Start A Blog And Get Free Web Hosting From Host Gator!

Have you ever wanted to start your own personal blog but found yourself lost and confused on where to begin? I have had many friends ask me how I started mine and it is a lot of information to take in at once, so here I will layout the steps in doing so…

First you need to decide if you want to make a personal blog so you can post anything you want about yourself or on your mind, or if you want to concentrate on a certain topic.

Second, you need to get some cheap and reliable hosting which allows you to create your own website on the internet. One of the most reputable companies out there is one by the name of Host Gator. I personally use Host Gator for all my websites and only use the smallest plan they have which is $4.95 a month. But, right now they are doing a promotional deal for a free month of web hosting. Here are the steps in getting a free months of web hosting from Host Gator:

Step 1: Go to HostGator
Step 2: HostGator.com
Step 3: Click the ‘Web Hosting’ link in the navigation bar at the top
Step 4: Click ‘Order Now’ button for the Baby Plan (middle of the page)
Step 5: Enter your existing domain or purchase a domain
Step 6: Use coupon CACTUS
Step 7: Click ‘Calculate Your Total’ and final price will be $0.00

Host Gator will not be doing this for long, so take advantage of this awesome deal.

I like to use Host Gator because they have something called “Fantastico Delux” which will install everything for you. You can have your blog up in less than a minute.

Third, you’ll need to decide on a domain name (which is the url you type in your address bar). So if you want a personal blog and your name is Tiffany Jones, see if TiffanyJones.com is available. You can get a domain for $10.69 at GoDaddy for one year.

Once you’ve bought your domain name you’re all set and ready to start blogging.
