7 Tips for Choosing Paid Web Hosting

July 16, 2017
Like it or not, web hosting is one of the vital keys of a blog or website. And as is known, web hosting is divided into two namely free web hosting and paid web hosting.

I myself prefer paid hosting because of the flexibility and advantages of its features. In addition, I also had read some articles that states some free web hosting has some very crucial problems.

Now this is choosing a web hosting arguably not as easy as turning the palm of the hand because of the many hosting providers with a variety of tempting offers. Below are some important considerations for me in choosing a hosting:

1. Number of Customers

Obviously this parameter can be debated. However, for me the number of customers is important. The more number of customers a hosting provider, the better the service and the quality of the hosting provider. Logically, if the service is bad, the customer will automatically be disappointed and leave the hosting provider concerned.

2. A top customer

From the number of customers, I want to know if there are bloggers of the world who use the hosting provider that I want to choose. I finally did some research online and found that some of the world's bloggers are using the hosting.

3. Server Speed

I want a blog that I have fast loading time. In addition to accessible with a slow connection, this fast loading time makes my blog readers comfortable, without having to wait for a slow loading time.

4. Bandwidth

A large enough bandwidth is required when visitors and the number of page views are high. This is important to me because there are some blogs that I am setting to capture thousands of visitors from social bookmarks sites. In short, when the visitor flooded, my blog does not hang (down).

5. Price

Cheap price does not guarantee that the hosting is good. Hence, I do not choose cheap hosting, but do not also choose expensive hosting. To find out, I compare some hosting providers in the country.

6. Customer Service

Professional hosting providers certainly pay attention to customer service. Therefore, I try to contact the customer service of the hosting provider via chat to ask beberpa things I want to know. A good response shows his professionalism.

7. Can Add On Domain

Add on domains are domains added in one hosting account. Thus, we can have multiple blogs in one account at no additional cost.That's my tips on choosing paid hosting. Hope to help you who are not familiar in choosing web hosting.

July 14, 2017

When this law we associate with the world of blogging, one example is there are successful bloggers, there is also the opposite. According to John Chow, this success is at least influenced by 9 errors in blogging.

Therefore, in my opinion, these 9 errors must be avoided if we want to become a successful blogger. What are the mistakes?

1. Not up to date blog

John Chow mentioned that blogs that are not updated are dead blogs. For example, someone who diligently post a few posts in one month. However, one month later the person does not up his datasya again. What's the solution?

Successful bloggers earning tens of thousands of dollars per month it recommends that we consistently up to date blog according to our ability. If we are able to post one post per day, we must commit to doing it per day. However, if we are only able to post one post per week, we have to commit to doing it every week.

2. Blogging is solely for money

When famous, the blog filled with ads and posts paid review without providing the information needed visitors. According Chow, blog visitors generally do not like with so many ads and writing paid review. The solution, we must put both types of monetization is proportional (balanced) so that our blog readers do not feel disturbed.

3. Hastily publish the writing

After typing a post, a blogger hastily pressed the publish button without rereading the page. John Chow suggests that we check at least two or three times the posts to publish in order to avoid typos, the flow of writing that does not flow between paragraphs, and broken links.

4. Do not enter personal opinion

According to Chow, a blog is not a newspaper or online magazine. Visitors will be interested to read if the article is the opinion of the blog manager.

5. Copy and paste other people's posts

Besides being unethical, this activity does not reflect the creativity and uniqueness of oneself. According to Chow, we can create the same writing with the topic of posting others. However, once again we must give our opinion in our own words.

A blog is a means of two-way communication between the owner and the visitor. When blog visitors commented, Chow suggested "please answer them".

Just give a summary of RSS feeds. John Chow's experience shows that after he has given his RSS Feed completely, his subscriber count has doubled.

8. Do not reach other blogs

According to Chow, do not reach this as do not comment on other blogs, do not give link exchange, do not want to love track back on other blog posts, and do not join the community of MyBlogLog other blogs that are as good as.

9. Write for search engines

Posts created are focused only on the top search engine rankings, not for visitors. As a result, the text is filled with excessive keyword overruns.
