Have a blog on Blogger/Blogspot?

Posted by: ST on March 18, 2006 at 8:19 am

After reading the experience Betsy Newmark went through after her blog went down for four days, and after reading that something similar happened to Jason at Generation Why? (who has his own domain now), I encourage anyone with a blog at Blogger/Blogspot to do a backup of their site and get a domain with hosting services. Pricing is very reasonable and affordable – my domain and hosting are courtesy of BlogsAbout.com. There are many hosting/domain packages out there at any number of sites to suit your needs – whether small or large.

I started out blogging on Blogspot.com and had very few problems but it sounds like lately there are a lot of people out there who’ve lost their sites for days at a time – and some who are still wondering when (and if) they are going to get them back. If you’re uncomfortable with the possibility that your site could suffer the same fate, please look into exploring alternative hosting services. Free hosting services are good, but not when the content you’ve worked hard at posting and archiving just disappears for days at a time.

      I like zero price. Put with problems.

      Blogspot is priced right, and I even have an old site on Blogspot that I haven’t updated for months. But I wanted to own my domain name, and was willing to pay the price to do that and for the website hosting services. My regular site costs me a whopping $219.00 a year.

      To me, that’s worth it!

      Now what I need is a good web designer who can modify my WordPress presentation at a reasonable price!

      Unfortunately some of us don’t have the money to sink into webhosting.

      Plus I don’t know alot about it or have the time to dump into it.

      While free site blogspot may be, I will have to risk it I suppose. I back up my template and save entries to my desktop for security.

      Seems Haloscan is out for the count today also. Saw comments and trackbacks disappear on me and checked Haloscan to see they are completely down.
