From a Non-Techie’s Point of View
August 14th, 2008
When I delved into the world of self-hosting four years ago, I must admit that I was clueless. All I wanted then was to have my own domain and use wordpress. Not to say that I am very knowledgeable about it now but at least I know the basic things needed to keep all my blogs up and running.
Thankfully, I have known blogger friends, who shared their technical skills with me as I migrated to a new web host. Also, there is a whole gamut of free web hosting articles on the Internet. It’s just a matter of being patient and knowing what to search for using Google.
For non-techie bloggers like me, it is important to decide on a cheap and reliable web host. Asking around for first-hand experience on web hosts is also good. It is also important that the company has a very good technical support.
I have only move web hosts once and while I can say that I am a lot happier with my current, what I wish they have that my first web host offers is Cpanel (control panel). Nothing beats its GUI (graphical user interface) that is great for non-techie users.
There is no perfect web host for sure but so far I can vouch for the performance of the web hosting company I chose.
