Every blog needs a variety of tools that are indispensable. We’ve separated this post into a number of sections that include research, setup and growing your blog.
Research
In the research phase, you’ll be deciding what topic your blog is about, choosing a blog name, and choosing hosting.
Check Domain Name Availability
We recommend a .com domain name, as that is the most recognized and trusted. If a .com is not available, the next two choices are .net and .org.
Obtain Hosting
After you have chosen a domain name and found it to be available, it’s time to register it and choose hosting. In order to simplify the setup process, we recommend using the same service for both registering your domain name and hosting. That was everything is in one account, and saves you logging into different providers to manage your blog. We recommend Bluehost for both registering your domain and hosting your blog.
