Your first website is a big step. If you’re self-publishing online, whether via a blog or other site, you usually need to cut costs, but at the same time you want the best quality website you can get. Your hosting service matters too, because if they are not reliable, you may lose readers. When shopping for cheap hosting plans don’t forget to compare features like available disk space, and any additional costs for set up or domain name. You also want to know what kind of support they provide. Companies like InMotion, HostMonster and iPage provide highly rated hosting services at cheap rates as long as three to five dollars a month—less is reasonable, if you get a shared account.
