Getting by with Monthly Payments to My Web Hosts

I am enjoying my latest web hosting choice. There are two companies actually and the first one does not cost that much and I am having two of our blogs hosted there, abusepreventionteam.org and marriageandbeyond.com. These are blogs for Breaking Point Foundation and me and my wife’s marriage blog.

The features of our hosting packages are a disk space of 2GB, bandwidth of 20GB. They also provide a maximum of 10 MySQL databases, mail boxes, email accounts, etc. The cost is only $16.99 per year. The only downside is I could not expand our online business.

So I decided to get another hosting package which can give me the flexibility having add-on domains. I have, so far, acquired more than 10 domain names, most of them, dot coms and are slowly building a network of blogs with different niches and am using the current hosting package that costs me about $10 a month.

I know that it would be cheaper to pay on an annual basis but I am not yet ready to invest that amount and to be honest I don’t have that big enough amount on me at the moment. So right now I am only getting by with a monthly payment while I slowly build up our online investments. If you are curious as to what hosting company I am using, feel free to drop a comment and I will contact you.

My Journey Through Blogging

When I first started out blogging, all I intended to do was to monetize the blogs. That is the reason why I set up many blogs using free services – no domain and no hosting payments. As I gained more experience in blogging, I also started to learn that investing in my own domain and getting a paid hosting service will do more to benefit me in the long run than not doing so.

I ventured into investing on new domains aside from getting own domains for my existing blogs. Then I set up Wordpress on the domains I bought. The first batch of domain names I got were of different niches that I thought were popularly being searched online. I didn’t actually do any study and research on the good words to use in the domains, I just played it by ear.

For the latest batch of domains I bought for me and my wife I started to research using Google’s keyword tool. After purchasing good domains, the next step was to put good and original content. I could either write the content myself or if I had extra funds I could hire a good web content writer. I would need to get an example of custom term paper or content the person has written before I do so, if ever.

So far, the new blogs my wife and I have set up got some traffic right away, as compared to the first blogs we set up. Through this we hope to increase our online presence and our income.
