There are many web hosting companies to choose from if you're taking the plunge into making your own website with a comic content management system (CMS) like ComicControl or Grawlix, a Wordpress comic theme like Toocheke or ComicPress, or a HTML template to cut/paste code like Rarebit. While these solutions are generally free, finding a home for them is... generally not. It can be hard to choose what's best for your webcomic AND your budget!

We took a look at a few of the top hosting services used by webcomics creators using webcomic CMSes, and we put out a poll to ask your feedback about your hosts!

This post may be updated as time goes on as new services enter the hosting arena, or other important updates come to light.

Questions:

💻 I can get a free account with Wix/Squarespace/Carrd, could I just use those for my comic? - Web hosts like this may have gallery functions that could be adapted to display a series of pages, but they are very basic and not intended for webcomics.

📚 Wait, I host on Webtoon, Tapas, Comic Fury, or some other comic website, why are they not here? - Those are comic platforms! We'll get into those in a future post!

🕵️‍♀️Why does it say "shared hosting"? Who am I sharing with? - "Shared hosting" refers to sharing the server space with other customers. They will not have access to your files or anything, so it is perfectly fine to use for most comic CMSes. You may experience slowing if there is too much activity on a server, so if you're planning to host large files or more than 10 comics, you may want to upgrade to a more robust plan in the future.

Web Host List

Neocities

Basic plan pricing: Free or $5/month. Free plan has more restrictions (1 GB space, no custom domain, and slower bandwidth, among other things)

Notes: Neocities does not have database support for paid or free accounts, and most comic CMS solutions require this (ComicCtrl, Grawlix, Wordpress). You will need to work with HTML/CSS files directly to make a website and post each page.

Hostinger

Basic plan pricing: $11.99/month or $7.99/month with four year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 4 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain for the 1st year. Free SSL Certifications. Weekly backups.

KnownHost

Basic plan pricing: $8.95/month or $7.99/month with four year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 4 year plans available).

Notes: Free DDOS protection. Free SSL Certifications.

InMotion Hosting

Basic plan pricing: $12.99/month or $9.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, and 3 year plans available).

Notes:  Free SSL Certifications, free domain names for 1 and 3 year plans. 24/7 live customer service and 90-day money-back guarantee. Inmotion also advertises eco-friendly policies: We are the first-ever Green Data Center in Los Angeles. We cut cooling costs by nearly 70 percent and reduce our carbon output by more than 2,000 tons per year.

Reviews:

👍“I can't remember it ever going down.”

👍“InMotion has a pretty extensive library full of various guides on setting up and managing websites, servers, domains, etc. Customer service is also fairly quick on responding to inquiries.” 👎“I wish it was a bit faster with loading pages.”

Ionos Hosting

Basic plan pricing: $8/month or $6/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 2 and 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain for the first year, free SSL Certification, Daily backup and recovery is included. Site Scan and Repair is free for the first 30 days and then is $6/month.

Reviews:

👍“Very fast and simple” 👎“Customer service is mediocre and I can't upload large files”

Bluehost

Basic plan pricing: $15.99/month or $4.95/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain and SSL certificates (for first year only). 24/7 Customer Service. Built to handle higher traffic websites. Although they specialize in Wordpress websites and provide updates automatically, that's almost a bad thing for webcomic plugins because they will often break your site. Their cloud hosting services are currently in early access with not much additional information available.

Reviews:

👎"The fees keep going up. Like I could drop $100 to cover a whole year, but now I'm paying nearly $100 for just three months. It's really upsetting."

👎"I have previously used Bluehost’s Wordpress hosting service and have had negative experiences with the service, so please consider with a grain of salt. I can confirm at least that their 24/7 customer service was great, although needed FAR too often."

Dreamhost

Basic plan pricing: $7.99/month or $5.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free SSL Certificates, 24/7 support with all plans, 97-day moneyback guarantee. Not recommended for ComicCtrl CMS

Reviews:

👍“They've automatically patched 2 security holes I created/allowed by mistake.” 👍“Prices are very reasonable” 👎 “back end kind of annoying to use” 👎 “wordpress has some issues” 👎 “it's not as customizable as some might want“

GoDaddy

Basic plan pricing: $11.99/month or $9.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free 24/7 Customer service with all plans, Free SSL Certificates for 1 year, free domain and site migration.

Reviews:

👍Reasonable intro prices for their Economy hosting, which has 25GB of storage 👍Migrated email hosting service from cPanel to Microsoft Office, which has greater support but may not be useful for most webcomic creators. 👎 Many site issues and then being upsold during customer service attempts. 👎 Server quality found lacking in reviews 👎 Marketing scandals in the past with a reputation for making ads in poor taste. Have been attempting to clean up that image in recent years. 👎 “GoDaddy is the McDonald's of web hosting. Maybe the Wal-Mart of hosting would be better. If your website was an object you would need a shelf to put it on. You go to Wal-Mart and buy a shelf. It's not great. It's not fancy. It can only hold that one thing. And if we're being honest - if the shelf broke and your website died it wouldn't be the end of the world.The issue comes when you don't realize GoDaddy is the Wal-Mart of hosting. You go and try to do things you could do with a quality shelf. Like, move it. Or add more things to it.” MyWorkAccountThisIs on Reddit*

Things to consider for any host:

💸 Introductory/promotional pricing - Many hosting companies offer free or inexpensive deals to get you in the door, and then raise the cost for these features after the first year or when you renew. The prices in this post are the base prices that you can expect to pay after the promotional prices end, but may get outdated, so you are encouraged to do your own research as well.

💻 Wordpress hosting - Many of the companies below will have a separate offering for Wordpress-optimized hosting that will keep you updated with the latest Wordpress releases. This is usually not necessary for webcomic creators, and can be the source of many site-breaking headaches when comic plugins have not caught up to the latest Wordpress releases.

Any basic hosting plan on this list will be fine with Wordpress, but expect to stop or revert Wordpress versions if you go with this as your CMS.

🤝 You don't have to go it alone - While free hosts may be more limited, paid hosting on a web server will generally allow you to create different subdomains, or attach additional purchased domains to any folders you make. If you have other comic-making friends you know and trust, you can share your server space and split the cost!

if you've ever wondered how to record/stream Nintendo DS gameplay and you have a Wii U collecting dust somewhere, consider Wii U Homebrew...

wiiu.hacks.guide <- do this

early on you'll be prompted to make a NAND backup (that's the Wii U's internal storage), so if you have a 32GB Wii U, you should use an SD card with more than 32 GB of free space. also be sure to:

install the SDCafiine plugin on the guide's "Finalizing Setup" page (or get it while downloading Aroma). this is a mod manager, so we'll be able to add a "pixel perfect" mod to DS Virtual Console games

download 01_sigpatches.rpx and place it in the wiiu/environments/aroma/modules/setup folder on the SD card. this allows unsigned games to launch

download + unzip NUSspli-x.xxx-Aroma.zip and move NUSspli.wuhb to the wiiu/apps folder

with the SD card in the Wii U, turn on the console and launch NUSspli from the Wii U menu. search the downloadable titles; if the DS VC game you want is available there (or here), take note of the 16-digit "title ID" associated with the game as you install it. if your game isn't there, you'll need to use something like the Ultimate Wii U Virtual Console Injector (for Windows):

first, check this Wii U VC NDS Compatibility List to make sure the game isn't incompatible (DSi enhanced games won't work, for example)

follow the UWUVCI Nintendo DS Inject Guide-- you'll be prompted for a "Wii U Common Key", which you can get from your nand backup, and a "Title Key" for whichever random base game you'll be injecting your NDS rom into (googling "wii u title keys" should point you in the right direction)

now that it's packaged in the SD card's install/ folder, you should be able to use NUSspli to install your injected DS VC game! you'll have the option of installing either to NAND or external USB storage. (supposedly there's some risk in installing to NAND, but the other option requires USB storage that's fully formatted to Nintendo's proprietary format-- no partitioning-- so just do what works best for you 😮‍💨)

finally, for pixel-perfect screen layouts, get the Pixel Perfect Layouts mod by HEYimHeroic (download link). the SD card layout will be sd:/wiiu/sdcafiine/XXXX/Pixel Perfect Layouts by HEYimHeroic/content/... with XXXX being replaced with the game's title ID (no dash). if you don't know an installed game's title ID, you can check by finding the game in the SaveMii homebrew app.

now the game should have some nice and crisp display options, plus you can make great use of the Wii U gamepad's touch screen for games like Trauma Center and Ouendan! (keep in mind, though, that microphone features may or may not work depending on the game?)

Top Reasons to Build Websites in WordPress in 2024

In today's competitive era, having a solid online presence is essential for businesses. After all, your website is the virtual storefront showcasing your line of business, products and services to your target audiences. However, with so many website-building options available, choosing the right platform can feel overwhelming. 

That's where WordPress comes in. So, what started off as a blogging tool has quickly evolved into a powerful website builder and a robust content management system. Yes, we are talking about WordPress, the powerful CMS that constitutes more than 40% of the websites across the world. If that isn't already an impressive enough statistic to help convince you why you should choose WordPress, then keep reading.

WordPress

WordPress is an excellent CMS that enables WordPress website developers to create, edit and publish content such as blogs, websites, e-commerce products and more. The world's most powerful platform is used by countless businesses to build their website, and for good reason. Let's delve into the top reasons why you, as a small business owner, should consider joining the WordPress bandwagon-

Free to use

WordPress is a free platform, which means the WordPress website developers are free to download, install, use, and modify it to match your business needs. While the software is free, you would still require a domain name as well as web hosting to install and start using it.

Ease of use

WordPress is one of the most flexible and powerful platforms; therefore, WordPress website developers find it quite easy to use. The platform comes with a simple dashboard with different menu options in the sidebar,y making it easier to create posts and pages and customise the website design. It regularly releases updates so that WordPress professionals can easily install it with mere a click of a button. There are excellent plugins for backups that allow you to set up automatic backups. In addition, it also comes with secure best practices, which makes the website secure.

Customizable

Most WordPress professionals find the platform to be the perfect solution because there are thousands of free templates or themes from which to choose. These themes are easy to customise because many of them come with their own options panel, allowing you to change the colours and background, create sliders, and truly customise anything without writing the code.

SEO Friendly

Any website in the world will not be a success if it doesn't attract traffic or the target audiences. Luckily, WordPress is built with SEO-search engine traffic in mind. It uses high-quality code with semantic markup, which means Google and other search engines platforms can easily keep track of your website. This is why WordPress websites tend to rank higher than other search engines.

Highly Flexible

As your business scales, you need a reliable platform to ensure the higher traffic does not disrupt the overall user experience. WordPress offers higher scalability for websites and can easily handle traffic. It uses caching to store content locally, so when the user requests data, reloading the website is easy, and data is available. Also, when it comes to flexibility, it allows businesses to customise their features.

Third-party Integrations

WordPress's website has loads of features that offer advanced functionalities. However, if your website needs additional functionality, you would need to integrate the external services. For example, an eCommerce website may require additional functionality like payment gateway integrations. External services may use a different programming language, or you may plan to integrate a custom plugin for which Rest APIs are also the best option. The Rest APIs in WordPress enable enhanced third-party integrations for added functionalities and improved performance.

Minimal coding

5 Best: Web-Hosting With Free Domain Name (2023)

Do you want to start a blog or online store on a budget? You’ve come to the right place! We’ve compiled a list of the best web hosting providers that offer free domain names, so you can get your website up and running without breaking the bank.

While starting an online store or a WordPress blog, a domain name and web hosting plan are two of the necessary things you need. Typically, most people will purchase the domain name and hosting plan individually, spending more money.

There’s a hack to save money on your next domain purchase! And that’s exactly what I’m going to share with you today.

A few high-quality hosting companies offer free domain registration when you purchase their hosting plan for a year or more. They do this to market there product, and usually when people start an online business, they don’t change hosting often. With this tactic, there’s no catch, and you save $10 – $15.

Sounds interesting, right?

To help you save money on domain purchases, this article will show you the top five web hosting companies that offer free domain name registration. But before diving deep, let’s look at some essential things about the free domain name offer.

Page Contents

Important Things You Should Know About the Free Domain Offer

Understand the idea: The hosting providers will only give you a free domain name when you purchase any of their hosting plans. Most of the hosting offers this when you buy hosting for one year or more. If you are starting now, you should check my guide on how to save money on hosting.

No cancellations/refunds: While most of the hosting companies here offer 30-60 days refund, but domain name can’t be refunded. So even if you cancel hosting, you will be paying the domain name fees which is roughly $10, and this is only in case you end up asking for refund. Since these hosting companies are tried and tested by us, most of our users are happy users of these hosting companies.

You’ll get only selected extensions: The most popular extensions you can get are .com, .net, .org, .info, and so on. So, ensure the domain extension you need is available with the offer.

Renews at the standard rate: The free domain name registration is only available for the first year. You should renew it at the standard rate from the second year and afterward.

Best Web Hosting Companies that Offers Free Domain Name

In a nutshell, the companies are:

Bluehost

DreamHost

HostGator

GoDaddy

HostArmada

Below, I will explain what makes each platform different and unique. So based on your preference and requirements, you can choose a platform.

Without any further ado, let’s get into the list.

1. Bluehost – Trusted by Millions

Save

Bluehost is be the first web hosting provider that I recommend. I use Bluehost for a couple of my side projects, and it is one of the best platforms for hosting WordPress websites. The platform is also recommended by WordPress, which makes it even better.

When you purchase any of the Bluehost shared or managed WordPress hosting plans, you will get access to a free domain for a year! Besides free domain registration, Bluehost will also reward their customer with a $150 credit for first-time AdWord users in the US. With the credits, you can boost your ad campaign and get more potential customers.

To help you protect your online business from threats, they will offer you a malware-scanning option. If any of the theme files or WordPress core files get affected, the scanner will notify you regarding the case, and you can take appropriate action.

You can also use the in-built backup feature to protect your hard work from hackers. After purchasing the hosting plan, you’ll get instant access to the backup feature. When you start using the in-built backups feature, you do not need a dedicated WordPress backup plugin.

Finally, if you are running a WooCommerce store and need to enhance the user experience and conversions, Bluehost got something unique. Their online store hosting plans will give you access to plugins worth more than $450. It is an excellent start to creating a stunning online store without any hassle.

WordPress.org vs. WordPress.com: Which One Is Right for You?

WordPress.org and WordPress.com are two distinct platforms for creating and managing websites and blogs. They each have their own advantages and are suited to different needs. Here's a comparison of the two:

WordPress.org (Self-Hosted WordPress):

Hosting: You need to find and pay for your own web hosting to use WordPress.org. This provides complete control over your website.

Customization: You have full freedom to install themes and plugins, allowing for extensive customization. You can create virtually any type of website or blog.

Monetization: You can monetize your website in any way you choose, such as through ads, e-commerce, memberships, and more.

Maintenance: You are responsible for managing updates, security, backups, and other technical aspects. This requires some technical knowledge or hiring someone to do it for you.

Cost: The WordPress software itself is free, but you'll incur costs for web hosting and potentially premium themes and plugins.

WordPress.com (Hosted WordPress):

Hosting: WordPress.com hosts your website on their servers, so you don't need to worry about finding or managing hosting. It's a more beginner-friendly option.

Customization: While you can choose from various themes and customize your site, there are limitations compared to self-hosted WordPress. Advanced customization may require a Business plan.

Monetization: Free and lower-tier plans have restrictions on monetization methods. To have more control over monetization, you'll need a paid plan.

Maintenance: WordPress.com takes care of updates, security, and backups, making it a hassle-free option.

Cost: There's a free plan available, but to access advanced features and customization, you'll need to subscribe to a paid plan.

In summary, if you want complete control, extensive customization options, and are willing to handle technical aspects, WordPress.org is the way to go. It's great for businesses, bloggers, and developers. On the other hand, if you prefer a simpler, managed experience and don't need extensive customization, WordPress.com offers convenience and is suitable for personal blogs, small websites, and those who don't want to deal with hosting and technical details.

Ensuring Robust Security for Your Blogspot Blog

In today's digital landscape, online security is of paramount importance, and bloggers must take proactive steps to safeguard their Blogspot blogs from potential threats. While Blogspot, the popular blogging platform, provides several built-in security features, it's essential for bloggers to implement additional measures to protect their blogs and maintain the trust of their readers. If you want to know about Getting Started with Blogspot, Visit My Article. This article explores various strategies and best practices for enhancing the security of your Blogspot blog.

Keep Your Software Updated

Regularly updating your Blogspot software is vital for ensuring the security of your blog. Google, the owner of Blogspot, continually releases security patches and updates to address any vulnerabilities. Enable automatic updates or manually check for updates to ensure that your blog is running on the latest version of Blogspot.

Secure Your Login Credentials

A strong and unique password is the first line of defense against unauthorized access to your Blogspot account. Avoid using easily guessable passwords and consider utilizing a password manager to generate and securely store complex passwords. Additionally, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security, requiring both your password and a verification code for login.

Enable HTTPS

Securing your blog with HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is crucial for protecting sensitive information transmitted between your blog and its visitors. Blogspot offers free HTTPS encryption for custom domains, ensuring that data exchanged between users and your blog remains confidential. To enable HTTPS, go to the "Settings" section of your Blogspot dashboard and select "HTTPS" from the "HTTPS Availability" dropdown menu.

Regularly Backup Your Blog

Performing regular backups of your Blogspot blog is essential to protect your data in the event of a security breach or accidental data loss. Blogspot provides an option to export your entire blog, including posts, comments, and settings, as an XML file. Set a schedule for periodic backups and store them securely, either locally or using a cloud storage service.

Monitor and Manage User Permissions

If you collaborate with others on your Blogspot blog, carefully manage user permissions to restrict access to sensitive areas. Assign roles with appropriate access levels to contributors, ensuring they only have the necessary permissions for their tasks. Regularly review user accounts and remove any inactive or unnecessary users to minimize potential security risks.

Be Mindful of Third-Party Widgets and Plugins

While third-party widgets and plugins can enhance the functionality and appearance of your Blogspot blog, they can also pose security risks if not carefully vetted. Only install widgets and plugins from reputable sources, and regularly update them to ensure you have the latest security patches. Remove any unused or outdated plugins to reduce potential vulnerabilities.

Protect Against Comment Spam and Malicious Links

Blogspot has built-in features to combat comment spam, but it's essential to keep these settings properly configured. Enable comment moderation, captchas, and anti-spam filters to prevent spam comments from appearing on your blog. Additionally, exercise caution when approving comments containing links, as they may direct users to malicious websites. Avoid publishing comments that appear suspicious or contain unverified links.
