Make cash online

Now that we have learned what is a domain, tips on getting a domain and getting a domain we move on what is hosting and how we can get free hosting and you can get cheap good hosting services.

First of all let us define what is hosting. When we talk about setting a website or a blog, what we will be talking about is “Web hosting.” So if the domain is your street address, what hosting is, is that it is your actual house on that street address.

However technically speaking, what is hosting? Or more specifically what is web hosting? First of all let us define what a web hosting company is. A web hosting company is one that provides space on their servers wherein you can upload the contents of your website or blog. Web hosting companies are those that provide hosting services. You can either get free hosting services or paid hosting services.

Of course the advantages and disadvantages of free or paid hosting services are quite obvious. Usually free hosting services offers limited services, although some of them are very good. By limited hosting I mean limited disk space, (You can only upload limited stuff for your blog or website like limited number of pictures, videos etc.) limited bandwidth (Bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transferred over the network in a fixed amount of time. To the layman this is akin to the number of times that your blog or website can be accessed online), limited support, limited features among other things.

Paid hosting on the other hand is presumed to offer much better services and throws in a lot of extra features. This is of course but natural, considering that you are paying for said service.

FREE WEB HOSTING

If you type “Free web hosting” in Google, you will get a lot of results. However for purposes of blogging, there are only two sites that I am recommending that offer both free hosting, free domain and offers probably two of the most popular free blogging platforms (We’ll talk more about what is a blogging platforms later on) these are www.blogspot.com and www.wordpress.com. Later on we will be discussing the major differences between these two blogging platforms.

CHEAP PAID WEBHOSTING

If you are serious about making blogging a career(or a future career perhaps ?)   then I suggest you should seriously consider a paid webhosting. I am not saying that you can’t make money from free webhosting sites. Sure you still can ! In fact I have several blogs hosted on free sites. Most pro-bloggers make a lot of cash utilizing free domain and free hosting. However take note that all the features of free webhosting can never beat that of a paid web hosting service.

There are hundreds if not thousands of hosting companies over the internet. I can only recommend what I have used. Personally I have used Vodahost. I had a sad experience with another web hosting company, I won’t mention the name though. So far Vodahost seems ok. They are not a perfect hosting company, but so far they seem to have satisfied my hosting requirements. Vodahost offers free domain and an all unlimited diskspace, bandiwidth, websites per account, domains, subdomains and FTP accounts ! They have also great customer service. All of these at a very low fantastic price! Click on the banner below and get your hosting services at Voda host.

So know you know what is hosting and how to get free and cheap web hosting services let us then move on to How to set up a blog.
