People often ask me why a person would choose to self-publish their own blog vs. using a format such a Blogger.

There is a very good answer for this.  With a self-published blog like Wordpress, you will own all the rights to your blog and domain name and with Blogger you don’t. 

If your blog is important to you then you need to own the rights to it.  I have heard many horror stories about people spending a year working on their blog only to have the free Blogger randomly cancel their account.

When they try to get it back someone has already snatched up the name and they lose the blog forever.  This can never happen if you have your own hosting account, domain name and a self-published blog of your own.

You can imagine how devastating it would be to lose all of your hard work and perhaps even your entire concept. Don’t let this happen to you!!!  It can easily be avoided.

All you need to do to protect yourself is to find a good solid and dependable web hosting company that offers free Fantastico so that you can easily create and install an unlimited number of self-published blogs and websites all by yourself.

By using Fantastico’s auto installer program you can easily create self-publish blogs in only a couple of minutes.   

I highly recommend Expert Online Hosting.  They offer quality web hosting with Fantastico included with every plan and all for less than $5.00 a month.  You can create and publish an unlimited number of self-published blogs, mail list, forums, guest book etc. for this one low price. 

Expert Online Hosting even offers free web hosting for the first 30 days so that you can try everything out risk free.

Also, be sure to check out my free video lessons that will teach you how to set everything up.  You can follow along and watch me do everything.  You’ll get an over-the-shoulder view as I create and publish this site, the Webit Geek blog from start to finish.  It’s really quite easy to do.
