Free Blog Services

[oates151]

Hey guys,

I'm just beginning to work on a free blog and forum hosting website and I wanted to hear your comments on the name of it and how I can make it successful.

Vita is latin for "Life" so I think ill make the slogan "Blog Your Life"

Im going to be using BlogHoster as the software to offer all the free blogs since I have been told it is the best. I also bought a 20 GB reseller account for the domain and hopfully when I start getting revenue, ill be able to purchase a server, let me know if that was a good choice.

Let me know you have any ideas or suggestions on scripts/software, server space, revenue etc..

I appreciate it guys.

Anyone? Host Talk section seems to be dead today :P

Nice name..

I'd recommend that you start with a VPS though.. a reseller account won't offer much help to your members if they want some switched on/off or whatever.

Thanks much for the post Jamson!

I will be releasing the blog this weekend and I will post all updates here ;)

I hope you will all join up for our free blogs! No ads will be required for the next few months and I think i'll only have ads on the homepage, not on the actual bloggers pages so they have more freedom.

Also, as a grand opening promotion, for all those who sign up and refer members (haven't decided on the number yet) will receive a free Top Level Domain for their blog OR option of free cpanel hosting on their domain. Do you guys think thats a good promotion? Should I make any restrictions to prevent scams etc or should I add more to the promotion/cut anything out? Any comments appreciated on that.

Thanks guys!

Sometimes it's interesting to read about people's experience if this story isn't very long and all the thhings are given in a laconic way but I hate reading long with a lot of digressions ones.
