**Guest post** What web hosting type to choose for your blog? So you’ve decided to start your own blog, but you’re absolutely clueless when it comes to anything technical.  Before you decide on your design or any technical specifications you need to first buy a domain and hosting. This is a quick guide to introduce you to the types of web hosting there are, so that you’ll be able to find what suits you best. There are four main types of web hosting available: shared hosting, VPS, cloud hosting and dedicated hosting.   Shared Hosting With shared hosting your website is located on the same server as hundreds of other websites and all of you share the resources and have the same IP address.

The only good thing about the offer is the free domain name (lasts for a year) you...
