When I started Credit Card Diva a few years back, I was practically an anomaly among my friends who didn't know anything about internet publishing. But things sure have changed over the past few years and nowadays owning and operating your own blog is quite a common phenomena. The introduction of easy to use publishing platforms such as Wordpress and MovableType has brought the power of internet publishing to the masses and removed the technological knowhow barrier that previously limited this type of activity to geeks (like me) and tech savvy individuals.
But while updating and managing a blog is quite simple today, there still is the problem of blog hosting. Many bloggers are intimidated with the concept of dealing with hosting companies and therefore use free blog platforms that limit them from having their own domain and often place unwanted advertisements on their blog. But there really is no reason for this. If you are interested in opening your own blog and don't want to limit yourself in terms of domain name etc. I suggest you visit aqhost.com. They make it very simple to set up your own blog and don't require any installation or technical knowledge on your part. I highly recommend their Wordpress hosting package. With this package you get an automatic Wordpress installation, benefit from 1GB of disk space and a generous 10GB transfer rate for just $6.99 per month.
