Web Hosting

It probably comes as no surprise to readers that I enjoy blogging. It gives me a chance to speak my mind, discuss my thoughts about baseball and allows other people to read these thoughts and comment if they will. Like many bloggers, I set my blog up through Google. Blogger (or blogspot) is run by Google.

It is great that you can find sites that host blogs for free. There are out there and I am glad they are. Still, sometimes you may need to have some additional freedoms if you want to blog. More and more people are finding it necessary to find a web host for personal reasons (such as wanting to comment about Met games). Certainly more and more people are looking for a web host for professional or business purposes.

How do you know the right host to use? One thing you can do is check out http://www.webhostingchoice.com (who is sponsoring this post). What I like about this site is it allows you to enter specific parameters, including bandwidth, disk space, setup fees and monthly fees. You input this information and it will provide you with a list of hosts.

In addition, if you are not sure about what some of the terms mean, http://www.webhostingchoice.com, can help. They have a “learning center” on their website. This is a list on the left side of the page that not only includes FAQ’s, but also various terms such as ‘Domain’, ‘Bandwidth’, and ‘Dedicated Server’. Just click on one of the various words to learn more about the terms.

If you are looking at setting up a site and need someone to handle web hosting, it is worth a look.
