Tech News Beats

There are tons of free blog host service providers these days but what should be our criteria for selecting one. Just do not go by if it is free, as if your blog becomes popular – it can open many earning oppurtunity. The criterias should be:

Webspace – How much webspace is provided – unlimited the better.

Uptime – The site should be 99.99% time online.

Bandwidth – How much bandwidth is provided? If you gain huge traffic at a latter stage will it be able to handle it? Unlimited bandwidth always better.

Features – what all features apart from the basic ones?

Monetization – Does it allow you to run your own ads? or it has some sharing income policy.

Keeping the above criterias in mind, I will give you a list of free blog hosts.

1. www.blogger.com - Unlimited webspace and unlimited bandwidth. Lots of features and allows monetization.

2. www.wordpress.com - Unlimited space and bandwidth, features, no monetization.

3. www.livejournal.com - It another popular blog host and has one of the largest number hosted blogs.

4. www.greatestjournal.com - offers podcast, free blogs, 1 gb photo uploads etc

5. www.freevlog.org – It is very good video blog host. The best thing about this host is, it allows you to customize your blog with your own domain.

6. www.busythumbs.com - It is moblog or mobile blog host and allows users to upload stuffs via GPRS enabled mobile phone or via website.

My idea is not to give you a big list of free blog hosts but to give reference of a few well maintained competent blog host which do the work for you. The above six I have mentioned should take care of all your blogging needs. If anyone is new to blogging, it is advisable to start with a free blog from blogger or wordpress to get a taste of it. Later when you gain experience and if you are serious about blogging then you can move your blog to your own domain for more control. You can use WordPress publishing platform as it is very easy.
