Selecting the website domain is not very tough and you can easily select a perfect domain name for your new blog. If you decided on your domain name so you can skip this part.  This for you If you haven’t selected the domain name till now – When I started my blogging career, I don’t know how to choose a premium or brandable domain for my blog, and that’s why I wasted 10+ domains because I don’t like it also they don’t look brandable. I think you don’t make a mistake like me? If Yes! Here are four tips which help you to find your dream domain –   Keep it Short & Simple – Try to keep your domain as short, don’t make it too long because it’s not easy to pronounce and keep your domain name simply because it’s easy to remember. (Jon Morrow changed their domain name to BoostBlogTraffic to SmartBlogger, and their blog are getting millions of traffic because now his domain looks simple).Use Keyword – You can use your main keyword in your domain, which helps you in SEO.Don’t Use Numbers – You can’t use numbers in your domain because it’s not easy to remember the numbersAlways Use TLD Extension – I recommend you to use domain extension like .com because it’s for globally. If you are still not able to figure out the domain for your blog, then you can find brandable domain name using one tool: LeanDomainSearch Choose a Good Hosting For Your Blog For making a blog, you have to need web-hosting and domain, I know you don’t know about both, but wait, let me guide you in this and tell you more about it. Domain  Name –  The domain name is the name of the website which readers types in the browser. Example Of Domain Name : HTTPS://(Hypertext Transfer Protocol)www (the subdomain)WebbHostingFacts(Domain name).com(Top Level Domain). Your blog will have several files, content, database and many technical data which needs to store somewhere on the internet, so everyone can access your website post or pages. This container of your website data is known as web hosting and because of web hosting WordPress sites are known as a self-hosted blog. This means you are responsible for the security and performance of the website by having your hosting. Google recent update of Jan 2018, they publically announced that website loading speed will be the key criterion in ranking pages or websites. If your website loading speed is delayed by 1 second then you may lose 7% of probable traffic, yes it is true. If you understood the importance of hosting then don’t worry I will give you all the details regarding web hosting which will fit Google’s need and of-course in your budget. But at this moment just remember, you must be more focused on website loading speed. How to buy Best Web Hosting? Now, are you thinking which WordPress hosting is best for you? There are tons of web hosting which you can use to start your new blog. But I don’t recommend to you that because they are worthless. So instead of giving you the ton of hosting list, I recommended you to go with the Bluehost. Honestly, there are more than 50+ best hosting provider companies but only a few offer the best services at a competitive rate.

Good design helps to build more trust towards your readers. In your WordPress inventory, there are a hell lot of free themes that are available for you, but I don’t recommend you to go with that themes because these free themes are easy to hack, and by this, you will lose you all website data. If you want to do blogging as a business, so invest in themes and plugins because of this the best investment on your blogging journey. I see many bloggers don’t invest in this type of thing and face many critical issues later. So which theme is best for you? I use GeneratePress, which is the lightest theme (under 50KB), and loads your website fast, and also I liked the design of this theme, and many pro bloggers are using it because it’s easy to design. There are a few more themes which I can you suggest but before that let me tell you the Few things which you keep in your mind while purchasing a theme –  Make sure that the premium themes which you are purchasing are lightweight and easy to use.Check that the theme is compatible with your latest WordPress version.Always check that the theme is responsive or notSupport is the main thing, so try to find a theme that has excellent contact support (like Generatepress). For installing any WordPress theme on your blog just follow these below steps: First of all, you should be login on your WordPress dashboard ➡ appearance ➡ themes 1. In the themes section, you will find various free themes, but if you already have so, click on the add new button. 2. Click on the upload theme and upload your theme zip and activate that theme on your blog.  Finally, you installed and activate your preferred theme into your blog. Installing is a theme is an easy task, but the main and important task is to customize that theme. So if you want to customize your theme, click on appearance ➡ customizes, and now you can able to customize your theme. After making your theme responsive and optimized now, I will tell you some most essential plugin which almost every WordPress users install, and it’s also an important part to run your website on automation. Essential Plugins for WordPress WordPress without plugins is nothing because plugins are necessary to (Optimize your content, for SEO, Speed, and many more). There are lots of plugins on WordPress, but there are some plugins that I am currently using and making such things on autopilot. Want to know the list of my favorite plugin? So, here is the list of my plugins which I am personally using almost in all my website –  Elementor or Thrive Architect – These are the page builders for designing any page. These plugins allow you to create your dream landing page by just drag and drop. I used both, and they are very lightweight to use and helps me to create a stunning page. Rank Mathe SEO – SEO is important to rank and drive a lot of traffic. Rank math is the new SEO plugin that becomes a favourite for every blogger now. Many bloggers suggest you go with Yoast, but I don’t recommend that because they don’t have lots of features like that. WP Rocket – You already know that speed is one factor to rank on google. So wp rocket is the plugin, which helps you to optimize your full website and make it faster. I strongly recommend you to buy this plugin. Thrive Leads – If you want to collect emails of your readers so you can try to thrive leads which helps you to make popup lightbox, sticky ribbon, screen filler overlay, content lock, and more. iThemes Security – Security is the no.1 priority; many times, somebody tries to hack your website, so this plugin helps you to secure your entire website. Using the security plugin is essential to keep your blog safe. UpdraftPlus – Backup of your website is necessary, although your hosting keeps website backup daily. But for more security, I used this plugin to backup my website daily. This plugin helps you to backup your full website, and you can restore that data whenever you need it.

Resmush.it – If you are writing an informative article which has a lot of image in it so this plugin tries to optimize your images and by this, your website loads fast. Social Snap Pro-Social snap is a social sharing plugin, But I like this plugin so much because they help to drive traffic from mediums like – Facebook, Twitter, and many more platforms. These are the top plugins which I almost used in my all website to run them properly. If you are wondering how to install the plugin? Let me help with you that, Go to your WordPress dashboardThen go to Plugins → Add NewThen upload your plugin zip file and click on the “install now” button.After installing, click on the “activate button” to install that particular plugin. Finding keywords using keyword research tools The keyword is the key to success in blogging and if you got an idea of how to find a low difficulty high search volume profitable keyword, then you almost crossed half of the way to rank any blog post. When you type any query in google search window then that search query will be known as a keyword. In simple terms, the keyword is a query of any reader who types in Google to find particular details. If you will learn the CTR which is known as Click-through rate or simple mean how many people clicking to your page in Google SERP, Backlinko has analyzed over 5 million search queries and 0.9 million web pages and found the #1 ranking page is having 31.7% CTR as compared to 3% at the #10 ranking page If you are on the second page in SERP then in SEO people call this as the best place to hide your great content. Which is close to ranking but not able to get traffic and on the second page you may receive only 0.78% CTR. Hence, finding the right keyword should be your prime criteria, without this, you can not rank in Google. Now, are you excited about finding the best profitable keyword? If yes, then first learn the types of keywords then I will give you a master strategy of keyword research. What Are The Types Of Keywords? Keywords have been categorized into Three types and every type of keyword has different ranking criteria. So keep focusing on how that keyword works and their importance. Short Tail Or Single Word Keyword These keywords are targeting the broader term or category of a particular subject, ideally, you will find such keywords either in 1 word or 2-word query format If you search in google and type Yoga, then yoga can have numerous query to address such as: Yoga Poses.Yoga Exercie.Yoga advantages. This has an advantage of the number of topics to address in a single post but the disadvantage is they are a very competitive keyword. Almost every post in SERP related to Yoga has included Yoga in their title, URL and the content body. So my advice is to strictly avoid such keyword especially when you are a beginner. LongTail Keyword These days almost every query is searched in Google, there are plenty of opportunities that readers are searching for a particular query. In general, longtail keywords are in between 3-5 words long and directly addressing the user particular query and that is why i also call them the laser-targeted keyword. If we analyze the research data shared by Ahref on the long-tail keyword, then you can see the longtail keyword has less competition as compared to the short tail keyword, why? Because they have low search volume and no one is thinking to target those but on the other side these keywords are the jewels for beginner to rank fast. Longtail keyword has close to zero difficulty and if it ranks then 1000’s of other keywords will also start ranking for the same and other blog posts of your website. After all, you are also targeting the short tail or general keyword in the longtail keyword post, am I right? Let focus on the next type of keyword. Latent Semantic (LSI) Keyword  LSI Keyword is well known as semantic keyword or you can consider them as a secondary keyword. Yes, if you ask me a query in two different ways such as: Why don’t you write your blog post very quick? or why don’t you write your blog post very fast? In both cases, fast and quick having the same meaning and that is what Google thinks about millions of other queries. So LSI keywords, can not be your primary keyword but most recommended to use in your blog and now you might have thinking, how to find LSI keyword, right? It seems like, I am guessing everything that you are about to ask, isn’t it? Finding LSI keywords is a very easy step so let go back to yoga example and type only Yoga Poses in Google search and scroll down to the SERP pages. You have a closely related query to Yoga poses. My friend those queries or keyword will be your LSI keywords and that is what we will learn in the coming section, how to include them in post when we discuss how to write a blog post? The above listed three keywords are the major keyword types we need to focus on while finding the right keyword. Now you may be asking, what other criteria to check while doing keyword research and how to do keyword research? What Are Keyword Research Tools And Techniques? Keyword research can be done using free and paid SEO tools, these tools help us to identify what is search volume of any keyword and how much that keyword is competitive to rank in SERP. Every keyword is focussed around the below topics and you must be familiar with what is the importance of each one of them. Before learning each one of them takes a reference of the below screenshot taken from a paid keyword research tool Ahref. Keyword Difficulty:  Keyword difficulty will be shared by every tool on a 1-100 scale, based on how competitive that keyword is to rank in Google. Close to 100 will be more difficult.Search Volume: A keyword will have different search volumes in different countries, so make sure to identify that your keyword is searched in that country where you want to rank or not? Global Search Volume: It is obvious that most of the keyword searched Worldwide, except those which are country targeted, so focus on global search volume to diversify global traffic.Paid/Organic Click: Make sure the keyword should have more than 70% organic clicks else Google SERP will be full of advertising pages and you won’t get any ranking on the #1 page of Google. Seasonal Search: Make sure the search volume of the keyword should not be seasonal, otherwise you will be struggling to find the traffic throughout the year, remember the winter jacket example. Cost per Click: CPC will decide how much commercial that keyword is, so the more CPC any keyword has more chances to make money using Google Adsense ad network.   It seems, now you are confident about what to check for any keyword and except CPC all other factors are very important to focus while doing keyword research. Keyword research can be done through free and paid SEO tools, so let me brief you one by one quickly. Keyword Research using Free SEO Tools Ideally, free keyword research starts with Googe using Google search options.  So what you have to do is type your seed keyword in Google and it will auto-suggest numerous ideas and you can pick one. I typed, What are SEO and Google automatically suggested a few keyword ideas and now your job is to note down all of them in a notepad for further research. Let say, you want to write about  what is SEO Writing,  so our next step is to explore its ranking difficulty using an SEO tool and in this list, we can use a free SEO tool Ubersuggest Ubersuggest is the most popular tool which gives you 3 free keyword research & works on google suggestions and trying to find out search volume and keyword difficulty based on already ranking pages. As I searched for the keyword, What is SEO Writing (Long tail keyword) in Ubersuggest and here we are with a difficulty level close to 9 which is Easy. This tool fetches most of its data from Google keyword planner, and from the search volume graph, you can see the search volume is close to similar throughout the year.

They are not only used to find profitable and easy to rank keywords within a seconds but also used on other Off-Page SEO techniques. In this list, the two most popular tools are Ahref and Semrush. Yes, they are expensive enough to buy but very powerful. Here is summary on how to do keyword research using Ahref. Step #1 : Go to keyword Explorer in Ahref. Step #2 : Enter your seed keyword and choose the country for which you need to research and hit the search button. Step #3 : You will have a full dashboard of keyword SEO difficulty, search volume and a few more suggestions for our keyword SEO. This keyword looks competitive as it is having a difficulty of 93, so you need to narrow down your search. Step #4 : o explore more keyword ideas click to have the same terms or the keyword ideas given under section keyword ideas by the search volume. You have more than 3,00,000 ideas to explore with low to high difficulty. Step #5 : You can see a different keyword with different difficulty, their search volume and much more and for beginner, I would recommend finding a keyword with close to 0-10 difficulty. So click to KD and in the drop-down select Min=0, Max=10 and click to Apply then you have a collection of keywords with low difficulty. Boom!! you got a keyword “what does SEO stand for” which has a search volume of 6.5k and difficulty of just 6 which is very easy to rank. It has various filters and you can try and run with a couple of hacks to get your best profitable keyword. Similar way, I searched for the same keyword directly in keyword explorer which we searched in Ubersuggest what is SEO writing and here we have search volume and difficulty. Keyword analysis in paid SEO tools is always detailed and well researched as compared to the free SEO tool and you will find differences in between free and paid tools.

Ahref will charge you $7 for a 7-day free trial however Semrush will have the option to explore for 14 days free trial and to learn more why can’t you explore blogging Tools which I use. Most Asked Question Find Content or Blog Post Ideas You are very close to writing an SEO friendly blog post but the major thing to focus is to find out the right keyword query, but what does the right query mean? Imagine you have a keyword like xyz Login, which has close to 10 difficulty and millions of search volume and you decided to write a blog post by targeting keyword xyz login, will this work? No, it won’t, why? Because the intent of that keyword is reader wants to login xyz not to read any blog, so instead of xyz login you can focus on How to solve xyz login issue, this seems to target. And this is called search intent of keyword and finding write topic or blog post ideas. So let me give you some ideas on how to get those blog post ideas. In my list, I use to prefer the three most popular platforms to get initial ideas and later you can drill down them to match more on KD and search volume. Find Post Ideas From Already Ranking Pages Well you know the focus for the keyword, which you are planning to target is to get #1 in SERP, so why don’t you focus on all the ranking pages. So the easy step is to go in Google search and type your targeted keyword and go through all the ranking pages.

Boom!! now if you have to target the same keyword then start focusing on writing a list post not any ultimate or step by step guide. Is that clear? if yes then keep reading other ideas.

Write Your First Piece Of Stunning Post and Published It Are you wondering about writing your first blog post? So let me help you to write your first post on your blog. First of all, I want to congrats you that you have successfully set up your WordPress blog, and now it’s time to make some posts for your new blog. For creating a blog post, you have to go: Dashboard → Post → Add New After that, you will land on your post, and here you can start writing your first stunning post. Write 100% On-Page SEO Blog Post Do you know what does SEO means? SEO means search engine optimization, which means optimizing your content according to search engine need but your post should not only optimize for the search engine but the reader as well. Hence, first, I will give you an idea of how to optimize the post for search engine then will discuss what things you can do for readers engagement. When we talk about On-page SEO, which means our focus would be to target the keyword in the blog post.  So search engine can understand, what your post is all about and which is your primary keyword. How To Optimize Keyword For On-Page SEO? Here are a few tips, I suggest you should use while writing any blog post to optimize or target keyword in the blog post. Let me explain by taking an example of keyword electroneum price prediction. Include The keyword in Title or H1 Tag By default in every theme, the H1 tag is the title of the blog post, and in most of the case studies, it has been proved that it is worth adding your keyword in the title of the post. Ideally, it is recommended to add at the beginning but if not then it must include somewhere. Make sure the Title length should not be more than 50-60 characters long. Include The keyword in Permalink or URL Permalink is the custom URL of the blog post, in the below screenshot you can see in Google SERP. When I searched for keyword electroneum price prediction than just below the title there is a URL which is known as the permalink. It is also recommended to make your URL shorter and must have a keyword included in the URL, which you can change from the slug of the WordPress Editor. But do not forget to change the format of Custom URL structure by not including category, date or time in the URL, which you can customize from the Setting>>Permalink>>Use Custom URL structure like. Crisp is, if your Permalink or URL is larger then recommended characters then it will be truncated by Google SERP and Google focus on fist 50-60 characters only. Include keyword in The First Paragraph Always include your target keyword in the first paragraph of the blog post in a natural way not like stuffing the keyword for the sake of include keyword. If not possible in the first paragraph then must include in the first 100 words. Once you include in the first paragraph then the next step is to include the same keyword at max two times in the next paragraphs. Include Keyword in H2, H3 Headlines Always remember, a blog post has several H2 or H3 tags or in other words headlines. So make sure to include the keyword in the first H2 Tag, which should be in the first 500 words of the blog post. Then include the keyword in one of the H3 tags and one of your headlines must have LSI keyword. Use Internal and External Link Here interlink means linking your website post and pages and external link means to link with other website posts or pages. Interlink will increase your page views,mean when the user reading your blog post, he may click to link provided in the post and will navigate to another page and keep reading the others. Make this ideal practice to link the most powerful pages in every blog post as it passes link juice to the main page and that will start ranking. Similarly, link your blog post with any external site blog post, which gives a signal to Google that your post is a detailed post linked to other valuable resources. Include Keyword In Meta Description Google won’t rank any pages based on Meta description but it is very crucial for reader attention as if you include focus keyword in meta description then that is what the user can read in SERP. Meta description length should not be more than 150-160 characters as more than that will be truncated by Google SERP. Here you can see the meta description contain the target keyword and the user can get an idea in summary what this post all about and if you use an SEO plugin like Rank Math / Yoast Seo then you can decide what you want to see in SERP. Include Media and Alt Text Google looks for engaging content, where it is not packed with words only but it should have a better explanation using the media,hence include at least 2-3 images in 1500 words post. Here you can see, how I included more than 30 images in this detailed guide which makes the reader job easier to understand what I am trying to explain. While you include image make sure to include Alt Text for the image. This Alt Textgives Google a hint, what your image all about, as Google can not understand your image it tries to understand using Alt Text only. Keyword Density and LSI Keyword Never try to manipulate the search engine by inserting keyword everywhere, as it looks unnatural and it is recommended that your keyword density must be between 1-1.5%. This means, if your blog post length is 1000 words then make sure to use focus keyword-only 10-15 times but start including the LSI keyword and you know how to get LSI keyword from the SERP. Sprinkle the LSI keyword everywhere in the blog post as Google considers both keywords the same. All these are major areas to focus from the On-Page SEO perspective and to optimize your blog post and to verify all these parameters you can use SEO plugins, they will guide you on all these. Just enter focus keyword and rest it will guide you what needs fixes and what not. I am using RankMath SEO plugin, which has close to similar parameters like Basic, advance SEO checks.

Monetize Your Blog Every blog has the potential to monetize but niche blog monetizes more as compared to a multi-niche blog. The reason is, you can do remarketing and having the ability to turn visitors into full-time readers. The choice is yours, which type of blog you want to start but below listed few ways can turn your blog traffic into a money-making machine. Make Money Using Adsense Or Ad Networks Almost every blogger is familiar with Google Adsense, the biggest advertising network. They offer money to the publisher for placing ads on their website and if any of your readers clicks or views those ads then as a website owner you will get money. Google Adsense ads will pay in between $0.001 to $50 or even more for one-click on ads and this is known as cost per click or CPC. This means you will get money not only for displaying ads which they call impression but also if any reader will click to those ads. Here is a screenshot for one of my site Google AdSense earning proof which has only 200 visitors per day. In summary, you will be paid with Ads impression and clicks but how to display ads on the website. Once your blog is ready, you have to apply for Google Adsense.If your blog will get approved then you are eligible to display ads on your website. But if you are not familiar with how to connect and verify WordPress blog with Adsense then here is detailed step by step guide. Here are a few checks you need to make sure before applying Google Adsense. Make sure your website should have a custom domain like gTLD or ccTLD, never applied with a free domain like blogspot.com or any other.Your domain must be older than 3 weeks, this seems legit to the reviewer.Write at least 15-20 posts of an average length of 1000 words.The website must have a few mandatory pages such as About Us, Privacy policy, Contact Us and Disclaimer policy. Ideally, wait for 3 weeks to get it reviewed and approved and if not approved then fix all the issues and reapply after 30 days. In case, you did not get approval then you can try the best Adsense alternatives, which offer less advertising money but closely similar to Google Adsense. Media.net : Ad network offered by Bing and Yahoo offers money in the form of CPC and RPMAdThrive : They will ask you for the minimum traffic of 100k page views per month but you will get money for both CPC and RPM.Sovrn : It offers ad revenue only based on impressions not on the ad network. Ezoic : It offers best ads placement using AI and offer ad revenue only based on impressions. The real truth behind the ad network is, the higher the website traffic the more money you can make through ad clicks or impressions. But what if your website is not having that much traffic to make more money then you can use affiliate marketing. Make Money Using Affiliate Marketing Affiliate marketing is the process of promoting other products on your website either publishing reviews or guiding readers to the importance of the product. There are different affiliate networks like hosting provider companies, domain provider companies or any product providing e-commerce company. You have to register your site with their affiliate program and they will issue an affiliate link, which you can use on your blog. If any reader will click to that link then he or she will be routed to that product selling page and if the user buys that product you will get a commission for the same. In general affiliate marketing will work best, if your site is a narrow targeted niche website where traffic will be low but will be targeted. There are a few most popular networks. Amazon Associate : Amazon affiliate program is the most popular affiliate network, no matter what user is buying but if your reader visited Amazon using your link and bought anything in 24 hours, you will be paid commission in between 4-12%.Hosting Affiliate : This niche is very competitive but if you can make sell using your link you may receive money in between $50-$80 depends on hosting provider company.Click Bank : It is a collection of different affiliate products, you can approve your site with click bank and can start making money upto $75 or more for each sale.CJ Affiliate : CJ affiliate is a collection of 1000’s of products, you have to register with CJ and will get an affiliate link for the product, which you can use on your website for promotion. Affiliate marketing will be best if your site is focussed around a specific niche or micro-niche but be selective with product promotion. Make Money Using CPA Marketing CPA stands for cost per action, which means if your reader will perform any action on your website you may have the chance to make money through that.  How CPA works? Maxbounty is a very big platform, which offers a website owner close to $0.75 to $4 for capturing leads from your website. Here leads mean capturing user Email id, name or contact number, so you can use a lead magnet which is ideally an email subscriber popup on your website. If any reader will put his or her detail to that subscriber popup, in return you will get instant CPA commission based on detail user provided. The more you will get if the reader provided full details like Name, E-mail including his mobile number. With my experience, you can use Thrive Lead as Email subscriber popup, it has a higher conversion rate as compared to others. Selling Ad Spaces and Backlinks You won’t believe but if your site starts growing and getting organic traffic then you may receive email from big enterprises to put their Ads on your website spaces. You can sell ad sizes like 300*250 for $50 a month or like any size you want and people will be ready to pay for the same. On the other side, you can sell backlinks where you will give a Do-Follow backlink to other site and in return, they will pay for you. You may charge from $50 to $100 per link or can allow paid guest post opportunity for publishing their post on your website. Make money by selling Online E-books and Courses To sell a course or E-book, you need expertise on that particular subject. Selling an E-book means you already have knowledge about that particular subject and willing to share with your readers, and the price for that E-book will be decided by you. Similarly, courses are very popular so instead of uploading on Udemy, Skillshare or teachable platform you can prefer to upload or link with your site. It will be your recurring income and you will keep making passive income over time. In summary, if you have traffic on your blog, you can turn that traffic into the customer or money-making business. Where you are bringing the right people to the right product using your website and make a win-win situation for both.

What is Cloudways?

Plans and Pricing

Support and Documentation

Free Migration

Cloudways Discount

Cloudways Pros and Cons etc.

Why use Managed Cloud Hosting Platform?

Mostly we face problems with shared hosting. Before I used to run my website in one of the hosting owned by EIG Company. The problem with me was a budget and the problem with the hosting was speed.

If you don’t want to compromise the speed and other things then you have to switch to Cloud Platform.

Moreover, if you are thinking of owning an Unmanaged hosting platform like DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, etc. then you need to more of a technical person. You have to be a wizard on the command line to configure and reconfigure the servers.

In Unmanaged hosting, you simply get a server and you have to install everything including the base software like PHP, Apache, etc. There is no pre-installed CMS like WordPress, Drupal, etc.

Though unmanaged Hosting is cheaper compared to managed hosting, the main problem with unmanaged hosting is that you are the boss.

You have to control everything like installing security patches, upgrading servers & software, control your database, SSL, etc. using the command line.

To avoid all the above issues, you can use the Cloudways Managed Hosting Platform.

We’re drowning in a sea of email marketing and marketing automation tools, all of which do the same thing as the other.

However, one of the names that get floated around when talking about email marketing software is GetResponse.

It’s one of those tools that has been around since forever but continues to deliver the goods year in and out.

In this GetResponse review, we’ll try to break down the tool into its features and discuss its main strengths and weaknesses.

Since then, GetResponse has been expanding its features and growing its team globally.

The tool has also attracted praise from publications like Website Magazine which awarded GetResponse as the second-best email marketing provider in 2011.

But fast forward to now, with much stiffer competition chock full of bells and whistles to the delight of users, how has GetResponse managed to stay on top of its game?

DreamHost Review 2021: Should You Really Go For It?

DreamHost hosts over 1.5 million websites and is nearly 25 years old.

DreamHost’s main shared hosting plan comes with popular apps like WordPress, website builder options including their own, and others like Wix or Weebly.

These plans have unlimited bandwidth and disk space. And you get a full 97-day money-back guarantee to test the service out.

Their customer support is a bit limited, however. Migrations are also a pain, not allowing any imports from other cPanel sites and charging you $99/each.

When it comes to web hosting, there are a variety of options available to you.  Based on my experience, I would suggest that you choose your web hosting company based on your website requirements.

Here’s a transparent look at how DreamHost has performed over the last 12 months.
