Blog hosting

Postby ritchie_liu » Fri Jun 08, 2012 4:33 pm

Does anyone know (or recommend) some popular websites for blog hosting if I want to open a blog, especially in the xxx.fi domain ? Thanks !

You have to buy a .fi domain. I'd say blogspot is pretty good, that's one of google's babies. I don't like Wordpress very much, and they make you pay for a lot.

What kind of blog are you looking at writing?

blogger is the only free one that let's you run your own google ads. ( missus
does this with her own domain)


For 50-100 a year you can by your own webhosting and install your own copy of wordpress ( i do this, with a fi domain)

WordPress might let you install plugins but without them you can't do !"#¤%. The best blogs I've come across so far have always been blogspot ones.

I do this for a living....WP is free and highly customizable.
WP is as easy or as hard as yu want it to be.. it's very flexible.
As for cost... all you need is some hosting and you install WP on there.. no need for any extra fees.
Free themes are plentiful and most are high quality.
As for plugins.. again most can be had for free. And even the premium ones are cheaper than a subway melt.

WP FTW!

is it a porn blog ? well you may have some more readers on those topics.

be careful .fi domain has lots of restrictions, as it should follow certain law and act. If you do naughty stuffs, it can be revoked without hesitation.
The world is asking more from you... are you sleeping?

Weebly doesn't have the .fi but it's a good free blog. I switched there and like it.
