Running an online blog can be very liberating and cathartic experience but at the same time it be very frustrating when having to deal with web hosting and domain registration issues, more so if you have your blog or website hosted overseas.

If your not so tech savvy, its a good rule of thumb to select a web hosting provider or domain registra that be available to your beck and call in your timezone. Last thing you need are issues that can be resolved or priority accelerated after a simple call drag on for days as emails fly back and forth through there ticketing system.

Unlike webhosting, the domain registration process usually is a fairly simple process where even non tech savvy bloggers like myself can feel like professional at the end of registering a domain. You won’t need to have a web hosting plan to register your domain name, it’s usually a good idea to register the domain first as there may be other people looking to register the same domain as you.

Once you’ve developed enough content for your blog then you should start to consider your webhosting package.
