The very first step to having your own web site or blog site is to get a domain name.  The next step is to have a place to put your web site or blog site.  That is called an Internet Host.

There are lots and lots of Internet Hosting sites – I use Blue Host for all of my sites for some very simple reasons, first they are rarely down – if your host site goes down your web site is gone until they fix it.   Next if you have a question or problem the people at Blue Host actually answer the phone and will talk to you and help you through whatever problem you may have.  There is rarely much of a wait time.  The people at Blue Host also have a live chat where you can get things solved.

You can get a free domain name AND Blue Host will get you additional domain names for only $10 a year.   There are less expensive places to get domain names however with Blue Host you can get additional domain names and have them on your host site from one place.  To me is is worth the extra $2-$3 I could save per domain name per year to just have them in one place, and not worry about renewing – Blue Host takes care of this.

Blue Host is truly affordable, they offer simply great service at a very reasonable price.  Their C Panel works and they have tutorials.  Email just plain works.  I send and receive hundreds of emails a week from my customers and Blue Host gets my emails through.
