Some tips on personal sites
March 10th, 2010 by Jerson
Cool thing about personal sites and blogs is that you can be as unapologetic and as personal as you like. You don’t have to be realistic or even reliable, unlike how you should be on professional and commercial sites. Anyway, here are a few tips or notes on hosting and domain names just in case you feel the need to establish a personal site:
You may use your own domain name if you do not mind paying for the hosting fees since it may help in maintaining that individual feel to your site. Another advantage of course is the more liberal bandwidth allotment just in case you plan to upload a huge amount of images and videos.
But it wouldn’t be a crime if you make use of free web hosts. They’re not only free but they are also a lot easy to maintain if you don’t have much (or even no) background in web design and development. This is a good idea for the beginners. After all, you may get a paid host eventually when you get the hang of it.
