People make blogging seem harder than it really is. It’s not. With a computer and an internet connection, you can start right away. Here are 20 tools you need to start your own blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Domain Name<\/span><\/h2>\n

To start your own blog, you need to get your domain from a reputable hosting company such as Namecheap or Bluehost ie www.yourname.com. When you buy hosting from most companies though, you get a free domain<\/strong> for the first year. <\/em>The catch is when you need to renew and they charge you an insane $25 for a $15 domain. So get your domain separate from the hosting.<\/p>\n

Namecheap Domains<\/a><\/span> seem to be the best place to get cheap domains, and is less than $10\/yr for the first year. Renewals are less than $20 too.<\/p>\n

2. Good Hosting<\/span><\/h2>\n

Everyone knows I am a fan of Inmotion hosting<\/a><\/span>, because their basic SSD package starts from $4.99 which is way cheaper than Bluehost and Godaddy — in the long run —, but do your research and make your choice. A simple google search can do wonders. You can also decide to run on a free hosting like wordpress.com or blogger.com. You can get started by clicking below:<\/p>\n
