There are many advantages to hosting your own blog:

1. You can have total control over whether you want advertising on it or not
2. You can have your own domain name
3. You have access to advanced web statistics and functions
4. You have complete creative freedom over the blog design and template choice
5. You have (within certain legal restrictions) complete freedom over content
6. It is yours, you create it, you write it, you own it.

There are many free options to create blogs, but as blogging platforms they are limited and you do not get the advantages listed above. Here at Blue Globe we are bloggers so we know what bloggers need. We also know that bloggers need flexible hosting plans and prices. This is what we offer. You can find out more about our blog hosting plans here, as well as checking out our latest offers on these right here on this blog.

Fist of all you need to choose a domain name and make sure that the domain name is available, and also see what prices different domain extensions are (for example, a .co.uk address is cheaper than a .com address). You can use our domain name checker on our homepage to do this.

Once you are happy that you have the right domain name for your blog, then you need to select which blog hosting package best suits your needs. We offer 6 basic packages, any of which can be upgraded at any time quickly and easily. This enables you to expand your blog hosting as you expand your blog readership (and revenue – should you want your blog to generate revenue through advertising.

Once you are happy with your domain name and package selection then you can quickly register and order your package here. Domain names are registered with immediate effect and normally become active within 48 hours. Once your domain has been active you can then set about installing WordPress and setting up your blog.
