I've really been giving a lot of thought into getting my own domain name. I know I've mentioned this before, but the one thing that worries me is whether I would be able to continue the web hosting services or if it will all come crashing down with the economy as it is.
Not too long ago I looked into webhostinggeeks.com. I liked the fact that they give you an idea of several different hosts by review. I like to know what the company is like from personal experience.
I was actually looking at Bluehost since it seems to be rated in the top spots of the site's reviews. There are a few great options that bluehost has, and I like the idea of a domain name forever. Then again, if I ever decided that I didn't want to keep it, that offer would be pointless.
I also noticed that web hosting geeks has free google adwords and free yahoo marketing. Those both might come in handy in the future. One thing I want to say about getting my own site. I don't want just one for the Insane Writer. I've been looking into the possibility of other sites as well.
What do you guys think? What would you go with? Would you use any of the sites listed? If not, what do you use? Any advice?

For a while now I've been kicking around the idea of my own website instead of just a blog. Several years ago I did happen to have my own website for my writing. The only reason I don't currently have it is because I never really did anything major with it and it wasn't worth the price at the time.
Since I've been focusing on freelance writing with the Insane Writer Blog, I've had some success and I've been wondering if I transfer this blog to a domain name, would it be even better? The only thing I don't really like about a web hosting blog is the fact that it that there is a lot more upkeep involved to keep it running smoothly.
And then there's the question of where do you turn to when you're looking for a good web host or domain name service? Who do you choose? I like the idea behind Web Hosting Geeks and their reviews and ratings on the best services for web hosting and domain names. It gives me an idea of what's worth it and what's not.
What do you think? is web hosting geeks worth the visit? Would you use it if you were looking for web hosting services?
I've been thinking a lot lately about getting a domain address. I've noticed that a lot of the clients I get from payperpost are requesting less blogger.com addresses and a lot more domain addresses. My problem is I really can't afford a domain at the moment. I have more important necessities to get like a vehicle. So for now I'll continue to dream about a real website and leave that stuff to the true money knowledge makers.
However, just because I can't afford a good website, doesn't mean I can't look at all of the great website designers out there. Take Network Solutions for instance. Now there's a nice web design service for you. You can even get a domain name through them. Pretty cool I think.
You can even go with a do-it-yourself package for $4.95 a month. Not bad and you get your own domain name for free! Hmmm. Is it too good to be true? What do you think?
Network Solutions also has Professional Website Designing Services for those who want to leave the technical mumbo jumbo to the big dogs. I'd be designing my own stuff, thank you very much! But, hey that's just me! I love web designing and playing around with HTML stuff. Knowledge is power. But, either way you go about it, a real website is definitely the way to go.
