Get Your Own Domain & Host

Published by at 9:59 pm under internet technology & interests

When I find a blog that I enjoy reading, it is usually because I feel I have something in common with the writer of that blog. When I leave a comment, I am always hoping that the owner of that blog will check out my blog. I gain readers who enjoy what I have to say. With that said, I have to admit to being frustrated as of late.

There are many great bloggers. I have chosen not to leave comments on some of their blogs because they have no way to come back and read my blog. Perhaps that is trite but it is my choice. I am leaving comments on blogs who have their own domain and hosting service.

I do not like the control that free blog sites have over bloggers. At a moment’s notice they could pull the plug and their blog could be gone. My blog is my diary. I would be devastated if it disappeared. No one is going to have control over my blog except me.

Lunarpages hosting service is offering their Lunarpages Offer for DreamHost Customers to everyone needing to get their blogs on a great hosting plan.

Let Lunarpages show you how much better blogging can be when you use them to host your blog. Even their most basic plan is wonderful. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to the numbers but they list the following:

  • *15,000GB of Transfer
  • *1,500GB of storage
  • *free domain name & 10 add-on domains for $6.95 a month
  • I think that sounds like a great deal and the testimonials on their website have me convinced. They have great customer support 24/7. They will even let you join their forum to read how their customers react to problems and solutions when hosted by Lunar Pages. Lunar Pages is one great company because they care about their customers.

      You have just convinced me to stop relying on WordPress to host my travel blog for free. I’m definitely going to look into getting my own domain. That way, my blog will truly be MY domain. :-)

      Oh good, Iris. I think it is a good idea. I just had a friend locked out of her bspot blog because they think she is putting up spam. She isn’t.

      The offer you are showing sounds great, however I would encourage any one starting to blog to start using a free service. If you later think it is for you, then move to you own hosting. There is a lot of blogs out there just collecting dust.

      It takes very little money to get your own domain and hosting. I would not start with a free service who would have control over my blog.
