Whenever you’re first starting on the Internet, there is going to be a lot of information coming your way that seems to be conflicting. A good example of this is whenever you are first starting to put up a website. Some people will argue that static pages are by far the best type of website to establish, but to tell you the truth, that is rather old thinking. Personally, my experience has proven that it is a much better idea for you to choose from some of the best free blogs that are out there in order to get your message across to the masses.

There are a number of different blog services that you can choose from, some of which will run directly on your domain and others that are outside services which are free to use as well. Choosing from these best free blogs really depends on what you plan on doing with your business on the Internet. For example, if you’re interested in getting started on a shoestring budget you can pick up an account at Blogger.com and have your blog online within just a few minutes. Since this blogging service is owned and operated by Google, you should not have a difficult time attracting traffic from the search engine.

Another of the best free blogs that you can choose from is Wordpress. You can either get an account directly with Wordpress and use their servers or you can download their blogging software and install it directly on your own servers. One of the reasons why you might want to avoid using Wordpress directly on their servers is because they do limit the amount of advertising and commercial blogging that you do. If you are simply interested in blogging in the pure form, you should be perfectly fine using the service directly. If, on the other hand, you’re interested in how to make make from a blog then you most certainly should buy a domain name and put the Wordpress software directly on your server.

Whether you are going to use these blogging services on your server or on their servers is not something that should be taken lightly as the effects can really be overwhelming. If you choose your keywords wisely and if you are persistent in your blogging efforts, you can use any of these best free blogs that are available in order to take your business to the next level.

When deciding to use a free blogging service, you might feel a little overwhelmed. There are so many options that you just don’t know which one to go with. There are the large free blogging services that dominate the blogging world. Then there are the smaller sites that provide the same free type of service.

When you make this decision, I would try to think of who is the most reliable for your needs. When choosing one of the big services, you tend to feel secure that your blog is not going to be down often and will not disappear in the middle of the night. This does happen too! I had a work at home related blog I was posting on one of the free smaller services. I go to login one day and they decided not to host blogs anymore. My blog was gone and there was nothing I could do about it.

In my opinion, choosing Wordpress or Blogger would be my two choices in free blogging services. They both have been online for some time now and have built up a good reputation. They also provide you with some of the best tools you can use on your blog. For example, with Blogger you can add Google AdSense ads to your blog posts and generate revenue. They also probably are not going to go anywhere.

The only thing that could change is going to a paid service, but I don’t think that will happen. This could happen though as an upgrade, where you can still choose to stay with a free service. If you decide to go the free way, make it the big way. When choosing, look at the different options available and see which service provides the most options for you.

In the world of websites and blogs there are three primary forms of hosting – shared, vps and dedicated. When you are first looking to launch your blog the most recommended form is shared hosting. Shared hosting is exactly what it sounds like – you share disk space on a server where hundreds of other web sites are also hosted. The downside to shared hosting is that besides sharing storage space, you are also sharing bandwidth and if one website suddenly becomes popular it could crash all of the sites on that server. Although it is not possible to guarantee 100% uptime for any website, you can help to avoid this issue is by picking the right web host.

I’ve spent hundred of hours migrating websites between hosts – testing shared hosts, VPS and even dedicated servers for my blogs. I’ve come to one conclusion at the end of the unnecessary time wasted – choose the right host from the start. My testing ultimately lead me to Bluehost – a share webhosting service for $6.95/month which offers a solid list of features:

* UNLIMITED Hosting Space

* UNLIMITED File Transfer

* Host UNLIMITED Domains!!!

* 2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts

* SSH (Secure Shell), SSL, FTP, Stats

* CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL

* 2000/2002 Front Page Extensions

* Free Domain Forever!

* Free Site Builder

* 24/7 Superb/Responsive Sales/Support

I recommend Bluehost for Tech Blogs because their service is based on an OC-48 Backbone Connection and unlike my previous hosts I’ve never had a problem with downtime. In terms of WordPress, Bluehost uses SimpleScripts for one-click WordPress installations and upgrades. I can’t over emphasize how important one-click installs and upgrades can be when you want to start or update several tech blogs – for this reason alone the service is worth the $6.95/month. For a first-time tech blogger Bluehost gives you the full package – a lifetime domain, unlimited bandwidth and a one-click WordPress install to have you setup and ready to write within minutes of sign up. There are plenty of other hosts out there and I’m open to suggestions but when it comes to shared hosting I’ve never experienced the quality of service I do with Bluehost anywhere else.

There are various options when you are creating a blog. Which platform you are going to choose and what is best for blogging? I have made blogs almost on every platform. So I know what is suitable for me. So when someone wants to know what he should do – I tell him about the options.

Make a blog in Blogger’s platform

Make a blog in WordPress.com

Blog with your own .com domain and paid hosting.

Why I gave three choices? Because, I think these are the most familiar and popular ways. You should know that there are several other free blogging platforms to choose from. You can have the details blogging list in my E-Book.

1st: The first one is to make a free blog in Blogger’s platform. You can have a blog in Blogspot if you have a Gmail account. Blogspot is a free blogging platform for the bloggers. Nothing to worry about as this is a Google service. You can have plenty of space (blogs actually needs little space) and a 1GB picture hosting from Picasa. Again you can attach your .com domain in Blogspot’s blog. So it’s easy to have a professional looking blog on here.

Google indexes the Blogspot’s blog a little bit earlier than other blogs. Actually Google prefers the blog hosting here. So you can have auto search engine optimized blog for free. This is the main reason why I always suggest making a free blog at Blogspot’s blog. They are Google’s preferred ones. Go to Blogspot.com, enter your Gmail user details and login with that. And you are ready, start making your blog right now.

2nd: When making a free blog in WordPress.com, it’s easy to start a new one. Go to the home page at WordPress.com and click the “Sign up Now” button. You will be redirected to the signup page and you have everything ready on that page. Choose a user name or blog address. You have to provide an e-mail address too. They will send the information on that e-mail address. And then you have to confirm your e-mail address to proceed on.

3rd: Otherwise, there is a third option to make a blog by having a paid hosting and your own domain. You may use the WordPress software to do that. Most of the bloggers prefers it. For that you have to upload your blog software in your root folder or as described in your hosting manual. Install it as described, choose a nice template and if needed do a little bit customization. And you are ready to start a blog. Remember that when you have a blog on your own paid hosting you have lots of independence to do whatever you wish and again you have to work hard to make it popular too.

What I did

I have my own .com domain and a free cPanel hosting for this blog. I will upgrade someday into a paid hosting. I installed the WordPress software for the blogging platform and even I have a free theme for this blog. So I mixed up things to make this blog. A part is paid and a part is free. Yet this is not hosted on Blogspot or on WordPress. I prefer the free things that look like professional.

So it’s now up to you- what you need and where you need. The vast web resources are free to explore. Ask me anything you wish to know. In the later part I will be describing more about making the choices.
