Jeff-

Am I cruising for a bruising if I try to install your SEO snazzy blog (coaching club version) on a 1and1 low level account, not a dedicated server? Will it work without contortions?

Thanks

Steve

Jeff Johnson: it will work on just about any hosting account that hosts wordpress blogs in general without issue.

Hi, Jeff. Can you please tell me why I need to purchase a domain and hosting to have a free blog?

Thanks,
Dave

Jeff Johnson says: You don’t, it’s up to you. wordpress has to be installed on a hosting account, though.

I have been with Host Gator for several years after going through several host with problems. I do not know much about the Host Gator support because I haven’t had any problems yet.

Jeff:

I thought I knew enough about web hosting companies to where I’d no longer have any problems in choosing one. After reading all the comments here, now I’m really confused.

I have several blog sites, but all are on free sites with either no domain name, a shared server, or with limited web building tools – unless of course you want to pay an arm and a leg for a one page deal.

These little hurdles make it quite difficult for using an seo traffic building strategy. One thing that I don’t really like, but it seems to be an industry wide practice, is that the web hosting companies want to charge you for a one or two year package; yet, they all give you the price broken down by the month – without the option to pay by the month.

Why would I want to buy a year’s worth of service, when I have never tried that company’s product or service before? Of course it’s cheaper to buy in bulk, but if I’m not satisfied with the service, I’ve saved nothing.

Most companies that I have dealt with never gave me a choice to pay more for by the month service. I figure that when I find a company that gives me a choice of a dedicated server, basic web building tools, seo positioning, and a by the month subscription, then I have found my web hosting company.

Is it possible Jeff?

Sincerely:

Alan Buck

Jeff, I currently have my blog hosted at GoDaddy. I know I need to change it. I haven’t seen mention of a requirement for C-Panel and Fantastico for your SEO Blog Software. Required?

I had heard many good things about HostGator…until I read Lars post 5/12. Is this reason enough to look elsewhere?

I’m just starting fresh with this blog (I’m a Newbie) and want to do it right the first time.
Thanks
Denny

Hi,
Thanks for your great resources.

I don’t know about you but with HostGator I have problem with nearly all scrips.

They don’t allow permission 777 and many scripts need that for changing parameters, setup and so on.
After many mail with them I am tired and are going to change to another Host that work better with scripts.

Can you suggest a good Host that is no problem?. Thanks Lars

Jeff Johnson says: I know I set 777 at 1and1 and I believe midphase.
