One of my cousins asked me to teach her how to blog. She started getting interested when I told her that people can earn from their blogs if they are willing to invest their time and effort. She does not know a thing about blogging yet so I really have to explain it to her step-by-step.

Obviously,  the first step would be setting up her own blog. I explained to her why it’s better if she gets her own domain instead of relying on a free one. From experience, it’s also better if your blogs are self-hosted.

I gave her some sites that she ca read if she wants to know more about web hosting. In order to know which are the Best Web Hosting Companies, I recommended her to read Webhostingreport.com. This site have taken the Top 5 Website Hosting companies and compared plan pricing, disk space, bandwidth, and the number of domains that a subscriber can host with one account.

According to them the best webhosting companies of 2008 are JustHost.com, IXWebhosting.com, Fatcow.com, Webhostingpad.com and Powweb.com. It’s good to read all these before deciding on which Webhosting company would suit your needs as a blogger.

Webhostingreport.com also includes helpful articles for beginners and professional website owners.
