Cheap Options
Many people like the idea of making some extra money while they write about their passions and hobbies, and there are several free platforms that allow you to do this. Examples are Hubpages and Squidoo, where you write single web pages – as many as you like – and you can put related product advertisements on them, from companies like Amazon or eBay. If a visitor reaches your page and ends up buying one of those products, you will get a commission. However, the reason this is called the “cheap” option rather than the “free” option is that the site owner (Hubpages or Squidoo) will take a large part of any earnings you make, although they do not actually charge you any money.
Another option if you want a larger site for yourself is to use Blogger. This site is owned by Google and you can set up a blog on there very quickly and easily. You can even use AdSense ads to make a little money if you like. The alternative is to use WordPress, which is another free blogging platform (use WordPress.com rather than WordPress.org).
The so-called “free” cheap web hosting php will have many strings attached, costing you much of your earnings and to a degree also a lot of your freedoms. Terms of Service for any of these sites can change whenever the site owners see cheap web hosting package, and this could easily see your account get penalized or closed with the deletion of all your hard work.
It is fairly easy to get yourself started. You will need to buy web hosting from a company that provides you with disk space for all your site files. Hostgator is one of the largest companies that can offer you this service, but there are literally hundreds of providers to choose from in cheap web hosting packages. Take your time if you are looking for the cheapest possible one, as often you will get exactly what you pay for.
