Certified Blogaholic

With income a little tighter than usual due to the current economic crisis, I find it necessary to increase my online earnings. An important tip I picked up from web experts to increase earnings is to maintain multiple blogs or websites. Of course, it eats up more time. But if you can spare the time, it can prove to be profitable. Some make a killing from Adsense alone with this strategy.

Then again, you have to minimize your costs in maintaining multiple websites. As this is my long term plan, I have been scouting around for the best web hosting plan for multiple websites. WebHostingGeeks.com turned out to be my best companion in this endeavor. Web Hosting Geeks is a website that provides users with a list of the best web hosting plans available in the internet. When I say best, it could have different definitions to different web site owners. As such, the website provides a ranking of web hosting plans depending on the type of service that a potential web site owners need. Aside from a general ranking on top web hosts, they also provide a list for those that offer multiple domains, free domains, free yahoo marketing, or free google adwords. They also provide lists of those that have garnered awards.

However, what I find very useful with Web Hosting Geeks are their web hosting reviews. Once you have found a potential web host, you can make a further assessment by getting an idea about their uptime, bonus features, customer support, user-friendliness, and even customer feedback.

Before choosing your web host, visit WebHostingGeeks.com and get more value out of your hard-earned money. It could also mean more money for your website.

One of the reasons that Certified Blogaholic changed to another web host before the previous one expired was because of downtime. A few days before we transferred, the blog was down and access was difficult. It was then that we decided to find another web host before the contract was up. I’ve read so many disasters from bloggers with unreliable web hosts. There were those who even lost years of database because of bad hosting. Even if the blog has only been around for a year, I wouldn’t want to jeopardize a year of hard work.

For those who plan to go into blogging, remember that the foundation of a good blog is a reliable web host. No matter how good a blog is, it is worth nothing with frequent downtime. With the numerous web hosting services available, make sure to consult the experts when it comes to finding your web host. A web hosting blog would be a good resource to get feedback on web hosting services. WebHostingGeeks.com has a blog that features articles that can help any blogger make an informed decision in hosting services. It has tips on determining the criteria you can use to measure a web host and even mistakes to avoid when choosing one. You will even learn a little more about the technical side of blogging such as content management systems, cPanels, or data centers. And it’s all written clearly that even a newbie will understand.

Any progress in blogging needs information that WebHostingGeeks can offer. Visit the blog now and find out before plunging into blogging.

Three days to Certified Blogaholic’s first birthday, I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with the newbies or those contemplating about getting their own blog. I am still considered a newbie after one year and hardly an expert on blogging. Still, this article may prove valuable to those who want a simpler approach to blogging. I will write my experience sans the complicated concepts of SEO (search engine optimization) or any other technical blabber about blogging.

For those still in the planning process of starting their blog or those still in their infant stages, you might want to consider first the actual purpose of the blog. This one was entirely built on the desire to make money from different opportunities in the web. At this point, I’m still uncertain if it’s a good idea to start a blog driven by that purpose. Yet, it’s an unavoidable truth. It would’ve given this entire article more drama if I told you the blog was born out of a need to share my thoughts or unorganized ramblings about the world. But it would be so far from the truth that even a 5-year old would know I’m lying. Ideally, starting a blog should be born out of a desire to share something to the world — a cooking expertise, a talent in finance or investment, a love for gadgets, or even tips on making a scrapbook or needlepoint. Whatever it is, it would be good if you have something unique to share the world.
