Step 2 – Owning Your Blogs – Domains & Hosting

First thing I’ll say is that if you’re advanced, have a good reliable webhost and
can install wordpress quickly then you can skip this chapter.
However if you don’t like running installs or are new and looking for a excellent
webhost then this is important.
At the beginning of this ebook you’ll remember me telling you about how Blogger
went crazy and started deleting people’s blogs. Because they hosted all these
then there was nothing anyone could do… Game Over!
That’s why it’s very important to make sure you own your own blog so you’re in
full control of it and can’t have it deleted without you knowing.
This costs money but it is well worth it once you have a few money making blogs.
I use and recommend Yahoo Small Business for hosting your blogs and your
websites. The starter plan is easily enough and comes with a free domain so you
just pay the small monthly hosting fee.
Here’s the link to get started with Yahoo Small Business

Yahoo is one of the most reliable hosts I have found and the sites I have with
them have received tens of thousands visitors in a day and not had a problem so
you know they aren’t going to crash when your blog grows.
There are cheaper options out there but I have yet to come across one that is as
reliable and trustworthy as Yahoo. I’ve even been with companies who offer quite
a bit of space and bandwidth on the plan but then shut your account once you go
anywhere near half of it
