newbie question about webhosting

[dragonmin]

I am kind of new to this internet marketing. Is it better to create a blog using a free web hosting or paid?

 

[Netphase]

Paid.

Paid hosting mate, it is a good investment and also you know that your server wouldnt be going down all the time. You need something reliable.

I use paid hosting, but am very new as well. What I enjoy most is that I have complete control over the content. I use Wordpress for my blog. By the way....don't make the same mistake I did and pick a domain name that means nothing to anyone but yourself....it doesn't help with the search engines.

Nothing comes free in this word. What does comes free with FREE STUFF is problems. Be a wise man and not a douche. Go for paid hosting.

Go with paid hosting, you can get started with that .01 first month hosting on Gator and buy a cheap domain for under $9 from Namecheap and you are set.

If you don't have $10 to spare, go down and donate plasma.

Been there, done that and got the t-shirt.
