Super cheap hosting deal

internet No Comments »

I host macintoshhowto.com with Bluehost.

Here’s a post I wrote 10 years ago raving about how good they are. Here’s a post from a year back complaining about their billing.

In conclusion they offer rock solid reliable hosting, but they are so big it’s not easy to get support or billing help from them.

They have an amazing super special here with hosting for $2.65/month for 36 months. That’s very cheap to host your own wordpress blog.

I use bluehost.com to host the macintoshhowto.com website. This means I pay blue host a monthly fee and they provide hard disk space and computing power to run the website. To actually run the website I use some software called  Wordpress. WordPress is a great platform to host a blog or website from – it’s very easy to set up, and most web hosting packages will include a one step wordpress install  like the one I describe here. Here’s how to set up wordpress using bluehost. Bluehost is very cheap and reliable. I’d say as long as your wordpress website is getting under 50,000 visits a month bluehost should do the job. Macintoshhowto is just starting to reach about 80,000 hits a month and I’ve been hitting the limit of bluehost so I’ve needed to go over some things and prune some plug-ins to keep the site running smoothly.

 

So here’s how to install and run wordpress… Continue reading ⟩

NOTE: This article is for iWeb 08 and earlier.  Click here for how to do this in iWeb 09.

SUMMARY: iweb normally publishes your website to your .mac account on the apple server. But it also has an option in the file menu called ‘publish to folder’ which means it saves the entire website onto your computer. (It puts it in your user directory in a folder called ‘sites’)  You can then manually copy this folder to your own web account using a method called  ftp.
