Many bloggers don’t take load times, blog speed and functionality into consideration when determining what their blog needs. Did you know you could be holding the growth of your blog back by not self hosting your website?
There are many reason to why a bloggers should look at self hosted opportunities lets take a look at a few of them. Remember this can apply to you if you are using blogger or wordpress. Don’t allow your host to hold back your blogging growth.
1. Website loads slow
2. Website images take for ever to load
3. Sidebar holds up the load time of your blog
4. Your visitors aren’t leaving comments
5. Your complaints list continues to grow larger
6. Your blog is lagging here and there
7. Your visitors are getting page not found
8. Getting 404 errors when trying to visit your website
9. No one returns after their first visit to your blog
10. Your server says you’re out of resources.
Now you’re probably asking yourself the following questions, if I’m not happy what are my choices. I have four suggestions for you.
Godaddy - I use godaddy here on blogengage and recommend it seeing I’m a customer and their service is just amazing.
Host gator – I heard a lot of positive reviews regarding hostgator make sure to let me know how it works out if you decide to use them.
HostICan – is a competitive hosting company equal to hostgator and godaddy.
SuperGreenHosting – This Company is very competitive and has a great price for month hosting and is definitely worth checking out.

I agree some blogs needs to be self hosted or else they are missing traffic, visitors and improvement in their blogs. Besides hosting only cost about $5 a month these days that comes with free domain.

Thanks for this article. I’m currently using BlueHost as my web host and so far, they seem to be quite good. I’m not sure, though, what others think about the specifications of the hosting plan they offer, as with other web hosting companies, you may get more.
