Your own domain for your WordPress blog..
..or maybe not.
There are many alternatives for hosting web sites. For hosting your WordPress blog on your own domain you must check that the hosting company got a C-panel with Fantastico that will automaticallly install the WordPress blog on your domain. This is “easy” to do, but it is easy to get lost and forget steps needed to take. I will do a little QuickGuide for this.
Having your blog at WordPress without your own domain is possible. Good thing is you will get WordPress versions automatically updated and being searchable in their database (very good).
One both negative and positive feature is that your blog at WordPress.com is stable but the response time can be little slow. And you may have to buy upgrades for making design changes on your theme and more.
At last, if you have your own domain for your blog it will be more brandable. You should choose your own domain name if you are planning to build a business connected with your blog.
I have been looking looking around for this kind of information. Will you post some more in future? I’ll be grateful if you will.
