If you do plan to set up your own blog, I would appreciate it if you would use one of these companies as your web host. It doesn’t cost you any more to use one of these links.

Blue Host. This is the company I use myself and I’ve had a great experience with them. They are available 24/7 and I’ve never waited more than a few minutes to speak with anyone in technical support. They have been a great host. You can add unlimited domains (if you want more than one blog or site) and hosting with them costs as low as $6.95 per month! I have several other online ventures I’m considering and it’s nice to know that I can host them all on my current account. Additionally, they have a one click install of WordPress as well as several other programs through Fantastico Deluxe. Use it. It works like a dream.

Lunar Pages. I almost went with them and to be honest, I’m not sure why I didn’t. Their hosting plans also start out at $6.95 and they offer 1500 GB Storage Space, 15,000 GB Bandwidth, free website templates, domain name for life, and special offers if you’re interested in transferring an existing account. Like Blue Host, Lunar Pages also offers unlimited domains on one account. I have some friends using Lunar Pages and they report fantastic results.

Host Gator (for all you University of Florida fans!). Host Gator doesn’t require customers to sign up for anything longer than a month plus they have no setup fees. If you’re wanting to get your feet wet (pun intended) you can use their “Hatchling,” “Baby,” or “Swamp” plans. They have a lot of different options so I haven’t included any pricing here to avoid any confusion. Host Gator is a very reliable web host that many online friends use with great success.
