The type of hosting is largely dependent on three key factors.
A blog can be anything from a personal journal, a platform for posting news or even just a place where you can publish your thoughts and ideas all on a single website. The potential topics for your blog are endless! Blog solutions are easy to use, even for users who have never run a website before. You’ll be able to publish content with just a few clicks of your mouse. Even updating the look of your blog will be easy with a quick change of a theme.
Blogging is a quick and easy way to create an online presence. After attracting an audience, a blog can become quite profitable by placing online advertisements on it. While often times done for business purposes, blogging doesn’t have to necessarily be a commercial venture. Many bloggers do it for personal recreation. It is common for hobbyists to create blogs based on their own personal interests. A blog can also be used to compose personal thoughts for your own enjoyment or for close friends and family. The reason you create a blog and the topic of the blog is entirely up to you.
Blog hosting is a service provided by hosting companies that allows you to park your blog site on their servers and equipment while also providing you with a domain and software to manage website and server management features.
When selecting a blog hosting site, there are a number of factors to consider. These include:
Traffic: Your blog hosting plan should be able to give exceptional speed, avoid slow page loads, and minimize downtime. The Turbo plans are suitable for high traffic areas. Hosting.com's Turbo Boost and Turbo Max plans provide unlimited storage, scheduled backups, data recovery, and user-friendly servers.
The Total Number of Websites: If you administer many websites, your hosting provider should enable an unlimited number of domains. All three hosting.com plans support an unlimited number of domains.
Blog Site Uptime: In order to avoid downtime and loss of opportunity, a good site should always maintain 99.94% uptime. Hosting.com commits to an uptime of 99.9% for all hosting plans
Support: Having competent, reliable, and speedy support is essential to quickly resolve any issues. Hosting.com's professional team is available 24/7/365 to quickly resolve any hosting difficulties, allowing you to focus on running your blog.

WordPress powers more than 40% of websites, thus you should put it at the top of your priority list. For those who want a code-free approach, WordPress is a terrific option. It offers chosen themes and pre-installed plugins that make the process of putting together a website both straightforward and simple. It also relies on how familiar you are with the backend of the software.
If you choose hosting.com, you may choose between two plans, hosting.com Shared Web Hosting and hosting.com WordPress Managed Services. Hosting.com Managed WordPress Hosting is a good choice if your site receives a lot of traffic and you prefer a hands-off approach to backend management.

The blogging software options available to you with Softaculous, particularly WordPress, make blogging extremely easy. Once installed, the easy to use WordPress interface allows you to start posting your thoughts immediately. Just log in and start blogging.
It’s important to note that the actual process of posting to a blog, called blogging, should be done a consistent basis. This helps to keep the audience engaged as well as create additional content that can rank well in search engines.
