Free Blog Hosting

Published on April 2, 2007 in CO.NR Related. 9 Comments

Blogs are a popular and useful way to easily post any information online weather its personal, informative or for a community. For most people, having a blog hosted on another site is an easy and simple way to get blogs online. Below are the two best free blog hosts I know of and both of them are fast, reliable and best of all ad free. It is also really easy to get co.nr domains for each to give it that more professional look.

Blogger
Blogger is a simple yet powerful blog creation tool which is now owned by Google. It allows users to create customizable blogs with great looking designs and helpful tools to edit and perfect their blogs using an advanced and friendly interface. Blogger uses Google accounts so if you already have one you can get started straight away. If your new to blogging I recommend this service as a simple alternative to wordpress. Create a blog easily now at http://www.blogger.com/start.

Wordpress.com
Wordpress.com is a popular blog host which lets users easily create blogs using powerful wordpress script. Creating a blog in wordpress is quick and has countless great features such as ready to use themes, spell-check, previews, autosave, an integrated stats system, powerful and automatic spam protection and importing tools from other blogging platforms. I personally recommend Wordpress.com and use the script on this blog. See its features in more detail here: http://wordpress.com/features/.

I hope this helps and feel free to comment with your own thoughts and suggestions on free blog hosting. Have a blog hosted at either of those hosts? Tell us what you think below or email me at admin@directory.co.nr.

Best Free Hosting

Hi, there are many free hosts out there but most of them require constant postings, large ads or annoying popups. After spending a long time looking around at free hosts I have found two hosts that have been around for a fair while with a consistently great service.

The two hosts I have mentioned below are the best ones I have come across and have been around for a while. Both hosts are completely free with no ads of any kind:

50Webs Free Hosting:
For small personal websites that do not need much space, 50Webs is the best free hosting provider available. They offer an easy to use control panel with features such as ftp and pop3 email support. The free hosting plan allows you to store up to 60mg with unlimited bandwidth.
Here is the url: http://www.50webs.com/free_plan.html

Logical-Host:
Logical-Host provides much more robust hosting however they require you to post once to sign up. Posts start at 15 posts (one time) for 1gb storage and 5gb bandwidth. This host provides support for ftp, pop email accounts, server site scripting, fantastico and everything you would expect from a paid host.

Overview:
In conclusion, 50Webs is perfect for small personal websites where as Logical-Host is more suited to larger websites that need more features. Both web hosts are completely free with no ads.

Cheers guys,
