Some offer better customer service while others are great for beginner bloggers. In this web hosting comparison, I’ll review the web hosts I’ve used including Bluehost, GoDaddy, HostGator, SiteGround and Big Scoots.
I start all my new blogs on Bluehost and have set up a special deal for new bloggers. Get your blog started in less than 5 minutes for just $2.99 a month with this link. https://myworkfromhomemoney.com/bluehost

Posted at 18:51h, 17 JulyI tried bluehost with WordPress. I don't know if it's my linux OS or if it's me, but I could not successfully install any of the apps I needed to get started. And there was no help available. 🙁

Posted at 21:35h, 17 JulyI don’t really like considering starting a blog as a way of generating income. Someone should start a blog because they have good ideas, knowledge, etc. to share, not just because they want to make a few extra bucks.
