Even, if you don't fancy hosting it on your very own domain, job is even easier. Pick a popular blogging platform like WordPress or Blogger and again do some click, you are done. For non-trading personal blogging, I think most of us would be happy with it. Blog without spending a penny.
I had other plan. I wanted to own the domain to host my blog, but didn't want to spend for hosting. As money matter, I did some cost-calculation against my requirement. To host my personal blog, I need
- to buy my domain, avg. £10.00 a year
- to protect personal details, who-is privacy costs another £10.00 a year
- to host the site, £60.00 a year
- I spent £5.95 for 2 years to buy my domain. It was an offer, £3.00 a year
- Non-trading site, so domain privacy is free. To get that I chose the UK based domain registrar.
- My blog is hosted on Blogger. So, another freebie.
I am happy, I have to spend only 25p a month, 26 times less than average spending. To complement the low cost, I had to deal with few technical stuff. Next, I will write about that "How did I set up my domain on Blogger".
