Post by: haring on October 10, 2019, 09:01:50 am

I have 3 domain, 3 websites under my hosting plan. I pay 25.99/month at Bluehost. It is $311 for a year.

How much do you guys pay for hosting?

Thanks so much!

My Wordpress account is less than $100USD a year.  Includes my own domain name and a website (under construction) with unlimited traffic.  No e-commerce, though. I don't need it.

Peter,  I looked at your website.  Very nice.  I'm impressed with your writing.  Have your written professionally, novels or other?  You have a nice breezy style, very direct and clear. Would like to see some photos added too.  Good luck. Alan.

$0 - Netlify. Our course, you have to be prepared to do more works that with some of the other vendors.

Thanks, Alan.  My professional writing experience is limited to a dozen or so magazine articles.  The site you visited is mostly personal and journalism/blog oriented.

You're a good photographer too Peter.  I really like your "street" shots in India.  You have a good eye for the interesting and pretty - you wait for the light in your landscapes, something I know I should do more of but get lazy waiting around for it.  Or getting up really early to catch it. ;)

Thanks.  India is a target-rich environment for photographers.  See forum member klaban's recent superb images from India, too.

Waiting is easy if you have the right tools. Frito (my Sprinter van) is my weapon of choice for those endeavours.  In case you missed it:
