If you blog seriously and professionally then having own domain name is necessary for personal identity. And when you hunt for quality web hosting service provider it becomes a tiresome job. Some hosting service provider are providing more space and more bandwidth but service qualities (support, uptime, etc.) are bad.
So, to judge good web host you need to consider some parameters in mind, such as better up-time and 24/7 prompt support should be given first priority.
If you take my experience: my previous web hosting service provider had 24/7 prompt support, but up-time was not better. My blog Espreson used to down several times.
Now I switched to ANHosting, which provided me
- 500GB WebSpace
- 5000GB Bandwidth
- Unlimited Email Accounts, Subdomains, Addon Domains, SQL Databases
Sounds good and lucrative!
But, why switched to ANHosting?
- Reason: WordPress recommended
- Reason: best up-time and 24/7 prompt support (in my experience till date)
- Reason: ANHosting provides QuickSwitch service (it gives you hassel free transfer of your blog to ANHosting from your current registrar)
- Reason: Better package (as described above) at affordable price $6.95/mo
So, whenever you go for any hosting service provider for your blog always judge
- Best up-time and 24/7 prompt support
- Compare some good web-host
- Get some feedback from forum or user of that web-host
- Price comparison as per package
That’s all.

First of all of course your right: to have your own domain name is important and after one year at Blogger, I decided to go for WP and registered http://www.terella.no and it was a success. Google finds it more easy, my Technoraty authority has jumped and bloggers seams to find me more easily.
Another important thing is of course is a supportive host making your blog available 24/7 and also with a reasonable capacity. Mine proved worth it at the time when I was nominated for European Best Blog as more than 2000 visitors one day and at the most, more than 200 at the time.
I pay about 15 $ per month, but I like it to be a local one as I know the guys who runs it and always gets the best support.
Wishing you a great end to your week
As an existing MidPhase(+ anHosting) customer, I have got to agree with you 1oo%
There are some excellent niche blog hosts which give you really cool domains. Movie Buff comes to mind – http://moviebuff.tv
Maybe some of you already know about this free (sub)domain .co.ccActually it’s a subdomain, so we can create ourname.co.cc, and the advantage of .co.cc beside url forwarding or redirect, we can have our own dns record just like .com .net etc, but need 48 hours to change our dns record.I found the fast way, tryhttp://totalcc.co.ccFree hosting service, and easy .co.cc registeringNeed about 5 minutes of register, and I have my ownname.co.cc plus the free hosting.Why it’s so fast? Because the server of totalcc.co.cc and co.cc is just the same.Then we can make blog, gallery, forum, because fantastico installer script is ready, there are wordpress, coppermine, joomla, 4images, etc.Easy, fast, and free, of course..
Wordpress has become the most popular used platform in its category. A recent search i conducted on Alexa found wordpress.com to be number 22 in the top most visited websites “globally”.
Wordpress not only makes it easy to create a blog but it has also been used to develop websites, simply because it makes it so easy to update.
